試題分析：考查倒轉(zhuǎn)句。當(dāng)“so+形容詞/副詞”謂語(yǔ)句首的時(shí)候，后面的句子要使用部分倒裝的形式。D項(xiàng)沒(méi)有使用倒裝句，但是such后面不能接形容詞，副詞只能接名詞或者名詞短語(yǔ)。句意：那對(duì)夫妻對(duì)于野生動(dòng)物是如此好奇以至于他們決定到馬達(dá)加斯加做進(jìn)一步的研究。根據(jù)句意說(shuō)明B正確。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：部分倒裝：
部分倒裝即只把謂語(yǔ)的一部分（如助動(dòng)詞、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞等）放到主語(yǔ)前，或把句子的強(qiáng)調(diào)成分提前。
Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he has always dreamt about（疾病沒(méi)有使他放棄過(guò)上夢(mèng)想中的生活）
1) 以否定詞開(kāi)頭的句子要求部分倒裝。注意下列句子中助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞提前、甚至補(bǔ)充助動(dòng)詞的用法：
例：Not until yesterday did little John change his mind.（小約翰直到昨天才改變了主意。）
In no country other than Britain, it had been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day.（據(jù)說(shuō)除了英國(guó)世界上沒(méi)有哪個(gè)國(guó)家能讓人在一天中感受到四季變化）
2) 以否定副詞開(kāi)頭并加狀語(yǔ)放在句首的句子要求部分倒裝。這些否定副詞有barely, hardly, little, seldom, scarcely…… when, never, no sooner…… than, rarely, no more, not nearly, not only等以及only。
Only in the country can you learn the “true English”.
3）一些如scarcely……when, no sooner ……than, hardly……when引導(dǎo)的主從復(fù)合句主句要求使用過(guò)去完成式。
注意：在部分倒裝句中，只有助動(dòng)詞、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞或連系動(dòng)詞to be可以置于主語(yǔ)之前，其它部分都要置于主語(yǔ)之后。
