A. to work out B. to working out C. to worked out D. has worked out
【解析】选C。首先devote. . . to. . . 是固定用法we had once. . . time to是定语从句，修饰前面的名词the experiment，而worked out在句中作谓语，它和前面的to没关系。因此选C。 __________ to his research work, the professor spared little time for his family. A. Devoting B. Devoted C. Having devoted D. Being devoted

A. approach B. means C. method D. way
【解析】选A。句意为：目前这里正使用一种新的教语言的方法，并且已被证明对学生很有用。approach和空格后面的介词to构成固定搭配。其他几个选项中的名词和空格后面的介词to不搭配。 8. —Is he a good driver?
