8. If you want to improve your English
C
skills, ask yourself this question: Do I spend as much time as I can
English every day?
A.speaking; practise
B.to speak; practising
C.speaking; practising
D.to speak; to practise
答案：8. C
解析：
【分析】本题考查英语固定用法，解题分两步：第一步，确定第一个空，修饰skills表示“口语技能”需用动名词speaking作定语；第二步，确定第二个空，根据spend的固定搭配，需用动名词practising，据此排除错误选项。
【解析】1. 第一个空：“口语技能”的正确表达为speaking skills，动名词speaking作定语修饰skills，表类别，故排除B、D（用不定式to speak，不符合）；2. 第二个空：固定搭配“spend time (in) doing sth”意为“花费时间做某事”，此处需用动名词practising，故排除A（用动词原形practise，不符合）；综上，选C。
【答案】C
【知识点】动名词作定语；spend的固定搭配
【点评】本题考查两个基础英语语法点，需准确掌握动名词作定语的用法及spend的常用句型，属于常规基础题。
【难度系数】0.7

【分析】
做汉译英时，先拆解每个句子的核心成分（主语、谓语、宾语等），再匹配对应的英语固定短语和语法结构：1. 先确定“我们有大量时间”的核心结构，“准备这场旅行”用不定式作定语；2. “令我们惊讶的是”是固定短语，注意动作时态用一般过去时；3. “尽快”“这样”对应固定搭配和目的状语从句；4. “专注于”是固定短语，后接动名词，时态用现在进行时；5. 需用比较级结构表达“比其他任何学生都积极”。
【解析】
1. 核心结构：主语We + 谓语have + 宾语plenty of time + 不定式短语作定语to get ready for the trip，组合得We have plenty of time to get ready for the trip；
2. 固定短语To our surprise置于句首，主语the shy girl，谓语用sing的过去式sang，宾语a beautiful song，地点状语at the school party，组合得To our surprise, the shy girl sang a beautiful song at the school party；
3. 祈使句Please finish your homework，“尽快”对应as quickly as possible，so that引导目的状语从句we can go to the park，组合得Please finish your homework as quickly as possible so that we can go to the park；
4. 现在进行时结构：主语The company + is + focusing on（固定搭配，on后接动名词）+ developing new AI products，组合得The company is focusing on developing new AI products；
5. 比较级结构：主语Lucy + joins + school clubs + more actively than any other student in her class，组合得Lucy joins school clubs more actively than any other student in her class。
