【little】
e.g.: Until recently, not much was known about the topic, and little helpwas available to teachers to deal with bullying (C6T3P3 Q30).
解析：本题是单选题，文章里面的little help同样也是隐含否定，和选项D中的a lack of resources是同义转换，所以选D。
【few】
e.g.: Few mortals could stick to that harsh a regimen, especially for yearson end (C6T4P3 Q33).
解析：本题是判断题，通过题干中的信息定位到这句话时，考生们在阅读过程中应该自动把few转换成否定含义的词，如notmany，即可判断出此题的题干就是对于原文的同义转述，因此为true.
【far from...】
e.g.: The Little Ice Age was far from a deep freeze, however, rather anirregular seesaw of rapid climatic shifts, few lasting more than aquarter-century... (C8T2P2 Q20).
解析：本题是summary题，far from表示“远不是”，相当于“notmerely”，因此这句话要强调的部分在however后面，即Little Ice Age是一个气候变化迅速的时代。
【 independent of...】
e.g.: In the face of the frequent and often vivid media coverage, it islikely that children will have formed ideas about rainforests--what and wherethey are; why they are important, what endangers them--independent of any formaltuition ... (C4T1P1 Q2).
解析：本题是判断题，independent of表示“独立于...之外,不受...支配”，所以这句话的意思是孩子们对于热带雨林在接受任何正式教育之前已经有了看法。因此可知本题应该为false。
