选项 A、assign
B、attend
C、devote
D、adapt

答案C

解析 词汇辨析题。该部分中的them指代前面刚刚提及的overseas sales and profits,由此可以判断该部分意为;好的管理者开始专注于海外销售和利润…。由句子前部分中overseas sales and profits take on importance可以自然推出好的管理者们应是积极应对公司国际化,关注海外销售和利润。devote意为"专心于,致力于",通常与介词to搭配使用,介词后要求用名词、动名词或代词。assign意为"分配,指派",如:The hardest work was assigned to the strongest laborers.(最繁重的工作分配给最强壮的劳工)。attend意为"参加,出席",如:Hundreds attended the wedding.(出席婚礼者达几百人)。adapt意为"适应",如:When he moved to Canada,the children adapted to the change very well.(他移居加拿大后孩子们很快就适应了)。
