The survey __22__ indicated that 45 percent of the school children read at least five books every month; 23 45 percent of them read less than three per month.
答案:(B) another
another 在此指「另外的 45%」,用來承接前面剛提過的 45 percent:另有四成五的學童每月讀不到三本書;other 是形容詞須接複數名詞,others' 與 the other's 為所有格,都不合。
答對率 36%。
another、other、others、the other 這四個字你背過規則,卻很少練到「接在數字前面」的用法。another 除了「再一個」,也可以放在數詞或數量詞之前,表示「另外的(同樣數量)」:another 45 percent(另外四成五)、another two weeks(再兩個星期)、another 10 dollars(再十塊錢)。「這時 another 後面接複數名詞也沒問題」,因為數量被視為一個整體。
分號前面說 45 percent of the school children read at least five books every month(四成五的學童每月至少讀五本書),分號後面接 ___ 45 percent of them read less than three per month。同樣是 45%、但是不同的一群人——這正是 another 的用法。
other 是形容詞,要說 other students 而不能接數字;others' 與 the other's 是所有格,後面該接名詞,句構不合。
another + 數字 + 名詞(另外的…)、another two weeks(再兩個星期)、one…, another…(一個…另一個…)、the other(兩者中的另一個)。
