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.

【C15】
选项 A、instead of
B、in regard of
C、in spite of
D、regardless of
答案D
解析 本题考查短语理解。四个选项的意思分别为：[A]instead of“代替”；[B]in regardof“关于”；[C]in spite of“尽管”:[D]regardless of“不管，无论”。由于逗号不仅提示停顿，很多时候也提示并列，从上下文我们知道该句逻辑为并列，即填入的词和whether…or…相等，whether…or．．．的意思为“不管”，故[D]为本题答案。
