We were shocked to hear the news that ________ two Chinese engineers were shot to death in Pakistan. Worse still, ________ third one died in hospital afterwards.
A．/; a
B．the; the
C．the; a
D．/; the
答案
答案：A
考查冠词的用法。two Chinese engineers是复数形式，不需用冠词；不定冠词和序数词连用，表示“在原来的基础上再多......”。本句的a third意为“又有一个”。故选A。
