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、force
B、fight
C、假
D、fault
答案D
解析 本题测试异义名词。force意为“力，力量”；fight意为“战斗，奋斗”；false意为“虚假的，虚伪的”，是形容词；fault意为“过错，责任”，指对错误或过失应负的责任。前面句子说“如果这一出生率持续下去的话，印度的人口将超过中国的人口”，本句话说“如果发生这种情况，也不是卡洛拉地区开明的女性的……”，应该是指过错，所以应该选用fault。
