真題演練
Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of
hunting behavior. Viewing biologically, the modern footballer __1__
is revealed as a member of a disguised 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 ___4___
million year evolving as co-operative hunters. Their very survival ___5___
depended on success in the hunting-field. Under this pressure
their whole way of life, even if their bodies, became radicaily ___6___
changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers,
throwers and prey-killers. They cooperate as skillful male-group ___7___
attackers.
Then, about ten thousand years ago, when this immensely ___8___
long formative 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 (把……關(guān)在圈中), ___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 essential for survival. ___10___
參考答案及解析：
1. Viewing -> viewed
本句的主語the modern footballer也就是view的邏輯主語，兩者之間為被動關(guān)系。
2. inaccurate -> accurate
根據(jù)上下文，顯然inaccurate使句意前后矛盾，若目標不正確，就不可能score a goal。故應該把inaccurate改為accurate。
3. enjoys前加he
這是由一個條件狀語從句引導的復合句。但主句只有謂語動詞enjoys，缺少主語，因此要步上主語。根據(jù)從句的his aim可推斷應該加上主語he。
4. up -> / 或 back
表示“看，了解一下”時，只能用look at。
5. year -> years
6. if -> /
even if 表示“即使”，后接分句。本句的大意是說壓力讓人們發(fā)生了變化，一是生活方式，二是身體。此處只能用even“甚至”來引導their bodies，表示遞進。
7. cooperate -> cooperated
事情是our ancient ancestors在過去所從事的，所以要用一般過去時。
8. when -> after
this immensely long formative period of hunting for food是名詞短語，when 后面不能接名詞及其短語作時間狀語，故when使用不當，根據(jù)句子的意思應該改為after。
9.were -> was
本句的主語是 Their improved intelligence，intelligence表示“智力，智能”時是不可數(shù)名詞，謂語動詞要用單數(shù)。
10. farming -> hunting
根據(jù)上下文，這里說的是狩獵。
