选项 A、attribute
B、distribute
C、devote
D、attach
答案C
解析 devote此题属于语意搭配题。devote(to)表示“奉献，把……专用于”，如：They devote eachSaturday to the care of homeless people．原句意为：在美国，主要大学每年在体育运动上要投入数百万美元，故选项[C]devote正确。其他选项均可与to连用，但意思不符：[A]attribute(to)表示“归因于”；[B]distribute表示“分配”；[D]attach(to)表示“加于……之上”，如：No blame attaches to him for the accident．全句可译为：几乎所有的主要大学都开展橄榄球、棒球、篮球与曲棍球项目，每年在体育运动上要投入数百万美元。
