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【C4】________pregnancy 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 awake 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、investigate into
C、look into
D、worry about
答案D
解析 worry about。本题考查动词短语辨析。四个选项分别为A项subject to“使……遭受”；B项investigate into“调查”；C项look into“调查”；D项worry about“担心”。第一空填入了but，故第二空的词应与上文的have asked…about the dangers有关系，由于该空前面出现了否定词never，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意义相似。上文中的have asked…about the dangers(询问……的危害)体现出孕妇对此类危害的担忧，与此表达相近的是worry about“担心”。故本题答案为D项。
