句意: 原先對於傳染病(包含smallpox...)科學家認為皆不可能治癒,

          結果自從成功治癒smallpox後, 以前認為不可能治好的病現在都覺得有治癒的希望! 

          所以用 the other infections (不包含smallpox)是錯的!

关于other的用法我还是很有怀疑，我当初就是因为other所以才错选A

因为我觉得既然smallpox已经eradicate了，所以这个结果stimulate experts to pursue的东西一定是不包含smallpox，所以我在最后AC之间徘徊之时，根据逻辑为王的道理，选择了A——而且OG里面也有因为other和逻辑意思而排除别的选项的做法。

所以这道题目一直没有搞懂！期待指点……

dd，有NN帮帮忙解释一下这个other的问题吗？

注意，A选项中是of the other infections。

如果指smallpox之外的其它infections这里应该用of other infections，那个the坚决不能要。

one...the other... the other是指二者之中的另外一个，用在这里结构不完整
