　　例题- 大家体会体会
　　Despite there being no fundamental difference in shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia from the ones in other Parts of Northern Europe, archaeological evidence shows that Viking ships were lighter, slimmer, faster, and thus probably more seaworthy than the heavier vessels used by the English at that time.
　　(A) Despite there being no fundamental difference in shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia from the ones (B) Despite no fundamental difference between the shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia from those (C) With shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia not fundamentally different from those (D) With the shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia having no fundamental difference from the ones (E) Although shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia were not fundamentally different from
　　Those
　　句子结构：Although shipbuilding traditions in… were not … different from those in…, archaeological evidence shows that…
　　考点：逻辑表达、习惯用语, Although引导让步状语从句。 逻辑表达，介词 分词的表达方式不及连词引导从句的表达更清晰有效。习惯用语-difference，difference in / different from
　　(A) despite there being表达方式错误，应该用连词，despite是介词;tradition是抽象名词，用ones不恰当。 (B) difference in… from …介词搭配错误。 (C) with结构不如用连词接从句的表达方式更有效。 (D) with … doing不如用连词接从句的表达方式更有效;tradition是抽象名词，用ones不恰当。 (E) 正确，although引导让步状语从句，those指代traditions
　　补充说明:one/ones(语法说明) One/ones 用以避免重复可数名词，在正式谈话或书面语中，不应使用。不能用以取代不可数名词，与抽象可数名词连用也很少见。例如： The Scottish legal system is not the same as the English system. (而不用 as the English one)"
