考点: 简洁有效（Rhetorical Construction）
1) 宾语从句强调整体, 谓语+宾语结构只强调宾语 参考17题
(A) of there being代替that同位语从句表达复杂,笨拙并且不符合习惯.
(B) 错误同A选项
(C) 错误同A选项
(D) 正确, 用that同位语从句清楚地解释了generalization的内容
(E) significant differences在这里可以理解为有重要意义的区别,也可以理解为重要的区别,因此不
如significantly表达意思清楚
句子结构: Theinvestigations of…and anthropologists support the generalization that there is…
补充说明:
significant 和 significantly 的区别:前者意思较广泛,有意义重大,重要等意思,而后者则意思明确,只
表示程度很深的意思
还是不懂E选项哪里有问题?没有语法错误?就是表达不清晰？D选项is little that 那个that从句修饰的是哪个名词？怎么理解？

little只能修饰不可数名词，不能够修饰可数名词 differences而要用few来修饰；D难点在于little 作为pronoun用法上相当于noun, the generalization that there is little that is significantly different...

但是你这样补全以后怎么理解这句话呢？
作者: changfengpx 时间: 2017-3-22 19:46
The investigations of many psychologistsand anthropologists support the generalizationthat（there is little （generalization） that is a significant difference in the underlying mentalprocesses manifested by people from different cultures）.support X that+完整句子，第二个that...修饰前面的名词little

你想说的是修饰前面的Little generalization? little不是名词吧
作者: Dreamout 时间: 2017-3-22 19:55
而且按你这么补全，Little修饰的就不是differences而是generalization. E选项依旧没错啊。没有Little of 的单独用法，只有a little of .所以按你这么说，E的little后面还是要补generalization的

纠正前面2楼一点，第一个that引导完整句子（support the generalization that+完整句子），至于后面的部分，准确来说，little应该是pronoun,意思是：很小一部分的XXX，因此that可以直接修饰little

同意！
作者: Dreamout 时间: 2017-3-22 20:03
所以呢？E错在哪里？按你这么补全，Little修饰的就不是differences而是generalization. E选项依旧没错啊。没有Little of 的单独用法，只有a little of .所以按你这么说，E的little后面还是要补generalization的

最后回答你一遍,我已经解释过最简单的理解方向了。
只能从最简单的little修饰不可数，排除掉E，little of differences这个用法是错误的。
D选项，little作为pronoun，用法上类似noun，也就是说后面可以直接加一个that，而且也满足了little that is...的主谓一致。
Little that is...这里句式来说并不常见。面对一个你不会的结构怎么办？GMAT各种各样奇奇怪怪的句式真的太多了。这里只可以用排除法而不是填空题，我做题的时候就会先把这个句式看作是不懂的而不是错误的。
论坛上prep的各种解答已经相当多了，你可以先参考一下前人的回答再上来提问吧。
附上RON对E的解释：
Idiomatic usage. In the phrase 'little of X', the X has to be a singular quantity. If it's plural (like 'differences'), then you have to use few.
There was very little food left over at the end of the party.
There were very few crab cakes left over at the end of the party.

首先， 必须要感谢你回答我的问题。
其次，我现在看的就是PREP 07语法笔记。俗话说的论坛整理解答版。
再次，With all due respects，我依旧质疑你。E的little和D的little是不同的。E的little of X的用法。借鉴剑桥词典用法举例：
little /ˈlɪt.ļ/ US /ˈlɪţ-/
pronoun, noun
We did very little on sunday.
Very little of what he said made any sense to me.
Unfortunately, little of the artist's work has survived.
D、E的little用法都是pronoun。E的little of 用法的little指后面的differences。D的Little指的是前面的generalization。这个你说对了。但是你说得不完整。那么现在，我对D、E的区别有了更深一步的认识。
Thanks.
