PP test 2-68 and 2-73

68. Oak trees furnish more timber annually in the United    States than any of other broad-leaved tree and are    second only to conifers in total lumber production.

    

答案是C。但是应该怎么改呢？一直不太清楚any 的用法。字典上说，可以用any book,or any of the books，但是 any books （后面直接接复数）行吗？

    

73. Light from the Sun can penetrate only a few hundred meters below surface    of the ocean.fficeffice" />

68、     我搞不懂为何C错，但是any后面不能直接接复数


73、below the surface of......

shiran

68. any 是任何一种或一个，所以any of 后面可以加单数。


好像应该改成the second only.

68. I checked the answer, it should be B.

真老九

那就明白了，any of应改为any， 因为后面的名词tree用的是单数，所以只能用any，即any other tree；而any of后面必须接复数
