---Yes, ______ news came as ______ shock to us.

A.the; /

B.the; a

C./; a

D./; /

解析：本题考查冠词。news前加定冠词the，特指的上面所提及的消息。shock这里指“使人震惊的事”，为可数名词，选B。
本题选B。
{02}George couldn’t remember when he first met Mr. Anderson, but he was sure it was _______ Sunday because everybody was at _________ church.

A.a; /

B.the; /

C./; the

D./; a

解析：考查冠词：第一空填a，泛指“一个星期天”，第二空不填，因为at church是固定短语，“做礼拜”，句意是：乔治记不得第一次遇到安德森是在什么时候，但是能肯定是个星期天，因为每个人都在做礼拜。选A。
本题选A。
