难句解析
mix /mks/ v. 混合
例句：Oil does not mix with water. 油不融于水。
normal /nml/ adj. 正常的
例句：Her temperature is normal. 她的体温正常。
Caretakers at the zoo still think that it is a good idea to cool the giraffes.
动物园的管理员仍认为给长颈鹿降温是个好主意。that引导宾语从句；it is a good idea to do sth.意为“做某事是个好主意”，it是形式主语，真正的主语是to引导的动词不定式短语。
The weather forecast (预报) says that they will go up again next week.
天气预报说下星期气温会回升。that引导宾语从句；go up意为“上升”。
