单选题
In recent years special attention has been paid ______ developing the students' productive skills. A. over B. to C. on D. in
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查固定短语pay attention to,意为“注意”,其被动语态是attention be paid to…。故选项B为正确答案。 [避错指南] 类似的表达还有place emphasis on sth.(强调);devote efforts to…(投入精力到……),需要注意这些结构的被动形式有两种:一种是emphasis或efforts作主语,即emphasis be placed on sth.或efforts be devoted to sth.;另一种是sth.be devoted efforts to或sth.be placed emphasis on,但前一种更常见。
