12.(2009上海)David threatened __________ his neighbour to the police if the damages were not paid.
A. to be reported B. reporting C. to report D. having reported

答案:C
解析:本题考查非谓语动词。threaten to do sth.意为“以……相威胁,扬言要”,report sb. to (sb.)句意“向(某人)告发/举报某人”。根据句意“David扬言如果邻居不付给他赔偿金,他要向警察告发他们”,应选择不定式担当谓语动词的宾语,故选C。

13.(2008全国I)I like getting up very early in summer. The morning air is so good __________.
