others其他的人或物，代词；another另一个（指三者或者三者以上中的另一个）；other其他的，形容词修饰名词的复数；the others相当于“the other + 复数可数名词”。根据空格后的名词复数形式可知，空格上应填形容词，故选C。

quick快的；quickly快地；more quickly更快地；most quickly最快地。结合该句中的as...as可知考查同级比较，且谓语动词can run是实义动词，故该空要填一个副词，故选B。
14. 句意：太神奇了！
感叹句的结构：What a/an + 形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语+其它；how+形容词/副词+主语+谓语+其它。观察句子结构可知，本句省略了主语和谓语，主语前是形容词“amazing”，符合“how+形容词/副词+主语+谓语+其它”，故选C。
