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.

【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。
