A.whether; visiting
B.that; visiting
C.that; being visited
D.if; a visit

8. B

【分析】首先回忆doubt的用法：当doubt前有否定词（如never）时，其后的宾语从句引导词用that，不用表“是否”的whether/if，据此可排除A、D选项；再看be worth的固定搭配：be worth doing是固定用法，用主动形式表被动含义，无需用被动结构，据此排除C选项，最终确定答案。
【解析】1. 宾语从句引导词：动词doubt前有否定词never，此时宾语从句需用that引导，不能用whether或if，因此排除A、D两项；2. 固定搭配：be worth doing是固定搭配，意为“值得做某事”，此处用主动形式表达被动含义，不需要用被动式，因此排除C项；综上，答案为B。
【答案】B
【知识点】宾语从句引导词；固定搭配（be worth doing）
