选择题
They were very ________ when they heard the ________ news that he would come back in two days.
A．surprising; surprised
B．surprising; surprising
C．surprised; surprising
D．surprised; surprised
答案
答案：C
题目分析：考查形容词辨析。surprised和surprising都是形容词，但用法不同，前者意为“吃惊的”，修饰人；后者意为“令人吃惊的”，修饰的是物。这里的they指的是人，第一空用surprised，排除A、B；第二空修饰news用surprising，排除D，故选C。
