After the fire , very little ___ in his house. A．kept B．rema

我给些更全的资料给你：（包括few 和a few的）
few,a few,little,a little
虽然都表示“少”,但
（1）few,a few是可数的,little,a little是不可数的.
（2）a few,a little含肯定意味,few,little含否定意味.这里所谓的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”应该这样来理同样是半杯水,口渴者会认为：There is little water in the glass.而不口渴的人则会认为：There is a little water in the glass.
一：
1．few修饰可数名词复数.
2．few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义；a few (= some; several; a small
number of) 含肯定意义.
3． not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = many.
4． 当 few受 every,last,past,next,some,very等词所修饰时,表示肯定意义,few之前不再有冠词.如：
In the last few minutes,he checked up his paper again.
It took us some few days to repair the machine.
They are very few in number.
There were too few of them.
He goes to see his grandma every few weeks.
5． 在非正式文体中很少见,一般用或代替,如：
Only a few people attended the meeting.
另外,little / a little
Little remains to be done about it.(作主语)
A little remains to be done.
Please give me a little.(作宾语)
He knows a little of everything.
There is very / but little time left.(作定语)
Don’t worry; you still have a little time.
1． little修饰不可数名词,表示“量”.
2． little含否定意义(反义词：much)；a little含肯定意义(反义词：none).
3． 在非正式英语中,一般很少用little,常用not much,only a little来代替,如：
We haven’t got much money / time

very a little 用起来有些别扭,所以不属于常用的形式,所以使用规范的,明白不规范的就行了.

C


句意：地震发生后，唐山市几乎没有什么留下来。stay和remain在句子中为不及物动词，没有被动语态，表示“残留、剩下”时，只能用remain，故选C。 
考点: 考查动词时态和词义辨析的用法。

1.few 与 little 作形容词用,都表示“几乎没有”,相当于一个否定词.具体区别：(1) few 后面跟复数可数名词.e.g.few books few students (2) little 后面跟单数不可数名词.e.g.little water little food e.g.He has few friends.他没有几个朋友.They has little money.他们没有什麽钱 2.a few 与 a little 都表示肯定的意思,指“有一点,有一些”.具体区别：(1) a few 后加可数名词复数 （2）a little 后加不可数名词单数.e.g.I'm going to buy a few bananas.I can speak only a little Chinese.3.a little 与 little 也可以用作副词,表示“有点”“稍稍” 表示“很少” e.g.----Can you speak English?----Yes,but only a little.This book is a little more difficult than that one.（ 可修饰形容词比较级） She slept little last night.昨天晚上,她没有怎么睡觉

a little和a few都指的是少量、少许、一点点,表肯定.但前者修饰不可数名词,后者修饰可数名词.
very litttle和very few都表示很少、几乎没有,表否定.同样,前者修饰不可数名词,后者修饰可数名词.

there be句型,故排除A D
there be 句型的主语在后面,本句中是little rain 形容雨要用单数形式,C 是复数形式,不行.
B采用的是完成时态,因为夏天天气怎么样是发生在提问之前,故用完成时
