Hi  Vladimir  & Lucas,

Thanks a lot for your kindly responses. Actually, I have also tested small 
molecule such as H2CO using present settings and the results obtained by 
CP2K and G09 are quanlitatively in good agreement with each other and THAT 
IS THE FACT THAT PUZZLES ME MOST.

According to your suggestions, I have made several changes to my input 
file, including removal of the periodic conditions, removal of the ADMM 
approximations to avoid possible mistakes, and  lower the convergence in 
G09 since the computational efforts of CP2K is much larger. The basis sets 
are not changed since the TDDFPT in CP2K is implemented only in GPW method, 
which is unable to do calculations with all electron basis sets such as 
Pople basis sets. However, I believe the difference of basis set (DZVP-GTH 
vs. 6-31G*) should not be so large. Unfortunately, the results of CP2K7.1 
is still about 1 eV lower than that obtained in G09 (1.19 and 1.25 eV in 
CP2K vs. 2.18 and 2.26 eV in G09). 

PS. I have also run GAPW calculations in CP2K using the WB97XD/6-31G** and 
the resulted ground state energy are nearly the same as that obtained in 
G09 (differenceless than 0.002 hartree). 

The modified DFT parts of CP2K  input file is attatched also:
