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 26 that belief, questioning
whether brains really can be distinguished by gender.
In
the
study,
Tel
Aviv
University
researchers
27
for
sex
differences
throughout the entire human brain
And what did they find? Not much. Rather than offer evidence for 28
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 29 ,many different types of brain can
’
t
always be distinguished by gender.

While
the
“
average
”
male
and
“
average
”
female
brains
were
30different,
you couldn
’
t tell
it
by looking
at individual brain scans. Only a small
31of 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 32
beliefs about gender and brain function. But he cautioned against
concluding from this study that all brains are the same, 33 of gender.
“
There
’
s
a
mountain
of
evidence
34
the
importance
of
sex
influences
at all levels of brain function ,
”
he told The Seattle Times.
If
anything,
he
said,
the
study
35that
gender
plays
a
very
important
role in the brain
—“
even when we are not clear exactly how.
”

It’s
our
guilty
pleasure:
Watching
TV
is
the
most
common
everyday
activity,
after
w
ork
and
sleep,
in
many
parts
of
the
world.
Americans
view
five
hours
of
TV
each
day,
a
nd
while
we
know
that
spending
so
much
time
sitting
（
36
）
can
lead
to
obesity
(
肥胖症
)
and
other
diseases,
researchers
have
now
quantified
just
how
（
37
）

being
a
couch
potato
can
be.


In
an
analysis
of
data
from
eight
large
（
38
）

published
studies,
a
Harvard-led
group
reported
in
the
Journal
of
the
American
Medical
Association
that
for
every
two
hours
per

day
spent
channel
（
39
）
,
the
risk
of
developing
Type
2
diabetes(
糖尿病
)
rose
20%
over

8.5
years,
the
risk
of
heart
disease
increased
15%
over
a
（
40
）
,
and
the
odds
of
dying
prematurely
（
41
）

13%
during
a
seven-year
follow-up.
All
of
these
（
42
）

are
linked
to
a
lack
of
physical
exercise.
But
compared
with
other
sedentary(
久坐的
)
activities,
like
knit
ting,
viewing
TV
may
be
especially
（
43
）

at
promoting
unhealthy
habits.
For
one,
the
sh
eer
number
of
hours
we
pass
watching
TV
dwarfs
the
time
we
spend
on
anything
else.

nd
other
studies
have
found
that
watching
ads
for
beer
and
popcorn
may
make
you
more

likely
to
（
44
）
them.


Even
so,
the
authors
admit
that
they
didn’t
compare
different
sedentary
activities
to
（
45
）

whether
TV
watching
was
linked
to
a
greater
risk
of
diabetes,
heart
disease
or
ear
ly
death
compared
with,
say,
reading.
A)
climbed

B)
consume
C)
decade
D)

E)
effective
F)
harmful
G)
outcomes
H)
passively
I)
previously
J)
resume
K)
suffered
L)
surfing
M)

N)
terminals




O)

twisting
参考答案解析
：

36.
passively

解析：
sitting
passively
被动坐着

从词性判断，
36
题应该 选一个副词来修饰
sitting
这个动名词，而备选项中只有两个副词，
一个是passively
被动地，
一个是
previously
之前，
再根据语义逻辑，
坐着那看电视的行为应
该是一种被动行为，而不存在前后之分。

37.
harmful

解析：
quantified
just
how
harmful
being
a
couch
potato
量化长时间看电视的严重危害

通过分析
how
(
)
being
a
couch
potato
can
be
这句话的句子成分，得出
how
这个副词
之后应该接一个形容词，符合词性条件的备选项，一个是
effective
有效的，一个是
harmful
有害的。根据语义逻辑，长时间看电视是有害的，故选
harmful
。

38.
previously

解析：

previously
published
studies
之前公布的研究

38
题空格处应该填一个副词来 修饰
published
这个词，参考
36
题的解析，备选项中现在只
剩下一个副词就是
previously
，刚好填入此处。

39.
surfing

解析：
spent
channel
surfing
，直接翻译为在频道冲浪，意译为看电视。这里的
channel< br>频
道指代
television
电视；而
“surfing
冲 浪
”
指代
“watching
看
”
，我们经常看到上网常用
surfing
一词，这里运用了仿词，将
“
上网冲浪
”
的
surfing
借过来用来指
“
看电视
“
。以上可以理解为
英语中的委婉表达。

40.
decade

解析：
increased
15%
over
a
decade
10
年增加了
15%
。
40
题 后面出现了一个词并列连词
and
，说明本句存在并列关系。通读此句，
40
题在
over
之后应该填一个表示时间的名词，这
样才能和前文
over

与后文
during
a
seven-year
follow
up
形成并列，
备选项中只有
decade
符合条件。
