They _ themselves to helping the poor. A. spendB. putC. dedicateD. submit
They _ themselves to helping the poor.
- A. spend
- B. put
- C. dedicate
- D. submit
题目解答
答案
C
解析
本题考查动词短语的固定搭配,核心在于识别dedicate oneself to这一结构。题目中空格后接themselves和to helping the poor,需选择能与to构成正确搭配且符合语境的动词。dedicate在此表示“致力于”,是唯一符合语法和语义的选项。
选项分析
A. spend
- 常见搭配:spend time/money on sth或spend time doing sth(如:They spend time helping the poor)。
- 问题:spend后通常不接反身代词themselves,且语境中强调“奉献”而非“花费时间”。
B. put
- 常见搭配:put sth somewhere或put on(如:Put the book on the table)。
- 问题:put oneself to并非固定搭配,且语义不明确。
C. dedicate
- 固定搭配:dedicate oneself to doing sth(如:She dedicated her life to teaching)。
- 语义匹配:表示“全身心投入帮助穷人”,符合题意。
D. submit
- 常见搭配:submit to表示“屈服于”(如:Submit to authority)。
- 问题:语义与“帮助穷人”不符。
