The time is 9 o’clock and this is Marian Snow with the news.
    The German authorities are sending investigators to discover the cause of the plane crash late yesterday on the island of Tenerife. The plane, a Boeing 737, taking German holiday makers to the island crashed into a hillside as it circled while preparing to land. The plane was carrying 180 passengers. It’s thought there are no survivors. Rescue workers were at the scene.
    The British industrialist James Louis, held by kidnapper in central Africa for the past 8 months, was released unharmed yesterday. The kidnappers had been demanding 1 million pounds for the release of Mr. Louis. The London Bank and their agents who had been negotiating with the kidnappers have not said whether any amount of money has been paid.
    The 500 U. K. motors workers who had been on strike in High Town for the past 3 three weeks went back to work this morning. This follows successful talks between management and union representatives, which resulted in a new agreement on working hour and conditions. A spokesman for the management said they’d hope they could now get back to producing cars, and that they lost lots of money and orders over this dispute.
    And finally the weather. After a cold start, most of the country should be warm and sunny. But towards late afternoon, rain will spread from Scotland to cover most parts by midnight.
Questions 9 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard.
9. What does the news say about the Boeing 737 plane?
10. What happened to British industrialist James Louis?
11. How did the 3-week strike in High Town end?
12. What kind of weather will be expected by midnight in most parts of the country?

选项 A、The management and union representatives reached an agreement.
B、The workers’ pay was raised and their working hours were shortened.
C、The trade union gave up its demand.
D、The workers on strike were all fired.

答案A

解析 根据选项,这是关于罢工方面的新闻。第三条新闻提及罢工问题,罢工致使管理阶层和工会代表开始商谈,在工作时间和条件方面达成一致。所以A)为正确选项。选项B是个干扰项,新闻中并没有提及具体在什么方面达成一致。
