24、应该是“有其他人来帮助她”。答案：others9解析：she与give之间为被动关系，故用被动语态，故此处需用过去分词。答案：given10解析：考查名词。名词love与该空为并列关系，所以该空也应该用名词形式，即service。答案：service1add.to. 把加到上2sign v签名；签字3by mistake 错误地；错拿某物4freshman n(中学或大学的)一年级学生；新手5store v贮存He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness.分析how引导宾语从句，it是形式主语，that引导真正的主句。翻译关于有人在他生病的时候还记得他是多么的好，他谈论了很多。
