Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior.
    Viewing biologically, the modern footballer is revealed as a member of a disguised __1__hunting pack. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football
    and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is inaccurate and he scores a goal, __2__enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey. __3__To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look up at our ancient ancestors. They spent over a million __4__year evolving as co-operative hunters. Their very survival depended on success __5__in the hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of life, even if their __6__bodies, became radically changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers. They co-operate as skillful male-group __7__attackers.
    Then, about ten thousand years ago, when this immensely long formative __8__period of hunting for food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence,
    so vital to their old hunting life, were put to a new use—that of penning, __9__controlling and domesticating their prey. The food was there on the farms,awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of farming were no longer __10__essential for survival.
    答案:
    1 將viewing改為viewed。非謂語動詞view和句子的主語是邏輯動賓關(guān)系。
    2 將inaccurate改為accurate。如果真的目標不準確,也就不可能進球了(he scores a goal)。
    3 在enjoys前面加he。由于前面if his aim is accurate and he scores a goal 是條件狀語從句,因此可見這里是主句,主句的主語he是不可以省略的。
    4 將look up at的up省略
    5 將year變?yōu)閺?fù)數(shù)
    6 將if去掉
    7 將co-operate 改為co-operated
    8 將when改為after
    9將were改為was。該謂語動詞的主語是Their improved intelligence,是單數(shù)。
    10 將farming改為hunting??v觀全文,在從事種植業(yè)后,“狩獵”而不是“農(nóng)耕”的危險和不確定性對人們的生存已經(jīng)不再那么重要了。
