问题     Over the years, pregnant women have asked Donald Redelmeier, at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital , about the dangers of diving, hot tubs, flying, mountaineering, cycling, bear attacks and all sorts of other exotic risks.【C1】______they never【C2】______road accidents. His new study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal,【C3】______they should.
    Dr. Redelmeier and his colleagues wanted to know if【C4】______makes a woman driver more likely to be【C5】______in a car crash. So they【C6】______data from the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, which records health visits for the Canadian province’s 13m residents. The researchers【C7】______women who, in the months before giving birth,【C8】______a hospital emergency unit after a car accident in which they had been driving. They【C9】______looked at those women’s hospital visits in the three years before becoming pregnant and for one year【C10】______the birth.
    They found that being pregnant made the women 42% more likely to be in a serious car crash. The【C11】______peaked in the fourth month of pregnancy. It seems that being pregnant is about as【C12】______for drivers as having sleep apnoea, which【C13】______people to snore and choke themselves a-wake throughout the night, leaving them【C14】______during the day.
    Women’s driving seemed to be affected【C15】______how rich or poor or old they were, whether their pregnancy was【C16】______or straightforward, or whether they already had children. To【C17】______the possibility that pregnant women simply had an increased【C18】______to seek care—or,【C19】______layman’s terms, were neurotic—they looked at whether they were more likely to go to hospital when involved in crashes that they did not cause,【C20】______they were passengers or pedestrians. The answer was "no" .
【C2】

选项 A、subject to
B、talk about
C、look into
D、worry about

答案D

解析 第一空填入了but,自然而然第二空的词要与上文的ask about the dangers of有关系,由于该空前面出现了never这一否定词,而but又是转折词,因此负负得正,可以推断第二空填入的词应该与上文相同,而不是相反。四个选项的意思分别为:[A]subject to“遭受,使服从”;[B]talk about“讨论”;[C]look into“观察,窥视”;[D]worry about“担心”。显然,能与ask about the dangers of“询问……的危害”相等的是worry about“担心”,故该题答案为[D]。
