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.

The answer was "no".
【C15】
选项 A、instead of
B、in regard to
C、in spite of
D、regardless of
答案D
解析 regardless of。本题考查介词短语辨析。四个选项分别为A项instead of“代替”；B项in regard to“关于”；C项in spite of“尽管”；D项regardless of“无论，不管”。由于后面的or提示并列关系，从上下文我们知道该句体现并列逻辑关系，即填入的词和whether…or…含义相同，whether…or…的意思为“无论，不管”。故本题答案为D项。
