【解析】本文主要讲解了加拿大的医生戴维森·布莱克发现北京周口店洞穴的过程。开始时他的大学认为他的研究具有重要的意义，因而给了他充足的时间去研究，但是后来由于他不顾自己的学生和教育事业，学校便禁止他再去调查的地方，最后能发现周口店人也有很大一部分归功于他的助手。

【1】“Davidson Black was a_____(Canada) doctor”，这里形容布莱克是一名加拿大医生，用形容词表示“加拿大的”，故应该填“Canadian”。

【2】周口店洞穴是一系列的洞穴，所以这里应该填复数形式“caves”。

【3】根据“He was a specialist in the study of bones ______it was his ambition to find and identify bones of early humans.”可知，空格前后是两句成分完整的话而且是并列关系，因此中间只需要填一个连接词“and”。

【4】“His university was aware _____ the significance of his work”，be aware of是固定词组，意为“意识到”，这句话的意思是：他的大学意识到他所做的工作具有十分重要的意义。故填of。

【5】“At first they gave him ample time to do his research, but_____(late)they realized……”意为：开始他们给了他充足的时间去做调查，但是后来他们意识到……，这里空格处作时间状语，later意为“后来；稍后；随后”，故此处应该填later。

【6】career是名词“职业、生涯”的意思，修饰名词的应该是名词或者形容词，这里teach是动词，所以需要把它换成动名词teaching来修饰career，意为“教育生涯”。

【7】“so they forbade him _____(travel) there any more.”，所以他们就禁止他再去那里。forbid sb to do sth意为“禁止某人做某事”，所以应该填to travel。

【8】“It was his assistant, Pei Wenzhong, ___8___made the discovery of ……”分析句子结构，主谓宾不缺，“Pei Wenzhong”作宾语补足语，后面跟一个定语从句修饰，因为先行词是人，关系代词在从句中充当主语，所以这里可以用who或者that。

【9】and连接两个并列成分，因此sharpen的时态与前面的made一致，所以应该用过去时sharpened。

【10】“Davidson Black knew that his success was almost _____(entire) due to his assistant’s systematic hard work.”布莱克的成功几乎全部归功于他的助手的辛苦工作。分析句子的成分，不缺主谓宾，因此空格处应该作状语修饰谓语due to，所以应该填副词entirely。
