Answer 1

答案：D

句意：我从图书馆借了许多书，但我只读了其中几本，因为我几乎没有时间。

根据句意可知，"读了几本书",尽管少，但毕竟读了，表示肯定意思，且指代可数名词（books)，故第一空用a few,不能用few，因为few表示否定意思；第二空修饰不可数名词(time)，且表示否定意思“没有时间”，故用little。

补充知识：
few+可数名词复数，表示否定意思。“没有几个...,几乎没有...”
a few+可数名词复数，表示肯定意思。“几个...”
little+不可数名词复数，表示否定意思。"几乎没有..."
a little+不可数名词复数，表示肯定意思。“一点儿...,有点儿...”

Answer 2

D. a few; little

B书不能用few

Answer 3

few（否）“几乎没有”“有几个”
