错题分析:
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
【赏析】此题最佳答案为B。现分析如下:
(1) devote 意为“致力于,献身于”,主要用于 devote…to…或be devoted to,其中的to 是介词,不是不定式符号,故后接动词时要用动名词,不用不定式。
(2) 选A错误:若将 do 改为 doing 则可以。
(3) 选B正确:all her time devoted to doing experiments为独立主格结构,用作状语。
(4) 选C错误:因为all her time 与 devote 为被动关系,故应将devoting改为devoted。
(5) 选D错误:若单独看 All her time is devoted to doing experiments,此句并没有错,但问题是逗号前后两个简单句没有必要的连接方式,所以从整体上看仍不对,假若在后一句的句首加上and或so,则可选D,或将D中的is 改为 being也可以。
