and more of the hunter-gatherer's calories come from plants. Detailed 3.___

答-案及详解:
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”。
