    In the study, Tel Aviv University researchers【C2】______ for sex differences throughout the entire human brain.
    And what did they find? Not much. Rather than offer evidence for【C3】______ brains as "male" or "female," research shows that brains fall into a wide range, with most people falling right in the middle.
    Daphna Joel, who led the study, said her research found that while there are some gender-based【C4】______ , many different types of brain can’t always be distinguished by gender.
    While the "average" male and "average" female brains were【C5】______ different, you couldn’t tell it by looking at individual brain scans. Only a small【C6】______ of people had "all-male" or "all-female" characteristics.
    Larry Cahill, an American neuroscientist(神经科学家), said the study is an important addition to a growing body of research questioning【C7】______ beliefs about gender and brain function. But he cautioned against concluding from this study that all brains are the same,【C8】______ of gender.
    "There’s a mountain of evidence【C9】______ the importance of sex influences at all levels of brain function,"he told The Seattle Times.

选项
答案 M
解析 动词辨析题。空格前为名词the study，空格后为从句that…，因此空格处需填入动词作谓语，且为第三人称单数形式。该句意为：此项研究——出性别在大脑功能方面起了很重要的作用——“即使现在我们还并不确定是如何起作用的。”根据句意可知，空格处应为suggests，意思为“暗示，建议”，故M)suggests为答案。备选词语中，只有applied“申请，应用”，不符合句意，故排除。
