问题补充：

The truck ran down the hill, and the driver , according to the local newspaper, to have been killed.

A. was reported

B. was reporting

C. reported

D. had been reported

答案：

(答案→)A. was reported

B. was reporting

C. reported

D. had been reported

解析：考查时态。句意：卡车冲下了山，据报道司机已经死掉了。句子的主语the driver与report之间构成被动的关系，使用被动语态的形式。根据句意说明司机的死亡是在卡车冲到山下以后的事情，故使用过去谁时即可，故A正确。
