选择题
When _______how a statue from distant Greece could have appeared in China, researchers explained that no doubt this was a result of Alexander the Great’s influence.
A.to be asked
B.asking
C.asked
D.being asked
答案
答案:C
题目分析:句意:当被问及来自遥远希腊的塑像怎么会出现在中国时,研究人员解释说,这无疑是亚历山大大帝的影响所致。本句是主从复合句,其中When asked how...是一个省略性状语从句,其完整形式为When they were asked how...当从句的主语和主句的主语一致时,或从句的主谓结构为it is (was)时,连词 when, while, though, if 等常引导省略性状语从句,即省略从句中的主语和be动词,选C。
