Question

Zhao Benshan，whose overwork ________his health failure last year，is reported to have performed less successfully in the 2010 Spring Festival Gala on CCTV.

   A．submitted to      B．a(chǎn)dmitted to

   C．devoted to        D．contributed to

Answer 1

D　從語境的搭配看，這里用contribute to表示“導(dǎo)致，促成，造成”。其他動詞短語的主要含義：submit to屈服，聽從；admit to承認(做錯了事，犯了罪)；而C項動詞devote是及物動詞，要用devote oneself to或be devoted to表示“將時間、精力等投入到、致力于某事”。
