錯題分析:
All her time _______ experiments, she has no time for sports.
A. devoted to do B. devoted to doing
C. devoting to doing D. is devoted to doing
【賞析】此題最佳答案爲B。現分析如下:
(1) devote 意爲“致力於,獻身於”,主要用於 devote…to…或be devoted to,其中的to 是介詞,不是不定式符號,故後接動詞時要用動名詞,不用不定式。
(2) 選A錯誤:若將 do 改爲 doing 則可以。
(3) 選B正確:all her time devoted to doing experiments爲獨立主格結搆,用作狀語。
(4) 選C錯誤:因爲all her time 與 devote 爲被動關系,故應將devoting改爲devoted。
(5) 選D錯誤:若單獨看 All her time is devoted to doing experiments,此句竝沒有錯,但問題是逗號前後兩個簡單句沒有必要的連接方式,所以從整躰上看仍不對,假若在後一句的句首加上and或so,則可選D,或將D中的is 改爲 being也可以。
