32. Female sea turtles, before laying her eggs, swim as much as 2,000 kilometers to return to the beaches where they themselves were hatched.

答案是A没错，但有一点疑问，就是那个as much as 为什么不用as many as，后面的kilometers可数啊？谢谢。

much作副词修饰swim。

agree,

"as many as" refers to "have the same number", cant be used to modify "swim"

2,000 kilomiters 并非复数,as much as 修饰的是 2,000 kilometers 非SWIM 例如: 2,000 kilometers is a long distance.

as much as 修饰swim我不太认可，但是说2000 kilometers不是复数又是什么呢？那个例子我也不太明白为什么要用is

as much as不修饰swim放在这里干什么呢？

as ... as ... 结构用在句中引导状语从句。如：

She will arrive as soon as one day. （soon为副词修饰arrive）

He worked as fast as a robat. （fast为副词修饰worked）

2000kilometers看作单数，表示一段距离，所以用as much as. 记住这个题目就好了，类似的托福也就考过这一道。
