题目内容
12.Unfortunately,the element Madam Curie devoted all her life her death.( )A. | to caused | B. | causing | C. | to be caused | D. | to causing |
分析 不幸的是,居里夫人致力于一生的元素导致了她的死亡.
解答 答案A.
devote one's life to (doing ) sth 是固定短语,意思是"献身于(做)某事".句中Madam Curie devoted all her life to作定语,修饰the element,省略了关系代词that/which,可排除B选项.句子的主干是"the element ______ her death.",主句缺少谓语动词,因为causing是非谓语动词,可排除D.C选项中"be caused"是被动结构,但是根据句意可知,此处没有被动含义,应该使用主动语态,可排除C;再根据语境可知应该使用一般过去时,故答案选A.
点评 本题考查动词短语的辨析.英语中有的词组没有捷径,只有平时加强记忆,要注意区别,记忆的时候不能忽视,这是常见的命题方式.平时要加强记忆,做题时,别忘了要结合上下文句意判断.
