Question

 Mr. Wang made up his mind to devote all he could _______ his oral English before going abroad.

A. improve                                                      B. to improve

C. improving                                                    D. to improving

Answer 1

解析：選D。句意: 王先生下定決心出國前把能夠投入的都投入到提高英語口語中。devote. . . to. . . “把……投入到……中”，to為介詞, 后跟動名詞作賓語。all作devote的賓語, he could是它的定語從句, 從句的謂語動詞也為devote，與前面重復(fù), 所以省略了。

獨具【易錯解讀】此題易錯選A, 是因為做此題時易受情態(tài)動詞后跟動詞原形的思維定勢影響。做此題只要把he could后的動詞還原就很容易判斷答案。

獨具【舉一反三】

Tom will spend all the time he can _______ us with our English.

A. helping                                                        B. to help

C. help                                                            D. helps

解析：選A。句意: 湯姆將花所有他能花的時間幫我們學(xué)英語。此題考查spend time (in)+v. -ing。定語從句he can后省略spend, 將spend還原就很容易判斷答案。
