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

【C3】
选项
答案D
解析 动词辨析题。该空前面为介词for，空格后面为名词brains，且brains后面还有as结构。因此空格处需填入动名词形式，并且能够与as构成搭配关系。该句意为“把大脑分为男性和女性两种类别”，categorizing和as搭配，意思为“把……分类为……”，符合句意要求，故D)categorizing为答案。备选项中，首先可以排除过去式形式的applied以及第三人称单数形式的suggests，proving意思为“证明”，不符合文意，故排除。
