2.-What's the matter with Tim?
-Oh,Tim's cellphone was left in a taxi accidentally,never ____ again.
A.to find B.to be found C.finding D.being found

求正确答案和详细解释

Answer 1

1.选A。to和前面的devote构成词组devote all her life to sth 意思是“一生致力于...”
所以可以看出Madam Curie devoted all her life 是定语从句，而这个从句中缺少短语中的介词to, 定语从句的关系代词which/that作宾语，被省略了。
caused是整个主句的谓语动词。主句是：
Unfortunately, the element caused her death.

整个句子的意思是：不幸的是，居里夫人毕生致力于研究的元素导致了她的死亡。

2.选B。
不定式做状语表示出乎意料的结果。
又如：He left home, never to return again.
希望能帮到你~

Answer 2

1. A. to caused

2. B. to be found

Answer 3

1. A devote to 固定搭配 ；主语是element ， caused 是谓语
2。B.to be found 参考：http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/183459864.html

Answer 4

D devote oneself/one's life to sth/doing 致力于，投身于
B

Answer 5

1. A to caused 在这里，to是devoted要求而用于element的，谓语是caused。主句应当是：
the element caused her death.
2. A to find 看起来，好像应当用被动语态to be found，其实这显得累赘、生硬。从语感上讲，还是
to find 更好。
