网考网解析：
[解析] 语义衔接题。本题所选词与后面一句中的earn相互照应。那么，要想有earn“收益，获得”，肯定要先有devote“投入”，故选[C]。其他选项均可与to连用，但不能与文意衔接：attribute(to)意为“归因于”；distribute意为“分配”；[D]attach(to)意为“加于…之上”。 [点拨] devote(to)把…专用(于)；将…奉献给。此处devote其实是invest的近义诩，即，“投资”。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
