Question

A．having compared to

B．comparing to

C．compare to

D．compared to

Answer 1

D

试题分析：句意：宁波的天气在冬天是相当冷的，尤其是当与家乡的天气相比时。When后是省略句，完整的是when it is compared to that in my hometown.当从句的主语与主句的主语一致，并且从句的谓语动词有be时，这时从句的谓语动词be与主语都可省去。故选D。
点评：本题难度适中。为了使话说得简明扼要，英语句子中某个单词、短语甚至从句或主句都可以省去。这种省去句子某些成分而保持句子意思不变的现象，称为省略。它是高中阶段的重要的语法项目，需要考生仔细分析句子结构，来确定省略的内容。
即学即练：If ____ , ice can be turned into water.
A. to heat              B. heating        C. heats           D. heated
解析：D。考查省略句。If heated=" If" the ice is heated。
