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
C)briefly K)similarities
D)categorizing L)slightly
E)challenges M)suggests
F)figure N)tastes
G)percentage O)traditional
H)proving [br] 【C9】
选项
答案 H
解析 动词辨析题。该空所在句子的主干结构完整，而该空前面为名词evidence，空后为名词the importance，因此空格处需填入动词的分词形式，与后面部分构成非谓语动词短语，作evidence的定语。而evidence的意思为“证据”，和此名词经常搭配的就是动词proving“证明”，故H)proving为答案。备选项中，只有动词的过去式applied和动词的第三人称单数形式的suggests，均不符合句意，故排除。
