There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only ____ of them are very important.
A、a few
B、a little
C、few
D、little
【正确答案】:A
【题目解析】:them指代languages 为可数名词,因此排除BD,虽然,few of 和a few of 都可以解释成:有一些;但是,few of 虽然是有些些,但是从数量上来说,是接近于“没有”——也就是说,数量上的多少和没有已经相差不大了,而a few of 也解释成“有一些”,但从数量上来时,和一点没有相比,明显要多得多,句意不是否定,非接近没有,因此A 更符合题意。
