9 a) c D" q) Eimport意为“进口，输入”，export意为“出口，输出”。根据本句大意，进出口的对象为发达国家生产的抗菌素，显然只能“出口”到贫困国家。此外，根据介词也可以判断，import常与from搭配，export常与to搭配。( G) Q- Q. N' ^1 ]/ @! p* Y( z

这句话的意思是：结核病在已经绝迹的地方又卷土重来。从句谓语动词发生在主句谓语动词came之后，故用过去完成时。8 v+ f C' ?3 v: K* B3 {

副词constantly并不能作状语表示keep的状态，而是说明宾语number的特征。Keep sth + adj.表示“使...保持..."，故将副词改为形容词，constant作宾语补足语。 |
