问题     The success of Augustus owed much to the character of Roman theorizing about the state. The Romans did not produce ambitious blueprints 【B1】______ the construction of ideal states, such as【B2】______to the Greeks. With very few exceptions, Roman theorists ignored, or rejected 【B3】______ valueless, intellectual exercises like Plato’ s Republic, in 【B4】______ the relationship of the individual to the state was 【B5】______ out painstakingly without reference to 【B6】______ states or individuals.The closest the Roman came to the Greek model was Cicero’ s De Re Publica, and even here Cicero had Rome clearly in【B7】______. Roman thought about the state was concrete, even when it【B8】______religious and moral concepts.
    The first ruler of Rome, Romulus, was【B9】______to have received authority from the gods, specifically from Jupiter, the "guarantor" of Rome. All constitutional【B10】______was a method of conferring and administering the【B11】______. Very clearly it was believed that only the assembly of the【B12】______, the family heads who formed the original senate,【B13】______the religious character necessary to exercise authority, because its original function was to【B14】______the gods. Being practical as well as exclusive, the senators moved【B15】______to divide the authority, holding that their consuls, or chief officials, would possess it on【B16】______months, and later extending its possession to lower officials.【B17】______the important achievement was to create the idea of continuing【B18】______authority embodied only temporarily in certain upper-class individuals and conferred only【B19】______the mass of the people concurred.

【B9】
选项 A、told
B、held
C、suggested
D、advised
答案B
解析 考查动词辨析。空格所在部分was______为谓语动词的被动式，其主语是The first ruler，不定式结构to have…作主语补足语。文中不定式的完成式to have received表明该动作发生在空格动词动作之前，根据句意，应选择B．held，表示“统治者被认为已经获得了…”。be told to do意为“被命令、吩咐做某事”; be held to be／do意为“被认为是／做…”；suggest不与不定式连用，因此不存在be suggested to do的结构．be advised to do意为“被建议做某事”，均不符合题意。
