Answer 1

分析 The soldier gave his life to saving the old man．．

解答 答案：The soldier gave his life to saving the old man．这里是说过去的事情用一般过去时，主语是那个战士the soldier，所给短语give one's life to表示献身于，to是介词后加名词代词或动名词，give的过去式gave，结合主语用his他的，故The soldier gave his life to，挽救某人save sb，这位老人the old man，故答案是The soldier gave his life to saving the old man．．

be/get/become used to 习惯于 devote oneself to献身于；专心于 be devoted to 致力于；忠诚于   get down to 着手做    lead to 导致   object to反对；不喜欢；不赞成 look forward to  盼望    pay attention to  注意   stick to  坚持等
