考点聚焦 真题再现
1. She devoted all her life to medical work for Chinese women and children. (Warming Up)
[考点] devote意为“把……专用于；把……奉献给；专心致力于”，后常接反身代词或表示时间、能源、精力等的名词作宾语，宾语后常接to短语；to为介词，可后接名词，代词或-ing形式。
[真题再现1] Mr. Reed made up his mind to devote all he had to ____ some schools for poor children. (上海2001春)
A. set up
B. setting up
C. have set up
D. having set up
[点拨] 选B。此句的结构是Mr. Reed made up his mind to devote ... to ... ， he had是定语从句，修饰all， to为介词， 后跟-ing形式， 可排除A、C；根据句意“利德先生决定用自己所有的一切为贫困儿童建造几所学校”，说明set up这一动作尚未发生，故应用其-ing形式的一般式而非完成式。
