prep sc 26求教

The investigations of many psychologists and anthropologists support the generalization of there being little that is a significant difference in the underlying mental processes manifested by people from different cultures.

 

(A) of there being little that is a significant difference

(B) of there being little that is significantly different

(C) of little that is significantly different

(D) that there is little that is significantly different

(E) that there is little of significant differences

答案是d, 不是很明白耶

 E 的确很诡异 问题出在 there is little of diffrences

一个是is 和 differences 的不符合

一个是 little 和differences的不符合

排除一下 倒是可以不考虑AB of there being 一定错吧

CD little that 的问题  little 应该不可以做先行词的

如果可以that 指代的是什么呢?

并且different 后面的介词 应该是from吧

difference后面才是in

唉  这道题 我就这一点想法了~~~~~~

刚刚又想了一下,之前的想法不对。正确答案的两个that 其实都是修饰generalization 的,只不过在前一个从句里面做宾语,在后面一个里面做主语。

这里有一个类似的例子:http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=23&ID=59488&page=2

1)of there being 结构不好, ==》A B 排除

2)generalization of little  ==> 这里要求 little 必须为名词,不好 ==》C 排除。

2)D E 的差别是 different 做名词还是形容词  ==》由前面的 little 知道, different 在这里只能是形容词,否则 little 应该用 few..

==> 答案是D

个人意见,open to discuss....

Generalization 后面所有的都是用来修饰generalization 的,D 项的 that是用来修饰little的.

A项里 little that is A,这个A跟little不配比吧,C项放到句子里面就是generalization of little that is....那就变成了"little" 就是generalization所表达的内容,这不对,generalization 所说的是不同文化背景的人所显示出来的思维过程没有什么不同,得用一从句来表达吧,所以C就排除了。然后E,Hmmm...只有 a little of sth, or little sth, 没有little of sth吧。剩下B 和 D,意思都是一样的,那of there being 和 that there is 哪个更好呢? 当然是 that there is了,那就D了


这道题好奇怪阿。。。

刚刚看OG10th SC 85, 又发现一个 that 跳跃修饰的例子。所以看起来 that 从句并不一定就指向他前面的那个名词啊,还是要从逻辑意思判断。

85. (Out of America's fascination with all things antique) have grown a market ( for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures)( that are bringing
                

back the  chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.)

(A)  things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(B)  things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing

(C)  things that are antiques has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

(D)  antique things have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(E)  antique things has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

Choice B is best. In A and D, have grown does not agree with the singular noun market.
                    

In addition, all of the choices except B use plural verbs after that, thus illogically stating either that bygone styles of furniture and fixtures, or fixtures alone, are reviving the particular pieces mentioned(由于主谓一致使用不当造成的歧义);
                    

it is instead the market for those styles that is bringing back such pieces, as B states.

Furthermore, choices C and E, by using the verb form bring, fail to convey the ongoing nature of the revival properly described by the progressive verb is bringing.

这道题里面的that 从句也不是就指向其前面的名词furniture and fixtures, 而是指向 a market; 这个还是要从that从句的逻辑意思判断出来。。。

但是这道题D项里的that不是跳跃指代阿,如果that是修饰generalization的,那这整个句子是什么意思呢?generalization that there is little and generalization that is significantly different?

The investigations of many psychologists and anthropologists support the generalization  that there is little that is significantly different in the underlying mental processes manifested by people from different cultures.
   

这道题比较晕的地方就是意思上要怎么分析第二个 that 指代什么,也就是第二个分句的主语。

先看LongMan 上 generalization 的意思:

generalization
1
[countable]a statement about all the members of a group that may be true in some or many situations but is not true in every case
You can't make generalizations about what men and women are like. broad/sweeping/gross generalization a sweeping generalization based on speculation
2
[uncountable] the act of making generalizations


  

后面的句子there is little that is significantly different in the underlying mental processes manifested by people from different cultures.    

说 that is .......... 后面的这种状况发生非常少。

我觉得可不可以将它理解为generalization 的同位语?

换个句子  situation that there are many flowers. ==> 一种状况是这里有很多花

==》  situation  = there are many flowers

这里 many 修饰 flowers ; 就像 这个句子里的little 一样; 把 这个句子后面的 that ... 看作一个名词性的被little 修饰的成分。

再来看后面这个从句 that is significantly different in the underlying mental processes manifested by people from different cultures. 

它也是一个generalization 的内容 但是这个和 前面的generalization是一个从属关系;姑且就叫做 generalization A

或者可以这么说:这个
       generalization A
is significantly different in the underlying mental processes manifested by people from different cultures. 

==》 同时 there are little generalization A = generalization

如果说 little 做名词,然后引导后面一个 that 从句,那就是 little is significantly different in the underlying mental processes manifested by people from different cultures.   这个怎么也说不通吧?

个人观点,欢迎拍砖!

the generalization 在这里作为support的宾语,generalization后面的成分起限定的作用
从of的用法来看,这里既不是接直接宾语(eg:tell sb of sth),也不是接间接宾语(eg:request sth of sb); 再说,of后面可以跟句子的吗?查了很多资料,都没发现,其后有跟there be句子的,所以这里排除A B
little 作为名词的意思是:small amount of something,所以这里可以排除它作为名词的可能性,而作为adj放在of后面,不对, C 排除
E中的little不能修饰differences~

再回归到D,偶认为第一个that是同位语从句(即说明它前面名词的内容)的引导词,在这里并没有意思;后面的there is little....是说明那个generalization的,而that是修饰little的定语从句,整句的原意是那个generalization的内容是there is little significant difference in the ......这里在little后面用that从句,是为了强调明显的差别其实是很小的。

不知道理解正确否,欢迎讨论

呵呵,还是老问题, that 做定语修饰 little 的话, little 必须是名词,而且做后面的句子的主语,这样意思合理吗?
