{01}---I heard that as many as 24 people were killed in the big fire.
---Yes,______news came as______ surprise to us.
A.a; a
B.the; /
C./; a
D.the; a
解析：考查冠词。News是指上文所提到的内容，所以是特指，用the修饰；surprise前用a修饰，表示一件具体的令人吃惊的事。所以选D。
本题选D。
{02}This is my workmate ,Mr. zhou , but he ________ in New York for 10 years.
A.has worked
B.worked
C.is working
D.had worked
解析：试题分析：考查时态：句意：这是我的同事周先生，但是他在纽约工作10年。从第一句话：This is my workmate ,可知周先生现在不在纽约，在纽约的10年是过去的十年，用一般现在时，选B。
考点：考查时态
本题选B。
