问题     With 950 million people, India ranks second to China among the most populous countries. But since China【C1】______a family planning program in 1971, India has been closing the【C2】______. 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.
    Should that happen, it won’t be the【C6】______of the enlightened women of Kerala, a state in southern India.【C7】______ India as a whole adds almost 20 million people a year, Kerala’s population is virtually【C8】______. The reason is no mystery: nearly two-thirds of Kerala women practice birth control, 【C9】______about 40% in the entire nation.
    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. While one in three Indian women is【C15】______, 90% of those in Kerala can read and write. Higher literacy rates【C16】______family planning. "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.
【C4】
选项 A、shake
B、pass
C、rocket
D、impress
答案B
解析 考查动词辨析。本段一直在将印度人口与中国人口作比较。前面已经分析过，印度对人口出生率虽有控制，但不如中国那么有成效。本句假设的情况是“如果按现在的人口出生率继续增长下去”，结果可能就是印度的人口会在2028年超过中国，故选B．pass“超越，超过”。shake“动摇．颤抖”，与population不搭配；rocket作“飞速上升”时，为不及物动词，如“The price is rocketing”，故排除；impress“留下印象”，与此处语义不符。
