题目内容
________ with the size of the whole earth, the biggest ocean does not seem big at all.
| A．Compare | B．When comparing | C．Comparing | D．When compared |
D
解析试题分析：当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致，且状语从句中有系动词be的时候，可以把状语从句的主语和be动词一起省略。如果状语从句中有it is的时候，it is 也可以省略。本句实际上在when后面省略了the biggest ocean is，因为该短语就是后面句子的主语，所以把the biggest ocean is省略了。句义：当最大的海洋和整个地球相比，最大的海洋似乎一点也不大了。根据句义说明本句使用的是被动语态。故D正确。
考点：考察状语从句的省略
