答案与详解

1.答案：as→like
【详细解答】as our prehistoric human ancestors意为“作为人类史前的祖先那样”，但是根据上下文，此处应表达的意思是“像人类史前的祖先那样”，故应该将as改为介词like。

2.答案：supplementing→supplemented 
【详细解答】本句中的分词短语supplementing with animal foods 是定语，修饰 vegetable diet，根据上下文，此处是指“素食被肉食补充”，故应该用过去分词表被动。

3.答案：and→or 
【详细解答】根据上下文，这里的意思只能是三分之二或多于三分之二，所以不能用表示并列关系的and，而应该用表示选择关系的or。

4.答案：in→on 
【详细解答】on average为固定搭配，意为“平均”。

5.答案：as→whereas/while 
【详细解答】根据上下文意思，这两句话表示的是一种对比关系。故应该改用连词whereas或w hile，引出相反或不同的事实。

6.答案：for 
【详细解答】provide是及物动词，可以直接连宾语，不需要任何介词。

7.答案：of
【详细解答】despite是一介词，其后可直接接名词。

8.答案：half∧→that 
【详细解答】在这里加上that，用来指代前面的blood cholesterol levels，句子结构才完整。

9.答案：if→though 
【详细解答】根据上下文，这里的主从句关系不是条件，而是让步关系，即“尽管没有人建议我们回到土著人的生活方式，…”。

10.答案：for ∧→a 
【详细解答】本句中的a healthier diet表示一种更加健康的饮食。冠词a泛指“一种或一类”。
