例1、No progress was made in the trade talk as neither side would accept the conditions of ____.

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

答案：B　

[解析]　 根据上文neither的提示可以看出所指的应该是两者中的另外一个，所以用the other。这句的意思是：贸易谈判没有取得进展，因为双方都不愿意接受对方的条件。

例2、Shanghai is really a fascinating city and we've decided to stay for_________ two weeks.　　　　

A. another　　　 B. other　　　 C. the other　 　　D. other's

答案为A。

[解析]　 another意为“又一，再一”，后面如接two, three等数词或few等时，可与复数形式连用，我们可以把two weeks看作一个整体，在原来的基础上再待两星期。而 other，the other用于两者之间的另一个，other's是other的所有格形式，故B、C、D都不可选。

例3、The Parkers bought a new house but_________ will need a lot of work before they can move in.

A. they　　　　 B. it　　　　 C. one　　　　 D. which

答案为B。　

[解析]　 it指代前面提到的单数名词。指同一个事物，此句中指a new house；而one指“同名异物”；which引导定语从句，但题干中有连词but，并非主从句，which不妥；A为复数，更易排除。

例4、In fact ________ is a hard job for the police to keep order in an important football match.

A. this　　　　　 B. that　　　　 C. there　　　　 D. it

答案为D。

[解析]　 it在句子中作形式主语。真正的主语是to keep order in an important football match。由于空格出现在fact的后面，所以一些考生把它当成了同位语从句，而选了that。而实际上，in fact是介词短语作状语，后不能接同位语从句。译文：实际上，在一次重大的足球赛中，对警察来说，维持秩序是一项很难的工作。

例5、Some of the wheat is from Canada. What about ________?

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

答案为D。

[解析]　 wheat是不可数名词，不能用others代替。the rest既可代可数名词，也可代不可数名词，此处指the rest of the wheat。

例6、If this dictionary is not yours, _______ can it be?

A. what else　　　　 B. who else　　　　 C. which elses　　 D. who else’s

答案为D。

[解析]　 考查关系代词所有格的用法。who else“其他什么人”，用于主格，宾格。who else's“其他什么人”，用于所有格。　

例7、One of the sides of the board should be painted yellow, and ________.

A. the other is white　 　B. another white　　

C. the other white　 D. another is white

答案为C。

[解析]　 木板一般只有两面，把一面染成黄色的；另一面染成白色的，考查one…the other结构，由此排除B、D；原句结构为“…the other(should be painted)white，为避免重复可省略。

例8、-He was nearly drowned once.

-When was _______ ?

- _______was in 1998 when he was in middle school.

A. that; It　　　 B. this; This　　　 C. this; It　　　 D. that; This

答案为A。

[解析]　 用that指代上文提到的事，避免了重复；it指代时间。

例9、-Your coffee smells great!

-It's from Mexico. Would you like_________?

A. it　　　　 B. some　　　　 C. this　　　　 D. little

答案为B。

[解析]　 some相当于some of this coffee.

例10、Few pleasures can equal ________ of a cool drink on a hot day.

A. some　　　 B. any　　　　 C. that　　　　 D. those

答案为C。

[解析]　 这句话的意思是“在炎热的夏天几乎没有任何乐趣能和饮一杯冷饮的乐趣相比。”that在句子中代表the pleasure。一些考生只注意到Few pleasures是复数，而没有注意到这里指的是饮一杯冷饮的乐趣，误填了those。注意：使用代词时一定要弄清楚指代关系。
