____all her life to caring for the poor.Mother Teresa is greatly respected throughout the world. A Having devoted B to devote C Being devoted D Having been devoted 为什么选A? sb be devoted to sth/doing sth 是固定搭配.而A项是现在分词的完成时态,这样一来讲不通啊
其实devote的固定搭配有两个,一个是你说的sb be devoted to sth/doing sth,还有一个是直接用devote...to doing,表“致力于…”,不需要用devote的过去分词形式,选A是因为用现在分词完成时,表示动作发生在主句动词之前,在特蕾莎修女受尊敬之前,她就已经致力于照顾穷人了.所以用现在完成时.因为前句不是完整的句子,动作又是主动发出的,所以用现在分词作状语.
