Her lecture was hard to follow because she kept jumping from one subject to _________.

A. other B. the other C. the others D. another

【分析】此题容易死套搭配 one ... the other...而误选B,其实最佳答案为D。使用one...the other ... 时,我们通常是针对两者而言的,即指"两者中的一个......,另一个......";如果所谈论的情况不是针对两者而言的,而是针对多者而言的,那么我们就不宜在 one 后使用 the other,而考虑用 another。又如(答案均选<0.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">。又如D,即选 another)
