【C12】
选项 A、exposed
B、confined
C、corresponded
D、dedicated
答案D
解析 本题考查动词词义辨析。因为空格所在的句子是在讲菲律宾的父母如何帮助他们的孩子；而本段之后给出了这样一个句子，在讲述孩子如何对待父母：the children are devoted to their parents，who often live nearby。这前后两个句子形成了明显的呼应关系，“be dedicated to”与“be devoted to”表达的意思是一样的，意为“专心于／致力于……的”，因此D选项为正确答案。be exposed to意为“曝光于……”；be confined to意为“局限于……”．be corresponded to意为“对应于……”。
