1. A.
   exhibiting
2. B.
   exhibited
3. C.
   was exhibited
4. D.
   being exhibited

Answer 1

B
試題分析：考查狀語從句的省略：句意：思想者，頭埋在手里，右膀子放在左膝蓋上，是在1890年在巴黎展覽的時候得到現(xiàn)在的名字的。當主從句的主語一致的時候，可以省略從句的主語和be動詞，這句話完整的句子是：The Thinker, head in hand, resting his right arm on his left knee, gained its current title when he was exhibited in Paris in 1890.去掉he was，所以選B。
考點：考查狀語從句的省略
點評：當狀語從句的主語與主句的主語一致，且狀語從句中有系動詞be的時候，可以把狀語從句的主語和be動詞一起省略。如果狀語從句中有it is的時候，it is 也可以省略。
