Pregnancy(妊娠) and childbirth kill more than 536,000 women a year. More than half of the cases
happened in Africa, according to the World Health Organization. In fact, most of the deaths are
preventable with basic medical care.
The five leading causes are bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, longtime labor and bad
abortions (流产). Mothers' deaths from such causes were largely reduced nearly a century ago in
developed countries.
Experts say that what kill many women are "the three delays",   the woman's delay in deciding to go
to the hospital, the time she loses traveling there and the hospital's delay in starting treatment. Only
about 15 percent of births have dangerous complications(并发症).
Women lack education and information about birth control. Husbands and inlaws may decide where
a woman gives birth and insist that she stay at home to save money. However, there is no single solution
to a problem with so many factors shortages of doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment, roads and
transportation-though hospital officials are trying many things now.
Onestopgapmeasure to solve the problem for the present has been to train assistant medical officers,
to perform certain operations. Some African countries are now struggling to train more assistants and
midwives(接生婆), and provide places for pregnant women to stay near hospitals.
But there is a long way to go. Only 20 percent of women in the continent give birth at the hospital.
More than 50 percent stay at home to give birth, and the rest go to local clinics that cannot handle
emergencies.
1. Which is not included in the five leading causes of women's     deaths during pregnancy and childbirth?
A. Infection.
B. High blood pressure.
C. Traveling long distances.
D. Bleeding.
2. The underlined word "stopgap" probably means "________" in     the passage.
A. final
B. temporary
C. effective
D. instant
3. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Most problems that cause women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth can be
treated or prevented.
B. Developed countries should help African countries reduce mothers' deaths.
C. The husbands in poor countries should take responsibility for their wives' deaths.
D. The governments of African countries have to take more effective measures to save pregnant women.
4. What is the author's attitude towards the future of preventing women's deaths during pregnancy
and childbirth?
A. Positive.
B. Negative.
C. Objective.
D. Subjective.

       第三部分是结尾段，对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时，而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性，也常使用被动语态。
