问题 How many workers were killed in the methane explosion?
  
(23)A methane explosion at a coal mine in north-west Turkey killed 13 workers—not 17 as earlier reported—Turkish officials have said. They said 18 people were in hospital, with four in critical condition. The blast on Tuesday caused an underground chamber to collapse at a mine 20km(12 miles)outside Dursunbey, in Balikesir province. Some 33 workers were rescued after the explosion, which came two months after a blast at a mine in Bursa killed 19. The mine’s owner said it had buried the miners nearly 820ft(250m)below the surface. Labour Minister Omer Dincer said officials had initially overstated the death toll because four bodies had been counted twice.
    The safety record of Turkey’s coal mining industry lags behind that of most industrial nations, analysts say. The country’s worst mining disaster was in 1992, when 270 miners were killed near the Black Sea port of Zonguldak.

选项 A、Methane explosion in Turkey.
B、Miscounting of the people died in the accident.
C、Terrible working conditions of coal miners.
D、The worst mining disaster in history.

答案A

解析 本题考查对新闻大意的把握。本则新闻一开始就提到土耳其煤矿事故,而且后文一直是围绕这个主题进行报道的。因此A为正确答案。
