一道考察非谓语动词的选择题(高中英语)
It's a shame that Van Gogh only sold one painting before he died in 1890 though_____his whole self to painting.
A.devoted B.devoting
1.答案:B.
2.
1)此题考查状语从句的省略,该语法规定如下:
如果状语从句的主语是it或和主句相同时,且从句的谓语动词以be动词开头,则可以省略此状语从句的主语和be动词.
2)though devoting his whole self to painting
= though (Van Gogh was devoting his whole self to painting)
该从句中含有devote一个固定搭配:devote sth to (doing) sth,意思是“把...奉献于/投入于...”.
3)如果是devoted,则根据短语be devoted to (doing) sth,该从句必须改为:though (devoted) to painting.
即:though devoted to painting
= though (Van Gogh was devoted) to painting.
