问题 A study of children of divorced parents found that ten years after the parents’ divorce, children who had been under six years of age at the time of the settlement were not preoccupied, nor even very curious, about the reasons that led to their parents’ divorces.
选项 A、not preoccupied, nor even very curious, about the reasons that led to their parents’ divorces
B、not preoccupied with, or even very curious about, the reasons for their parents’ divorce
C、neither preoccupied, nor even very curious, with the reasons that led to their parents divorce
D、neither preoccupied with the reasons that led to their parents’ divorces or even very curious about them
E、neither preoccupied with the reasons that their parents divorced nor even very curious about it
答案 B
解析 The correct idioms are preoccupied with and curious about. In the sentence as it is written, because of the placement of the commas immediately after preoccupied and curious, the preposition about is associated not only with curious, which is idiomatically correct, but also with preoccupied, which is not correct.
Furthermore, not... nor is idiomatically incorrect. The correct forms are neither... nor and not... or.
A    As discussed above, this choice is flawed in its use of "both preoccupied about and not... nor.
B    Correct. This choice is correct. Both preoccupied with and not... or are idiomatically correct.
C    This choice uses the incorrect construction curious with, rather than the correct curious about. On the other hand, its uses of neither. . . nor and preoccupied with are correct.
D    This choice uses the incorrect idiomatic form neither... or.
E    This choice incorrectly uses the singular pronoun it to refer to the plural reasons. On the other hand, its use of preoccupied with, curious about, and neither... nor are all correct.
The correct answer is B.
