问题 Neither the principal or the teachers had been satisfied with the addition of a crossing guard. They wanted a traffic light installed at the street crossing.
选项 A、Either the principal or the teachers had not been satisfied
B、The principal or the teachers had been satisfied
C、Neither the principal or the teachers were satisfied
D、Neither the principal nor the teachers were satisfied
答案D
解析    (1)画线部分错误分析。
   本题考查neither…nor…的用法以及主语与谓语在数的一致性上的就近原则。原句中neither…nor…的固定搭配连接两个并列的主语，the principal和the teachers，表示“既不……也不……”，因此neither…or…为错误搭配。
   (2)选项分析。
   根据句意，the principal和the teachers对the addition of a crossing guard应当持否定的态度，所以排除选项A。前一句的时态应当与They wanted a traffic light installed at the street crossing一句相同，均为一般过去时，因此排除B选项。选项C搭配错误，只有选项D符合要求。
   【知识拓展】词汇拓展：平行结构。
   ①neither…nor…表示“既不……也不……”，其含义是否定的，可连接任意两个并列的成分。
   e．g．They can neither read nor write，nor can they comprehend such concepts．
   他们不会读，不会写，也理解不了这样的概念。
   ②not only…but also…既……，又……；不仅……，而且……。
   e．g．She not only wrote the text but also selected the illustrations．
   她不仅写了正文部分，而且还挑选了插图。
   ③not…but…不是……而是……。
   e．g．It is not that he lied exactly, but he did tend to exaggerate．
   他不见得是真的说谎，但他的确是有意夸大。
   注：not only…but also…，either…or…，not…but…，neither…nor…等结构在连接两个主语时，都需要遵循就近一致原则，即谓语动词与最邻近的主语保持一致。
