BL has dismissed eight works firemen alleged to have been asleep at its Land-Rover works at Solihull when two works inspectors paid an unexpected visit to the duty fireroom shortly before dawn on Monday.
All firemen on the night shift, including the officer in charge, are said to have been sleeping in chairs or stretched out on the floor.
This is the second time in recent years that a group of BL employees at Solihull has been dismissed for sleeping on duty. Two and a half years ago, 13 night shift workers there were found asleep.
They had brought sleeping bags, blankets, and built makeshift bunks. But it is understood that no such preparations had been made by the firemen.
The eight were brought before a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday and charged with conduct in breach of their duty. They were summarily dismissed.
All eight have given voice of their intention to appeal under the company’s disputes procedure. The hearing is expected to take place next week with officials of the Transport and General Workers Union representing them.
According to the passage, inspectors paid an unexpected visit to the duty fireroom just______.
选项
A、before the moon rose
B、after the moon set
C、after the sun set
D、before the sun rose
答案
D
解析
本题询问“dawn”的含义。若读者不知道“dawn”的具体意思,仍可以从第二段的关键词“on the night shift”中推理出具体意思。既然这些人是上夜班时睡着的,那么检查发生在日出之前比较合理。
