问题     Over the past decade, significant research has demonstrated what many
have known for a long time: women are critical to economical development, (1)______
active civil society, and good governance, especially in developing countries.
Focusing on women is often the best way to reduce birth rates and children (2)______
mortality; improve health, nutrition, and education; stem the spread of
HIV/AIDS; build robust and self-sustaining community organizations; and
encourage grassroots democracy.
    Most like human rights a generation ago, women’s rights were long con- (3)______
sidered too controversial for mainstream foreign policy. For decades, inter
national development agencies skirted gender issues in high patriarchal socie- (4)______
ties. Now, therefore, they increasingly see women’s empowerment as critical (5)______
to their mandate. The Asian Development Bank is promoting gender-sensitive
judicial and police reforms in Pakistan, for example, and the World Bank
supports training for female political candidates in Morocco. The United
States, too, is increasingly embracing women’s rights, as the way not only to (6)______
foster democracy, but also promote development, curb extremism, and fight (7)______
terrorism, all core strategic objectives.
    Women’s status have advanced in many countries: gender gaps in infant (8)______
mortality rates, calorie consumption, school enrollment, literacy levels,
access of health care, and political participation have narrowed steadily. And (9)______
those changes have benefited society at the large, improving living standards, (10)______
increasing social entrepreneurship, and attracting foreign direct investment. [br]
选项
答案 economical—economic
解析 近义词误用。economical意思是“经济的，合算的”，而economic意思是“经济上的”。根据句意“女性对于经济发展是至关重要的”，可知此处应该用economic。
