3 said to be的理解难点

Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.

上面一句摘自2021年高考英语全国卷Ⅱ(甲卷)阅读理解D

我对其中的 said to be 不太理解,这个句子好像有两个动词啊,一个是 start,一个是 said,怎么既没有从句也没有连词呢?这是什么结构啊?

said to be 是修饰名词 activities 的过去分词短语(作定语),相当于定语从句 which are said to be… 句意为:大约6岁左右,她们开始避免参加那些为“非常非常聪明”的孩子设计的活动。

又如:

Stormy petrels are a type of small black and white seabird of the N Atlantic and Mediterranean, said to be active before a storm. 海燕是北大西洋及地中海地区的一种小型的有黑有白的小鸟,据称暴风雨前很活跃。

Professor Sykes has asserted that the skeleton, said to be man's first ancestor, is in fact a fake. 赛克斯教授断言,这具据称是人类最早祖先的骸骨实际上是假的。
