问题     Over the past decade, significant research has demonstrated what many
have known for a long time: women are critical to economical development,(1)______
active civil society, and good governance, especially in developing countries.
Focusing on women is often the best way to reduce birth rates and children(2)______
mortality; improve health, nutrition, and education; stem the spread of
HIV/AIDS; build robust and self-sustaining community organizations; and
encourage grassroots democracy.
    Most like human rights a generation ago, women’s rights were long(3)______
considered too controversial for mainstream foreign policy. For decades,
international development agencies skirted gender issues in high patriarchal(4)______
societies. Now, therefore, they increasingly see women’s empowerment as(5)______
critical to their mandate. The Asian Development Bank is promoting
gender-sensitive judicial and police reforms in Pakistan, for example, and
the World Bank supports training for female political candidates in Morocco.
The United States, too, is increasingly embracing women’s rights, as the(6)______
way not only to foster democracy, but also promote development, curb(7)______
extremism, and fight terrorism, all core strategic objectives.
    Women’s status have advanced in many countries; gender gaps in infant(8)______
mortality rates, calorie consumption, school enrollment, literacy levels,
access of health care, and political participation have narrowed steadily.(9)______
And those changes have benefited society at the large, improving living(10)______
standards, increasing social entrepreneurship, and attracting foreign direct
investment. [br] (1)
选项
答案 economical→economic
解析 近义词误用。economical意思是“经济的，合算的”，而economic意思是“经济上的”。根据句意“女性对于经济发展是至关重要的”，可知此处应该用economic。
