问题 In despite of the steady population flow out from rural areas into urban clusters, nearly 5 million farm households are still in Japan out of a total populatic n of some 116 million people.
选项 A、In despite of the steady population flow out from rural areas into urban clusters, nearly 5 million farm households are still in Japan
B、In spite of the steady population flow out from rural areas into urban clusters, nearly 5 million farm households are still in Japan
C、Despite the steady population flow from rural areas into urban clusters, Japan’s farm households are still nearly 5 million
D、Despite the steady population flow from rura areas to urban clusters, there are still nearly 5 million farm households in Japan
E、In Japan, despite the steady population flow out from rural areas into urban clusters, still there are nearly 5 million farm households
答案 D
解析 In despite of is idiomatically incorrect; either in spite of ox despite is acceptable. Also, nearly 5 million farm households are still in Japan is stated confusingly; the idea is not that the farm households are leaving Japan itself, but rather that people are leaving rural areas. The sentence would be more appropriately phrased if it said there are still 5 million farm households in Japan.
A    This choice is flawed for the reasons given above.
B    In spite of is correct, but, as in A, nearly 5 million ... are still in fails to convey the intended meaning clearly.
C    Japan’s farm households are still nearly 5 million is confusingly phrased. As worded, it seems to indicate that there are 5 million people on farms in Japan rather than that the number of farm households in Japan is 5 million. The intended meaning would be better conveyed if it said there are still nearly 5 million farm households in Japan.
D    Correct. This choice conveys the intended idea clearly and is grammatically correct.
E    The time indicator still should be placed after the verb are. That is, the appropriate sentence should read there are still nearly... As worded here, still could be read in a way that does not indicate time, but rather means something like nevertheless, which would be redundant, given the earlier occurrence of despite.
The correct answer is D.
