    Pregnancy-related deaths like Coale’s【C3】______to have risen nationwide over the past decade, nearly tripling in the state with the most careful count-California. And【C4】______they’re very rare--about 550 a year out of 4 million births【C5】______--they’re nowhere near as rare as they should be.

选项 A、hope
B、concept
C、alert
D、program
答案 C
解析 在句子层面考查名词的含义。hope“希望”，concept“意识；概念”，alert“警报”，program“节目；项目”。上文讲到与生育有关的死亡率比政府限定的要高出很多，所以给医院发出的应是“警报”，故选alert。
