谢振元教授主编《研究生入学考试英语复习指南(1998)》(中国人民大学出版社，p.9)在解答上道题时说：“(B)为正确答案……(C) the others。others前通常不加定冠词。”请问上面的解答正确吗？
上面的解答不准确。others前加不加定冠词是根据表达的需要，并不存在什么“通常”不通常的问题。在下面的句子里，others前均有定冠词(表示其余的人或事)：
-
I shall wait until the others come back. (EED) 我务必等到其余的人返回来。
-
I went swimming while the others played tennis. (ALD) 我去游泳了,其余的人都打网球去了。
-
I can't do the fourth and fifth questions but I've done all the others. 我不会做第四题和第五题,但其余的我都答上了。
由此可见，在上题中之所以不能选(C)，并不是因为 others 不能与定冠词连用，而是因为 the others 不符合句意。
请做下面的英语试题：
- Some people like to stay at home on Sunday, but ____ like to go to the cinema.
A. another B. other C. others D. other one(全国高考)
- I have five colour pencils, one is red, another is blue and ____ are green.
A. other B. others C. the other D. the others
- Helen was much kinder to her youngest child than she was to the others, ____, of course, made the others jealous.
A. who B. that C. what D. which(全国四级,93.6-59)
请分析并改正下句中的错误：
There are many means of transportation. The airplane is one. The others are the train, the automobile, and the horse.
