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" .
【C10】
选项 A、preceding
B、subsequent
C、successive
D、following
答案D
解析 该题需要理解上下旬的大意，上一句指出“研究人员查找孕妇在生孩子前几个月出车祸的几率”；该句接着指出“他们再查找这些女性怀孕前三年和生孩子一年—10一出车祸的几率。”通过两个句子的理解我们知道研究人员是在对比怀孕期和非怀孕期出车祸的概率，由于该空前面出现的and一词提示并列，故and前后信息一致，都指非怀孕期，即怀孕之前，和生育之后。该空应填入“之后”。四个选项的意思分别为：[A]preceding“之前的”；[B]subsequent“随后的”；[C]successive“连续的”；[D]following“随后的”。答案在[B][D]之间；根据搭配只能用following一词。而subsequent只能作为形容词，而不像fol—lowing具备形容词和动词属性。故本题答案为[D]。
