—It is reported that a school bus fell into a river and 14 pupils were killed in Hunan Province the other day.

—Yes, news came as shock to all of us.

A. the;the

B. a;/

C. the;a

D. /;a

答案：

A. the;the

B. a;/

(答案→)C. the;a

D. /;a

解析：考查冠词的用法。不定冠词a/an表示泛指“一个，某个”；定冠词the表示特指“这个，那个”。答语中的news指上文提到的新闻，属于特指，用the，排除B、D；指“一件令人震惊的事”，用a shock to sb。故选C。
