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.

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.

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close/widen与gap的搭配关系,可以与gap搭配的动词还有narrow,bridge等。
