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.

【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。
