问题 Contrary to popular opinion, the movement toward a service economy is leading neither to lower standards of living, more of an unequal distribution of income, or displacing the physical production goods.

选项 A、leading neither to lower standards of living, more of an unequal distribution of income, or
B、leading neither to lower standards of living nor a more unequal distribution of income, or
C、not leading to either lower standards of living nor to more of an unequal distribution of income, and neither is it
D、not leading to lower standards of living, more of an unequal distribution of income, and it is not
E、not leading to lower standards of living or to a more unequal distribution of income, nor is it

答案E

解析 由句意,可判断划线部分是两个否定含义的短语的并列:即“不会导致生活水平下降或收入分配的更不平均,也不会取代物质产品的生产”。请注意:此句中不仅有“不会”和“也不会”的大并列,同时还有一个小的并列,即“不会”中“生活水平下降”和“收入分配的更加不平均”的小并列。之所以有这样的小并列,是因为这两者之间关系紧密,且相关,均为lead to的宾语。通过对划线部分句意的分析,可看出A中有3个错误:(1)neither和or搭配不当;(2)more of an unequal distribution of income这种表达是错误的,因为此处的more修饰unequal而不是distribution;(3)“生活水平”与“收入分配”之间用逗号连接,不能显示两者的小并列关系。B中neither…or同样搭配不当。C中有either却无对应的or,必错,同时moreof…表达不对。D中more of…表达不对,同A一样,小并列关系没有表示出来。再看E,它修正了前面选项的所有错误:从大结构上看,the movement is not...,nor is it表达了两个否定含义的并列;从小并列上看:中间用or连接,并补出介词to,清楚显现出均为lead to的宾语,构成清晰的小并列关系,不会造成意思上的争议(平行结构的第三点特征)。请注意,最后的E选项用句子与句子的并列取代了原句中动宾结构的并列是因为neither或nor一般都用于句首。
