　　有道很恶心的题目，前面半句，but XXX also XXX，

　　前半句划线，我看了半天两个答案中选，一个是没有not only，另一个是XXX did not XXX only，太奇葩了

　　但是赶脚又是递进，but不表示转折啊，童鞋们可以再复习复习知识点。。。

　　【分析】

　　not only… but also…的基本用法见第2题，这里再详细补充一些其使用的例子供参考。

　　关于but also的拆开使用：

　　《新编英语语法》薄冰 P633：Not only does he compose music, but he also plays./ Not only does he have to type out the answer on a computer, but he also gets the computer to translate it into sounds.

　　《新编英语语法》章振邦 P1005：She was not only compelled to stay at home, but she was also forbidden to see her friends.

　　英语语法大全上的例句是: Not only did they break into his office and steal his books, but they also tore up his manuscripts.

　　【以下引自prep08语法笔记，下载请见：http://forum.chasedream.com/thread-366308-1-1.html】所以我个人认为在倒装的情况下, but also 是可以被主语拆开的.

　　这里附上 ring_cheng 的观点: 倒装时可以在短语中插入某类成分，如：not only did sb do sth, but sb also did sth(之所以前后都加入主语，不是为了连接主语，而是为了句子的对仗工整而补足主语，连的其实是主语的两个不同的谓语动作。又因为 not only 在句首已经倒装过了，所以 but also 用正常语序 即可。依然满足句子平衡的要求)。如大全 354 中 but also 被主语+助动词拆开:

　　354. In 1978 a national study found that not only had many contractors licensed by a self-policing private guild failed to pass qualifying exams, they in addition falsified their references.

　　A. they in addition falsified their references

　　B. they had their references falsified in addition

　　C. but they had also falsified their references

　　D. they had also falsified their references

　　E. but their references were falsified as well

　　Key: C
