The bank is reported in the local newspaper ______ in broad daylight yesterday.
A. to be robbed
B. robbed
C. to have been robbed
D. having been robbed
[考点]不定式作主补
[解析]report一词表示“公布,发布,宣告”含义时常接有宾语及宾语补足语的结构,即report sb./sth. to do,其中不定式作宾补。如:The poll reported Labour to be leading.(民意测验显示工党领先。)当report用于被动语态时,原来的宾语变为主语,宾补则变为主补。如题句中的主语是the bank,谓语是is reported,空格处应填入不定式结构作主补。由于不定式表示的动作“抢劫”发生在谓语动作“报道”之前,而且它与其逻辑主语the bank是被动关系,因此这里要用不定式的完成被动式to have been done,故应选择[C]to have been robbed。[句意] 当地报纸报道,昨天这家银行在光天化日之下遭到抢劫。
[补充] 不定式作主补。这类动词有assume, believe, know, report, say, suppose等。如:Mr. Brown is said to have left.(据说布朗先生已经走了。)The house was reported to be in excellent condition.(报告说明这房子的状况极佳。)
