Indians have reduced their birth rate but not nearly 【C3】______ the Chinese have. If current growth rates continue, India’ s population will 【C4】______ China’s around the year 2028 【C5】______ about 1.7 billion.

    The difference【C10】______the emphasis put on health programs【C11】______birth control by the state authorities, 【C12】______in 1957 became India’s first elected Communist【C13】______. And an educational tradition and matrilineal customs in parts of Kerala help girls and boys get【C14】______good schooling.

"Unlike our parents, we know that we can do more for our children if we have【C17】______of them," says Laila Cherian, 33, who lives in the village of Kudamaloor. She has limited herself【C18】______three children—one below the national【C19】______of four. That kind of restraint will keep Kerala from putting added【C20】______on world food supplies.
【C19】
选项 A、statistics
B、average
C、tendency
D、category
答案B
解析 考查名词辨析。此处是将Kerala妇女Laila Cherian的生育情况与全国的生育情况作对比，据常识可以推断这里的4个孩子应是全国妇女的平均生育值，故选B．average，意思是“平均水平，平均数”。其他选项statistics“统计，统计数字”；tendency“倾向，趋向”；category“种类，类别”，均不符合题意。
