instead of history when he was in university.
[参考答案] had been studying business

7. The author of the report__________________________(对医院中的问题非常熟悉) because he has been working there for many years.
[参考答案] is well acquainted with the problems in the hospital

8. _____________________(这个女孩接受教育)in an atmosphere of simple living was what her parents wished for.
[参考答案] The girl's being educated

9. He____________________(向顾客让步了) and halved the price.
[参考答案] yielded to his customers
[详细解答] yield to sb.意为“屈服于…,顺从…”,又根据and 后并列谓语的过去式可知翻译部分也应是过去时态。
10. The bank is reported in the local
newspaper________________________(被抢劫)in broad daylight yesterday.
[参考答案] to have been robbed
[详细解答] It is reported that sb.does sth.常用来表示众人的观点,表示“据说,据报道…”的含义。该句型相当于由动词不定式作主语补足语的sb.is repotted to do sth.形式。如果不定式的动作和report 动作同时发生,则用不定式的一般式,如果不定式动作先于report动作发生,则用不定式的完成式。本句中,抢劫的动作发生在报道之前,而且银行是抢劫的受动者,所以用不定式完成时的被动式。
