More than one billion are (1)_____ around the world, and when asked, their (2)_____ say they love their phones for the safety and convenience (3)_____ provide. People also report that they are (4)_____ in their use of their phones. One opinion survey (5)_____ that "98 percent of Americans say they move away from (6)_____ when talking on a wireless phone in public" (7)_____ "86 percent say they ’never’ or ’rarely’ speak (8)_____ wireless phones" when conducting (9)_____ with clerks or bank tellers.

选项
A、other
B、others
C、the other
D、another
答案
B
解析
本题的考点为近义词的词义辨析。前面提到人们会有礼貌地使用手机,所以在打电话时应该会远离其他人,所以others"他人"符合文意。other"其他的",the other"(两个中的)另一个",another"又一个"都与文章意思不符。
