问题补充：

He is taller than girl in his class.

A. any

B. other

C. any other

D. another

答案：

(答案→)A. any

B. other

C. any other

D. another

解析：此题容易误选C。这是由于思维定势引起的。平时大家都熟悉这样的句子China is larger than any other country in Asia. Shanghai is larger than any other city in China. 于是than any other这个结构在同学们的头脑中已经根根深蒂固了。其实，到底要不要other, 关键是看主语是否也在比较的范围之内；如果在范围之内，就必须用other, 以此来避免与自身进行比较；如果不在范围之内，则不能用other, 因为没有必要把自身排除。这里主语he不属于girl in his class之列，不能用other, 因此正确为A。
