He made up his mind to devote his life _____ pollution ______happily.
A.to prevent; to liveB.to prevent; from living
C.to preventing; to live D.to preventing; from living
C

试题分析:考察固定搭配和不定式用法。本句中含有固定搭配devote…to…致力于,把…花在…之上;其中的to是介词,后面要接动名词的形式。第二空考察的是不定式在句中作目的状语。句意:为了生活的幸福,他下定决心要把他的一生都用在预防污染上。故C正确。
点评:任何一种语言都有大量的固定搭配词组,英语也不例外。那些约定俗成的词组我们必须对其高度重视,认真对待。实质上,这类题属于记忆性的考查,因为固定的搭配必定产生固定的意思,一旦记住了它的搭配和意思,解题就不会困难。在平时的学习中,对于固定用法的积累是非常必要的,在考试中遇到类似题目,拿过来直接用就可以。多阅读文章,从中学习有用的固定用法。不定式做状语是不定式的常规用法。
