—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

A. the;theB. a;/(答案→)C. the;aD. /;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。

谢谢回答！！！
