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" .
【C11】
选项 A、risk
B、issue
C、harm
D、concern
答案A
解析 该空指的是上文说的孕妇出车祸概率提高了42％这件事，本句说“这个 11 在怀孕第四个月达到顶峰。”四个选项的意思分别是：[A]risk“风险”；[B]issue“问题”；[C]harm“伤害”；[D]concern“问题”。就词义上来讲，issue和concern意思比较接近，可以排除[B][D]。而该句讨论的是孕妇出车祸的概率高，即风险大，用risk一词最合适，故本题最佳答案为[A]。
