試題分析：本題是考查狀語(yǔ)從句的省略的問(wèn)題。根據(jù)句意可知，應(yīng)該是被告知的。排除A，當(dāng)狀語(yǔ)從句主語(yǔ)和主句的主語(yǔ)一致，并且狀語(yǔ)從句的有個(gè)be動(dòng)詞時(shí)，可以將狀語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)和be動(dòng)詞同時(shí)省略，故選C。即as told.  they are 可以省略。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題重在理解主語(yǔ)從句中有關(guān)省略的問(wèn)題。不管是時(shí)間、條件還是讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，都從在這個(gè)省略現(xiàn)象，平時(shí)做題的過(guò)重要能一眼識(shí)別出來(lái)。如：When (they were) asked how to study English, they said they learned it by working with a group.
