38、中的thousands of可知，此處用名詞的復數(shù)形式。 第九處：that改為which?？疾槎ㄕZ從句。定語從句的先行詞為university，關系詞作介詞in的賓語，所以用“in which”引導定語從句。 第十處：aging改為aged。考查形容詞。aged為形容詞，意為“……歲”，符合語境。 6EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F375
