试题分析：考查devote的用法，devote …to doing sth意思“把…奉献于做某事”，固定词组set up意思“建立”，所以选B，句子意思“他决定把他用用的一切奉献于那些残疾儿童建造学校”，固定词组make up one’s mind 点评：本题不难，知道devote一词用法就可以做出正确选择，考生需要注意这里to是介词，后面跟动名词或名词 即学即练：Busy as the working mother is, she still_____ a lot of time to her children. A. devotes             B. spends           C. offers            D. provides 选A
