单选题 In recent years special attention has been paid ______ developing the students" productive skills.
【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。
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。
