Part Ⅲ Reading Section A(卷一)
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 challenges（27）that belief, questioning whether brains really can be distinguished by gender.
In the study, Tel Aviv University researchers searched（28）for sex differences throughout the entire human brain.
And what did they find? Not much. Rather than offer evidence for categorizin（29）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 similarities（30）, many different types of brain can't always be distinguished by gender.
While the "average" male and "average" female brains were slightly（31）different, you couldn't tell it by looking at individual brain scans. Only a small percentage（32）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 traditional（33） beliefs about gender and brain function. But hecautioned against concluding from this study that all brains are the same, regardless（34）of gender.
"There's a mountain of evidence proving（35）the importance of sex influences at all level of brain function," he told The Seattle Times.
If anything, he said, the study suggests（36）that gender plays a very important role in the brain－"even when we are not clear exactly sure how."
