第一个cell用了复数,第二个cell 却用了单数?
——原因如下:
type of 后面的名词通常用单数,且不带冠词。又如:

This factory has brought out a new type of car. 这家工厂生产了一种新型汽车。
This type of building stands up to the gales very well. 这种建筑很能抗拒大风。
Hawks are a type of bird of prey. 隼是一种食肉猛禽。
kind of 也有类似用法。如:
They don’t care about this kind of thing. 他们对这种事不感兴趣。
Bamboo is not a tree, but a kind of grass. 竹不是一种树,而是一种草。
This kind of fish lives in fresh water. 这种鱼生活在淡水中。
Have you dreamt what kind of person you would be? 你曾梦想过自己要成为什么样的人吗?
This new rose is a development from a very old kind of rose. 这一玫瑰新品种是从一种很老的品种培育出来的。
