Peking Man, the earliest human ancestor that lived in China between roughly 200,000 or 750,000 years ago, was a wood-working and fire-using man. The man unimaginable liked to drill holes into objects for unknown reasons. Later, some new discovery painted a picture of a human ancestor who was many more complicated than previously believed.

Peking Man first discovered in 1923 in a cave near the village of Zhoukoudian, close to Beijing. During World War Two, fossils of Peking Man went missed. Researchers do some lab work including using microscopes to look at artifacts made by Peking Man. Beside, scientists were still trying to determine the details. Finally, the analysis showed that what Peking Man had the interest in clothes and that some tools were used for removing animal skins.

Answer

1. ancestor→ancestors

2. or→and

3. unimaginable→unimaginably

4. discovery→discoveries

5. many→much

6. first前加was

7. missed→missing

8. do→did

9. Beside→Besides

10. Peking前的what去掉

【解析】1. 考查名词单复数。ancestor是可数名词，Peking Man不只一个人，所以ancestor要用复数形式。

2. 考查连词。固定搭配：between…and…（……和……之间），故将or改为and。

3. 考查副词。用副词unimaginablely（难以想象地）作状语，修饰谓语动词liked，故将unimaginable改为unimaginablely。

4. 考查名词。名词discovery（发现）是可数名词，有some修饰，要用复数形式，故将discovery改为discoveries。

5. 考查副词。修饰形容词比较级要用much，故把many改为much。

6. 考查动词。句意：北京人第一次被发现是在1923年。事情发生在过去，表示“被发现”，要用过去时的被动语态，故加was。

7. 考查形容词。系表结构：go missing（丢失了），形容词missing（丢失的）作表语，故将missed改为missing。

8. 考查动词。谓语动词，说的是过去的事情，所以用一般过去时态，故将do改为did。

9. 考查副词。beside作介词表示“在旁边”，而本句表示“此外；而且”，用副词作状语，故将Beside改为Besides。

10. 考查宾语从句。宾语从句中句意完整，不缺成分，故把what去掉。
