单选题 The research is so designed that once ______nothing can be done to change it.

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] so...that...引导结果状语从句,在出at从句中,nothing can be done to change it 是主句,之前为一个once引导的条件状语从句的省略。原句为:Once it (the research) is begun nothing can be done to change it 由于once从句中it is的省略,成了once+过去分词短语作条件状语,其他几项句法不符。故选D。
