问题     Many men and women have long bought into the idea that there are "male" and "female" brains, believing that explains just about every difference between the sexes. A new study【C1】______ that belief, questioning whether brains really can be distinguished by gender.
    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.
    If anything, he said, the study【C10】______ that gender plays a very important role in the brain—"even when we are not clear exactly how. "
A)abnormal I)regardless
B)applied J)searched

D)categorizing L)slightly
E)challenges M)suggests
F)figure N)tastes
G)percentage O)traditional
H)proving [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 O
解析 形容词辨析题。空格前为动词questioning，空格后为名词beliefs，因此空格处需填入形容词，修饰beliefs。根据句意，越来越多的研究正在质疑关于性别和大脑功能的一些理念，既然是新兴的研究质疑的理念，那么必然是传统的理念，故O)traditional“传统的”为答案。备选项中的另一个形容词abnormal意为“不正常的”，性别和大脑之间关系的理念已经是延续多年的观念，因此不可以用abnormal来修饰，故排除。
