问题     With 950 million people, India ranks second to China among the most populous countries. But since China 【B1】______ a family planning program in 1971, India has been closing the 【B2】______. Indians have reduced their birth rate but not nearly 【B3】______ the Chinese have. If current growth rates continue, India’ s population will 【B4】______ China’s around the year 2028 【B5】______ about 1.7 billion.
    Should that happen, it won’t be the【B6】______of the enlightened women of Kerala, a state in southern India. 【B7】______ India as a whole adds almost 20 million people a year, Kerala’s population is virtually 【B8】______. The reason is no mystery: nearly two-thirds of Kerala women practice birth control,【B9】______about 40% in the entire nation.
    The difference【B10】______the emphasis put on health programs【B11】______birth control by the state authorities, 【B12】______in 1957 became India’s first elected Communist【B13】______. And an educational tradition and matrilineal customs in parts of Kerala help girls and boys get【B14】______good schooling. While one in three Indian women is【B15】______, 90% of those in Kerala can read and write. Higher literacy rates【B16】______family planning. "Unlike our parents, we know that we can do more for our children if we have【B17】______of them," says Laila Cherian, 33, who lives in the village of Kudamaloor. She has limited herself【B18】______three children—one below the national【B19】______of four. That kind of restraint will keep Kerala from putting added【B20】______on world food supplies.
【B16】
选项 A、foster
B、hamper
C、reform
D、advocate
答案A
解析 考查动词辨析。注意本句中主语Higher literacy rates，与宾语family planning是因果关系，更高的文化水平自然有助于进行人口控制。在四个选项中，可以首先排除hamper“妨碍，牵制”与reform“改革，革新”；advocate“提倡，鼓吹”，虽与foster“培养，鼓励”意思相近，但advocate要以人作为主语，而foster也可以物作主语，故选A．foster。
