15．A group of women were reportedto have shavedtheir heads in support of a friend diagnosed with breast cancer．（shave）
据报道，一群女性为了支持一位患乳腺癌的朋友，集体剃光头给她加油打气．

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、时态：根据"were reported"结构，可知此句中的事早已经发生，故需用不定式的完成式表示过去发生的动作；
二、句式：可用到句式sb．be reported to do/have done sth…表示"据报道…"，表示发生完的事需用"to have done sth．"．
三、词汇和短语：一群 a group of，剃头 shave heads，支持 in support of，患有diagnose with．
四、因此全句翻译为：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…，据报道…．是解答本题的关键．

点评 本题考查句式sb be said/reported/thought/believed to do/have done sth…，可以转换为以下两种句式：①People say/believe/think …that clause句式②It is/was said/reported/believed/thought/known/considered …+that-clause 意为"据称/据说/据报道/大家认为/众所周之/人们认为…"，这一句型中it 是形式主语，后面的that 从句是真正的主语．
