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".
【C10】
选项 A、preceding
B、subsequent
C、successive
D、following
答案D
解析 following。本题考查形容词辨析。四个选项分别为A项preceding“之前的”；B项subsequent“随后的”；C项successive“连续的”；D项following“随后的”。该题需要理解上下句的大意。上一句指出，研究人员查找孕妇在生孩子前几个月出车祸的记录；接着指出，他们查看了怀孕前三年和生孩子一年________这些女性去医院就诊的记录。通过两个句子的大意，我们知道研究人员是在对比孕期和非孕期女性出车祸的概率，由于该空前面出现的and一词提示并列，故and前后信息一致，都指非孕期，即怀孕之前和生育之后。该空应表示“之后”的含义。答案在B项和D项之间；只有following能与空格后的内容搭配，为现在分词短语作为后置定语；而subsequent作为形容词，只能置于名词之前。故本题答案为D项。
