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 population of some 116 million people.
In despite of the steady population flow out from rural areas into urban clusters, nearly 5 million farm households are still in Japan
In spite of the steady population flow out from rural areas into urban clusters, nearly 5 million farm households are still in Japan
Despite the steady population flow from rural areas into urban clusters, Japan’s farm households are still nearly 5 million
Despite the steady population flow from rural areas to urban clusters, there are still nearly 5 million farm households in Japan
In Japan, despite the steady population flow out from rural areas into urban clusters, still there are nearly 5 million farm households
A项 in despite of 错误 且nearly 5 milion farm households are still in Japan表达有问题 这句话可以理解成有接近500W的人仍还在日本（其他人不在了）
B项 同上
C项 Japan's farm households are still nearly 5 million
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.
D项 仍然有近500W的农户在日本 表述清晰
E项 still应该放在动词后面 放句首可以表示nevertheless 和despite冗余
此外，from to是idoim 可以快速选D
考点：
1. in spite of vs. despite
2. from...to...
3. still作为时间指示词，放在be动词之后, there are still...。
两种例外情况：
a. 表示强调时，可以将still置于句首，但常用逗号隔开。
来自牛津词典的一条解释：despite what has just been said （虽然…）还是；但；不过.
The weather was cold and wet. Still, we had a great time.
此时的用法跟but接近，用了despite后面就不能用still了。类似用了although就不能用but一样。
b. 在否定句中同样可以置于句首 = but。
选项E的In Japan放在句首更好，但E选项有两处错误，应排除。
正确的固定搭配是from from A to B，to改成into不正确，flow out from A to B多了一个out是没有必要的
E项
1）still放在there are前面的这种用法不好：这里表达的是【转折】意，而前面已经有despite了，而相反D项的still放在there are后面，表【仍然】意
2）把despite……摘出来前后加逗号，使它成为了non-essential modifier，这是不对的，因为这个部分很重要
注意still的位置， B中强调仍留在日本 D中强调仍然有XX人
尽管后跟的是很多人都出去了，所以此时应该强调人，
做错原因：因为despite接的是句子，直接把CDE排了，然而这里的flow是名词，如果是动词要加s，所以没问题
in spite of 和 despite 是对的（同义），但是没有 in despite of (A错）
D: there are still nearly 5 million farm households in Japan out of a total population of some 116 million people. （正确的对比下）
B : nearly 5 million farm households are still in Japan out of a total population of some 116 million people.
there be巨型互换倒没啥，应该是still的问题吧。
这么一比较好像正确的强调的是《一直有五百万人》这件《事》，流动前后总量还是这么多。 B强调《一直有五百万人》里的《人》，这个《五百万人》流动前后还是那些人（有点不合理感觉）
C： 应该是 households are still nearly 5 million，应该是 households 的 《数量》 是 5 million
E: 动词里 flow out from 可（查了字典），这里是名词 flow from就成，无out。 官方解释是：still要是当时间指示词，得放在必动词后边（like正确答案）
。如果作为类似于nevertheless的词（官方也没说做啥成分，他说something like nevertheless)
，就跟despite重复。
比来比去还是D好（马后炮选手）
from...to...
We have a few key things to focus on here:
1. In despite of / In spite of / Despite (Idioms)
2. into / to (Idioms)
3. how each option ends (Meaning; Construction) --> A/B 选项中suggests that there may be some farm households moved outside of Japan, which isn't what we're talking about - we're talking about people moving from rural to urban areas within Japan.
beV is a linking VERB. so HOUSEHOLD cant be 5 million.
household/= 5M.
CD關鍵在後方修飾語:是 5M vs. total population or households vs. total population?
C 是不是应该说 the number of Japan’s farm households is still nearly 5 million xxxxxx
C项 Japan's farm households are still nearly 5 million
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. 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.
flow from to C错误 语义好难理解 C是日本的农户数500万 D 在日本 500万的农户在这 呵呵我懂了 我果然语文不好
from to对
despite , still 错
难题。。。
ABE都可以排除，因为 flow out from...to..其中out显得多余了
C感觉没有语法错误，但是读起来就是很不爽，Google了一下感觉解释 也不太有说服力，但是D确实读起来要顺很多
附官方解释：
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.
C的错误在于，Japan's farm households is 5 million表述正确，应改为：there are 5 million households或者the number of Japan's households is 5 million 或者 5 million households in Japan 都可以对

population flow表示的的是人口流动，这是一个名词短语
manhattan中idioms章说明只有from...to... 利用这个只有d选项是正确的
介词/介词短语：despite/in spite of + n.
either in spite of or despite is acceptable.
看不懂解释：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.
我是这样理解的，不知道对不对。 a选项 尽管人口流动，5百万农户仍然在日本。感觉就是一直都有不管怎么变化。d就是 尽管人口流动，在日本仍然还有5百万农户。

考察：
前：despite可以加句子，in spite of介词短语后面不能加句子，排除ab
中：flow from a to b；或者flow out from a into b； 排除c
后： there are still，没有still there are的说法，错误用法，排除e
不懂不要误人子弟乱讲
despite不可以加句子。despite是介词
只有despite the fact that, 没有despite that
despite后面是可以加句子的

这里用there be而不直接用japen's的原因是后面未划线部分out of a total population of some 116 million people.根本没有提到japen，因此用population in japan会更好，介宾短语修饰整个比较句子，而japen's涉及不到后面的 total population of some 116 million people，甚至可以理解成世界farm households的total population是116million。
本题的flow out为什么不是单数形式的flows out 呢，主语不是单数的population吗
这里的flow是名词不是动词，population flow (from xxx to xxx) 人口流动
这些鬼老头出题，真是，hhhhhhh
C选项：日本农村家庭是500万？句意不清，错误。

这里的despite怎么能跟句子呢？很奇怪啊
