Tea ceremony, though it is now most popular in Japan, is said_______ in ancient China.
A.to have been originated
B.to be originating
C.to have been originating
D.to have originated
答案:D
题目分析:句意:茶道尽管在日本很流行,据说它是起源于古代的中国。这里是sth be said to do,这里is said用的是现在时,originate发生在is said之前,所以用不定式的完成时,并且tea ceremony与originate之间是主动关系,故选D。
