阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式.
Are boys really better at math than girls? No, that doesn't seem___31___(rely).
That's according to new research by Jessica Cantlon, a professor and neuroscientist of Carnegie Mellon University, and her colleagues.___32___(scientist) looked at young boys' and girls' brains, and found no difference in mathematical ability. Their new paper,___33___(publish) in the journal Science of Learning, suggests that society is to blame___34___the mistaken idea that girls aren't good at numbers.
Cantlon and her colleagues used an MRI machine___35___(examine) 105 kids' brains while the kids watched an educational video.___36___found that the kids' brains showed no major differences during the experiment.
This report___37___(base) on a previous study in 2018,  which looked at the test performance data of 500 boys and girls. The 2018 paper found no difference in their early mathematical ability,___38___(suggest) that boys and girls are equally equipped to reason about mathematics during early childhood.
Cantlon hopes that people will stop being so sexist (性别歧视的) about little girls and calculators."___39___(hope), we can change expectations of___40___children can achieve in mathematics," she says.

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。根据卡内基梅隆大学教授、神经科学家杰西卡•坎特隆和她的同事们的最新研究可知,男孩和女孩的大脑在数学能力上没有差异。他们发表在《科学与学习》杂志上的新论文指出,女孩不擅长数学的错误想法的罪魁祸首是社会。
【31题详解】
考查形容词。根据空前的系动词seem可知应用形容词作表语,rely的形容词是reliable,故填reliable。
【32题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:科学家观察了男孩和女孩的大脑,发现他们的数学能力没有差别。scientist为可数名词。根据上文可知不止一位科学家在进行观察,应用名词复数形式,故填Scientists。
【33题详解】
考查过去分词。动词publish与其逻辑主语Their new paper被动关系,应用过去分词形式作定语,故填published。
【34题详解】
考查介词。句意:认为女孩不擅长数学的错误观念应该归咎于社会。be to blame for"归咎于",故填for。
【35题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:坎特伦和她的同事用核磁共振仪检查了105个孩子的大脑.use…to do sth."用…做某事",本句为动词不定式做目的状语。故填to examine。
【36题详解】
考查代词。根据语境可知此处指代上文的Cantlon and her colleagues应用第三人称复数形式they,故填They。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:本报告基于2018年之前的一项研究。be based on…意为“以…为基础”,可以用一般现在时表示客观情况,也可以用一般过去时表示过去的事情。主语为This report。故填is/was based。
【38题详解】
考查现在分词。动词suggest与其逻辑主语The 2018 paper是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作状语,故填suggesting。
【39题详解】
考查副词。分析句子结构可知,此处修饰后面的句子应用副词形式,故填Hopefully。
【40题详解】
考查宾语从句。根据空前的介词of可知,of之后是宾语从句,动词achieve 缺宾语指物,应用连接代词what,故填what。
