参考答案及解析:
6 w5 k5 p" u% p3 m1 \4 Q2 g 1. 将viewing改为viewed( l) |3 b z6 v, ?
非谓语动词view和句子的主语是逻辑动宾关系。
7 }# K& q4 E( p! F) e ]! o 2 .将inaccurate改为accurate8 x9 ~% h7 A$ r9 y1 ?- n) p: }
如果真的目标不准确，也就不可能进球了（he scores a goal）。& x3 H2 u/ H, V3 k1 Q
3 .在enjoys前面加he# o" s& g# q& c8 v: l- y
由于前面if his aim is accurate and he scores a goal 是条件状语从句，因此可见这里是主句，主句的主语he是不可以省略的。
