We were _____ at the_______ news that he died yesterday. A．shocking; shocking B．shocking ; shocked C．shocked; shocked D．shocked ; shocking

Answer 1

D

试题分析：考察形容词用法。形容词shocked（感到惊讶的）是过去分词转换的形容词，常常用来形容人或者与人有关的事物；shocking（令人惊讶的）是现在分词转换的形容词，常常修饰事物。惊讶：我们都对他整天去世的这个令人惊讶的消息感到很惊讶。故D正确。 点评：由分词转换成的形容词用法是考查较多的内容。过去分词转换的形容词常常用来修饰人或者与人有关的事物如look, appearance；现在分词转换的形容词常常用来修饰事物。这样的形容词经常在句中做表语或者定语修饰名词，也可以在句中构成形容词短语对主句的情况进行说明。
