Question

While ______ himself in the newspaper in a cafe , he got his pocket picked.   

A．having buried          B．buried

C．burying          D．to be buried

Answer

C

【解析】

试题分析：考查状语从句中的省略句意：当他在一个咖啡馆埋头看报的时候，他的钱包被偷了。此题适用还原法。原句为：While he was burying himself in the newspaper in a café, he got his pocket picked. 当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，或状语从句的主语是it. 还有状语从句中含有be动词。这时可以把状语从句的主语和be动词一起省略掉，这样使得语言更加简洁明了。故C正确。

考点：考查状语从句中的省略。
