【答】网友这个题目,其实很简单。只要把一个空选对了,一切就OK了。
我教给网友一个非常简单、实用的判断使用other的办法:other作定语,后面的名词若是可数名词,而且是单数时,前面必须加冠词,因为冠词是名词的影子,是针对名词的,跟other本身无关!后面的名词,如果特指就加the,不是特指就加an(an + other = another)。例如:
the other book
another book
the other day
another day
day 是可数名词,而且是单数,根据上面的办法,只有A 是对的,其他都可以排除。根本不用去死记硬背那些other,another 的词组了!
other 如果用作代词,就跟名词一样,直接加冠词,加s 变成复数。例如:
1. the other 特指“另外的那个”
2. another 泛指“另外的一个” (an + other)
3. others 泛指“另外的一些”
4. the others 特指“另外的那些”

▲第一空应填空 the other。the other day 为习语,意思是“几天前”,类似的有,the other night 几天前的一个晚上,the other morning 几天前的一个早上,the other afternoon 几天前的一个下午,等等。如:
He called me just the other day. 他前几天刚给我打过电话。
Betty asked about you the other night. 前几天晚上贝蒂问到你。
The other morning, I saw a deer on our lawn. 几天前的一个早上,我在草坪上看到了一只鹿。
▲第二空填 other than。这里的 other than 也是习语,意思是“除了”“不同于”“而不是”。又如:
You can’t get there other than by swimming. 除了游泳过去,没有别的办法可以到那里。
You can’t get there other than by boat. 除了坐船,你无法去那里。
▲你的句子意思:The other day, they demonstrated us that the chimpanzee can converse with man in ways other than by the tongue.
几天前,他们向我们演示了,黑猩猩可以用口头以外的方式与人交谈。
