do the shopping 与 go shopping 意义是否相同？
do the shopping 与 go shopping 不仅意义不同,而且结构也不同。
do the shopping 意为“购物”“买东西”。其中的 do 是及物动词，动名词 shopping 作它的宾语。在 shopping 之前要有 some, any, the, one's 等限定词，不可说 do shopping:
-
She does the shopping for the old lady who lives next door. 她经常替隔壁的老大娘买东西。
-
I'd like to do some shopping... 我想买点东西……
-
She does her shopping after work. 她下班后到商店去买东西。
类似的用法是很多的: do some reading/cooking/cleaning/washing(读些东西/做饭/打扫卫生/洗些衣服)。
go shopping 意为“去购物”“去买东西”。其中的 go 是不及物动词，现在分词 shopping 是目的状语，故不可说 go the shopping:
-
I'm going shopping this afternoon. 今天下午我要去买东西。
-
She likes to go shopping with her friends. 她喜欢跟朋友们一起去购物。do with

做这道题，必须首先掌握 do with 的意义和用法。do with 在这里作“利用”“处置”解。其中的 do 是个及物动词，要求有一个宾语（what），而 with 是个介词，也要求一个宾语（it）。因此，此题的答案是 C。what to do with it 意为“如何利用它”“如何处置它”。
-
