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.
【B20】
选项 A、increase
B、challenge
C、pressure
D、complaint
答案C
解析 考查固定搭配。此句的谓语结构是keep…from，意思是“使得…不能”。空格处应填的词要说明这种克制(即计划生育)将使得Kerala不会对世界食品供应再施加…。put pressure on意为“对…施加压力”，为固定搭配，因此C．pressure“压力，压迫”，符合语境，为正确选项。increase“增加，增长”，与added矛盾；challenge“挑战”；complaint“抱怨，牢骚”，均与上下文语境不符。
