With 950 million people, India ranks second to China among the most populous(人口多的)countries. But since China launched a family planning program in 1971, India has been【S1】______the gap. Indians have reduced their birth rate but not nearly as much as the Chinese have. If current growth rates continue, India’s population Will【S2】______China’s around the year 2028 at about 1.7 billion.
Should that happen, it won’t be the【S3】______of the enlightened women of Kerala, a state in southern India. While India as a whole adds almost 20 million people a year, Kerala’s population is virtually【S4】______. The reason is no【S5】______: nearly two thirds of Kerala women practice birth control, compared with about 40% in the entire nation.
The difference lies in the emphasis put on health programs, including birth control, by the state authorities. And an educational tradition and matrilineal(母系的)customs in parts of Kerala help girls and boys get【S6】______good schooling. While one in three Indian women is【S7】______, 90% of those in Kerala can read and write.
Higher literacy rates【S8】______family planning. "Unlike our parents, we know that we can do more for our children if we have fewer of them," says Leila Cherian, 33, who lives in the village of Kudamaloor.

[A] stable [F] flexible [K] foster

[C] educated [H] exceed [M] national
[D] pressure [I] equally [N] advocate
[E] fault [J] general [O] officially [br] 【S1】
选项
答案
G
解析
开篇句指出中国人口最多,印度次之,隐含的意思是两国之间有差距;空格所在句中But语义转折,指出中国于1971年开始实行计划生育,导致的结果肯定是中国人口增加速度在减慢,这样印度就在缩小与中国人口之间的差距,故选[G] closing“缩小”而不是B widening。本题同时提醒大家注意dose/widen与gap的搭配关系,可以与gap搭配的动词还有narrow,bridge等。
