15．A group of women were reportedto have shavedtheir heads in support of a friend diagnosed with breast cancer．（shave）
據報道，一群女性為了支持一位患乳腺癌的朋友，集體剃光頭給她加油打氣．

Answer 1

分析 A group of women were reported to have shaved their heads in support of a friend diagnosed with breast cancer．

解答 一、時態：根據"were reported"結構，可知此句中的事早已經發生，故需用不定式的完成式表示過去發生的動作；
二、句式：可用到句式sb．be reported to do/have done sth…表示"據報道…"，表示發生完的事需用"to have done sth．"．
三、詞匯和短語：一群 a group of，剃頭 shave heads，支持 in support of，患有diagnose with．
四、因此全句翻譯為：A group of women were reported to have shaved their heads in support of a friend diagnosed with breast cancer．
需要注意的是：掌握句式：sb．be reported to do/have done sth…，據報道…．是解答本題的關鍵．

點評 本題考查句式sb be said/reported/thought/believed to do/have done sth…，可以轉換為以下兩種句式：①People say/believe/think …that clause句式②It is/was said/reported/believed/thought/known/considered …+that-clause 意為"據稱/據說/據報道/大家認為/眾所周之/人們認為…"，這一句型中it 是形式主語，后面的that 從句是真正的主語．
