【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍澳大利亚的文化和生活方式。
1.考查名词性从句。句意:每个国家都有自己的文化和生活方式,很多人想知道生活在澳大利亚这样的国家会是什么样子。此处动词wonder后面是一个宾语从句,宾语从句中的介词like缺少宾语,所以引导词既要起引导作用,又要做like的宾语,that只起引导作用,而what可以起双重作用,故把that改成what。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:每个国家都有自己的文化和生活方式,很多人想知道生活在澳大利亚这样的国家会是什么样子。代词it在此句中作形式主语,不定式to live作真正的主语。故把living改成live。
3.考查序数词。根据语境可知,此处应该用序数词sixth。the sixth biggest意为“第六大”。故把six改成sixth。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:澳大利亚四面环海,人口约2200万。根据上下文可知,此处应该用surround的过去分词形式surrounded,与逻辑主语Australia形成动宾关系,作伴随状语。故把Surrounding改成Surrounded。
5.考查冠词。句意:澳大利亚四面环海,人口约2200万。a population of意为“……的人口”。故在has后加a。
6.考查形容词。形容词huge在此处修饰名词scale,而hugely是副词,故把hugely改成huge。
7.考查时态。句意:这是一个拥有蓝天和数千平方公里大草原的国家。根据全文时态可知,此处应该用一般现在时态陈述事实。故把measured改成measure。
8.考查介词。句意:这个国家的人口由本国人和许多其他国家的人组成。consist of意为“由……组成”;consist in意为“存在于”。故把in去掉。
9.考查名词复数。句意:这个国家的人口由本国人和许多其他国家的人组成。根据关键词“many other”可知,此处应该用名词复数。故把country改成countries。
10.考查连词。句意:这也是一个袋鼠和考拉的国家。根据句意可知,此处与上下文是顺承关系,不是转折关系,因此用and。故把but改成and。

One of the most efficient ways to promote peace and jump-start flagging economies is to empower girls and invest in their education. Today, girls’ lack of access to basic education is compounded when it comes to the use of digital technology, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is ever more digital, those who lack basic Internet skills will find it increasingly more difficult to participate in the formal economy, to obtain a quality education, to access health care, information and psychosocial support, to have their voices heard.
Since 2013 the global gender gap in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. Worse yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less likely than men and boys to have access to the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most common means of Internet access there. This digital divide is increasing, and should it continue at the present pace, it is projected that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack internet access and digital skills.
There are many causes for the digital gender gap. They include girls’ exclusion from basic education writ large, from specific technology education and design, high costs of both devices and Internet access, scarcity of content relevant for women and girls, and socio-cultural biases and discrimination, such as barriers to women speaking freely and privately both online and offline. Indeed, one of the most insidious reasons why girls may be discouraged from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one: that girls are simply not good at using technology.
The United Nations has affirmed that human rights online are human rights offline. These stereotypes reinforce harmful norms that keep women and girls from enjoying their human rights.
According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development, an independent, non-profit and non-governmental research organization, the gender digital divide is a major roadblock to women’s economic empowerment and participation in the economy. Without a major increase of policy effort and investment, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, worsening gender inequality.
In the words of USAID Senior Gender Coordinator Michelle Bekkering, a girl’s future should be defined not by her sex, but by her commitment to hard work and ability to access the resources she needs to succeed.
