World's smallest cat fossil found at ancient human site in China
Passage 1
Archaeologists have unearthed the 1. (tiny) 2. (know) cat fossil at an ancient human site in East China, 3. (identify) as an extinct species of leopard cat. This diminutive feline was 4. tiny that it could 5. (comfortable) fit 6. the palm of one's hand.
The ancient kitten's size was comparable to that 7. the smallest 8. (exist) feline species -- rusty-spotted cat and black-footed cat, much smaller 9. the modern leopard cat.
The researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences unearthed the fossil 10. a cave at the Hualongdong site in East China's Anhui province.
Passage 2
The new species 1. (name) Prionailurus kurteni or P. kurteni, according to 2. study published online in the Annales Zoologici Fennici.
Molecular biology research 3. (support) that the leopard cat, domestic cat and Pallas's cat share a common ancestor; 4. , no fossil evidence had been identified 5. the discovery. 6. (preserve) fossils in the forest habitats 7. leopard cats lived has 8. (prove) to be challenging.
The fossil shows an inclined first molar, providing evidence from the jawbone and 9. (tooth) that support the common ancestry of the three species, according to 10. study.
Passage 3
Chinese 1. (science) have previously discovered 2. (dozen) of human fossils at the site, dating 3. 300,000 years. These are 4. earliest fossils 5. (find) in East Asia 6. terms of the evolutionary process towards Homo sapiens.
"The food scraps of ancient people at Hualongdong site might have lured rats and those small leopard cats 7. well," said Jiangzuo Qigao from the IVPP, the first author of the paper.
"It's unclear 8. these cats constituted part of the Hualongdong cave dwellers' diet, due 9. the 10. (absent) of human butchery marks on the fossil's jawbone," he added.
Passage 4
The 1. (identify) of P. kurteni suggests a potentially high 2. (diverse) of leopard cats 3. prehistorical times, according to the study.
4. (discovery) animal fossils at the Hualongdong site can help shed light on the environment, diet and potential threats faced 5. the ancient people, said Jiangzuo.
Researchers from Swedish Museum of Natural History and Northeast Forestry University in China also participated 6. the study. Discovered in late 1988, the Hualongdong site 7. (yield) 8. (remark) finds during continuous excavations since 2013. Approximately 20 individual ancient human fossils, including a 9. (relative) complete skull, over 400 stone artifacts, numerous bone fragments with evidence of artificial 10. (cut) and chopping, and more than 80 vertebrate fossils have been unearthed at this site.

6. in 7.of 8.existing 9.than 10.from
参考译文1
考古学家在中国东部一处古人类遗址出土了已知最小的猫化石，经鉴定为一种已灭绝的豹猫。这只娇小的猫科动物是如此娇小，它可以舒适地放在一个人的手掌里。
这只古代小猫的体型与现存最小的猫科动物——锈斑猫和黑足猫——相当，比现代的豹猫小得多。
来自中国科学院古脊椎动物与古人类研究所（IVPP）的研究人员在中国东部安徽省华龙洞遗址的一个洞穴中出土了这具化石。
参考答案2
1.was named 2.a 3.supports 4.however 5.before

参考译文2
根据在线发表在《芬兰动物年刊》上的一项研究，这个新物种被命名为Prionailurus kurteni或P. kurteni。
分子生物学研究支持豹猫、家猫和帕拉斯家猫有共同的祖先；然而，在这一发现之前，并没有发现化石证据。在豹猫生活的森林栖息地保存化石被证明是具有挑战性的。
根据这项研究，化石显示出倾斜的第一磨牙，提供了来自颌骨和牙齿的证据，支持这三个物种的共同祖先。
参考答案3
1.scientists 2.dozens 3.back 4.found 5.the
6.in 7.as 8.whether 9.to 10.absence
参考译文3
中国科学家此前在该遗址发现了数十具30万年前的人类化石。这是在东亚发现的最早的智人进化过程化石。
该论文的第一作者，IVPP的江左奇高说：“华龙洞遗址上古人的食物残渣可能也吸引了老鼠和那些小豹猫。”
他补充说：“目前还不清楚这些猫是否构成华龙洞洞穴居民饮食的一部分，因为化石的颚骨上没有人类屠杀的痕迹。”
参考答案4
1.identification 2.diversity 3.during 4.Discovering 5.by
6.in 7.has yielded 8.remarkable 9.relatively 10.cutting
参考译文4
根据这项研究，对P. kurteni的鉴定表明，在史前时期，豹猫可能具有很高的多样性。
江左说，在华龙洞遗址发现动物化石可以帮助人们了解古人面临的环境、饮食和潜在威胁。
瑞典自然历史博物馆和中国东北林业大学的研究人员也参与了这项研究。华龙洞遗址于1988年底被发现，自2013年以来，在持续的挖掘中取得了令人瞩目的发现。在这里出土了大约20块古人类化石，包括一个相对完整的头骨，400多件石器制品，大量有人工切割和切割证据的骨头碎片，以及80多块脊椎动物化石。
