C解析测试语言点：名词短语，名词从句与介词的搭配。这句话的意思是：新任首席执行官已经忙得不可开交，还要用仅有的一点点剩余时间与精力处理人事问题。所以，“仅有的一点点”（what little there is）是“他的剩余时间和精力”（his time and energy）的“一部分”（part），故而，what little there is可延长为what little time and energy there is ，也可缩短为the remaining little time and energy或者small part。显然，只要译出一个“的”字，便可确定：选of是对的。这样，此题Although Mr.Atkins, as a new-appointed CEO, is as busy as a bee with such a full timetable, dealing with personnel problems will take what little there is __of_____ his time and energy.可以改写为dealing with personnel problems will take the remaining little time and energy（small part）__of__ my spare time.and energy。of的意思有时等于from ，但是在这里of仅仅表示部分（what little there is）与整体（my spare time）的关系，它的双重词义是：“…的”以及“从…之中夺取”的；因此，of和from二者词义在这里是不同的。至于in 和at，都与本题内容无干。
