87,The university authorities did not approve the regulation,____________________(也没有解释为什么)
nor did they make any explanation /
nor did they give the reason for doing so
解析:本题考察了两个知识点。① nor的倒装句用法,后半句表示“也不”的否定意义,注意助动词的时态与上半句保持一致;②对某事做出解释的表达,考察了汉译英中动词转名词的技巧,explain → explanation,或者nor did they give the reason for doing so同样可以
