好象明白了，第二题C是不是少and啊？第一题还是不明白，题目太白了吗？怎么没人回答？

第一题

that引导同位语从句具体阐述generation的内容排除ABC

如果要用 E 的形式，就要写成 that there is little difference between the underlying mental processes。那个 little of significant differences 这个组合非常不顺，尤其是 differences 用了复数。little 一般不跟 of

至于第二题你抄错题目么了！！==难怪我纳闷...

就是这题吧：

GWD-3-Q34:
Shoppers in sporting goods stores, unlike in department stores, do very little impulse shopping, not buying a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but they leave with a basketball only.
A.  in department stores, do very little impulse shopping, not buying a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but they leave with a basketball only
B.  in department stores, shop impulsively very little; someone who comes in for a basketball will leave with a basketball only and not also buy a pair of skis and a boomerang as well
C.  those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping, do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but leave with only a basketball
D.  those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping; someone who comes in for a basketball will leave with a basketball only and not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang as well
E.  department stores, shop impulsively very little; someone will not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball but will leave with only a basketball

我在这里引用太傻A大的解释：

C 是这样的：Shoppers in sporting goods stores, unlike those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping, do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but leave with only a basketball.  这里的 do very little impulse shopping 内容是原则性的，而后面 do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang . . . 是一个例子，所以性质和前面分句不同。另外，如果看 but 是三个分句的连接，这不是正确的用法。but 只能连接两个成份，连不起三个的。例如不能说 He is kind, generous, but annoying. 原因是因为 but 要和前面的形容成份相反。如果三个成份只有最后一个有连词，通常的意义是在第二个成份那里省略了同一个连词。例如 He is kind, generous, and funny. 就是 He is kind and generous and funny. 可是如果是 He is kind, generous, but annoying.，那就不可能是 He is kind but generous but annoying，因为那个 kind but generous 不对。正是为此，三个成份不能用 but 来连接的。

C 这样是错的。整句非常不妥。这是我的修正：
Shoppers in sporting goods stores, unlike those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping.  For example, they do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball.  Rather, they leave with only a basketball.

MM，语法笔记你是不是没下啊。

第一题 significant differences有歧义，可以是有重要意义的区别或者是有意义的区别

第二题从语法上看是选D，4楼分析很棒，但是我也觉得那个as well不太合适
