旧题重来prep-1-26，不明白讨论版的解释

26.  (25911-!-item-!-188;#058&002160)

 

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

 

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

讨论版里说little that是固定句型，这个没有听说过啊google上也搜不到

对于他上面的解释，E我认为说的有理，可是D项，依然不明白there be句型里的that is是做什么成分的

我不知道正确答案是什么，但是我的答案是E不是D，因为上课的时候老师说过有两个单词是不能改的，一个是signficate 还有一个是fair，这两个单词加了ly之后就变意思了，所以要忠于原文，所以我选择E

Have not been here for quite a while and can not rememmber the discussions. Hopefully my two cents would be helpful.

In this sentence,little is a noun and "that is significantly different..."is a subordinate clause which modifies "little".

Actually, "there is little that", rather than "little that",  is used pretty frequently and could be viewed as a fixed expression.

For example,

" There is little that we can do (say, see and so on)"

The sentence you picked is deliberately complicated and thus perhaps a little bit confusing.

Thank you, yulinling. Now I understand the simple example you give to us. The sentence seems lucid.

little that ：momo...这里面little是n.，that同位语从句修饰little...至于说little that是个固定句型，我反对这个说法.

E 中的differece 是可数名词，不能用LITTLE修饰，而且LITTLE前也没有定冠词
具体D的用法，我也不知道，但是我是这样排除E的
