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.

【B2】
选项 A、gap
B、top
C、bit
D、bet
答案A
解析 考查名词辨析。本题的答题线索可以首先确定为close，四个选项中能与close语义场共现即形成搭配关系的只有gap“差距，差异”。此外，从前后文的意思推测，本句要表达的是“自中国于1971年实行计划生育以来，印度正缩小与中国的差距”，close gap恰为“缩小差距”之意．故选A．gap。top“顶端，顶点”，用法为“climb to the top”或“reach the top”; bit“一点，少许”；bet“打赌”，语义与搭配均不符。
