问题      With 950 million people, India ranks second to China among the most populous countries. But since China【1】a family planning program in 1971, India has been closing the gap. Indians have reduced their birth rate but not nearly【2】the Chinese have. If current growth rates continue, India’s population will pass China’s around the year 2028 at about 1.7 billion.
     Should that happen, it won’t be the【3】of the enlightened women of Kerala, a state in southern India.【4】India as a whole adds almost 20 million people a year, Kerala’s population is virtually stable. The reason is no mystery: nearly two-thirds of Kerala women practice birth control, compared with about 40% in the entire nation.

And an educational tradition and matrilineal (母系的) customs in parts of Kerala help girls and boys get equally good schooling. While one in three Indian women is【7】,90% of those in Kerala can read and write.
     Higher literacy rates【8】family planning. "Unlike our parents, we know that we can do more for our children if we have fewer of them," says Laial Cherian, 33, who lives in the village of Kudamaloor.

选项 A、cultural
B、literate
C、native
D、responsible
答案B
解析 本题测试异义形容词。cultural意为“文化的，文化上的”，指与文化有关的；literate意为“有文化的”，指有阅读和写作能力的；native意为“本地的，土生土长的”；responsible意为“可依赖的，负责的”。根据后面的“…90%，of those in Kerala can read and write．(90%的卡洛拉女性能够读、写)”可知，所填之词应该表示“有文化的”，所以应该选用literate。
