24、cool。考查形容詞。look在此是系動(dòng)詞，其后接形容詞作表語(yǔ)。故將coolly改為cool。第三處fve一fifth。考查數(shù)詞。此處表達(dá)的是“我在讀五年級(jí)時(shí)”，應(yīng)用序數(shù)詞。故將five改為fifth。第四處:too-very/so。考查副詞。用副詞too修飾much既不符合英語(yǔ)的慣用表達(dá)法，也不符合本句的意義。此處應(yīng)使用very/soo第五處:high前加in/ato考查介詞。in/at high school是固定短語(yǔ),在此作狀語(yǔ)。第六處:or-and。考查并列連詞。兩個(gè)分句之間為順承關(guān)系,并非選擇關(guān)系，故將or改為and。第七處:They一There。考查there be句型。此處為th

For the past two years, Gordons students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think theyre close to a solution（解決方案）.”We dont g

Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space. 32. What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?The
