问题     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.
We learn that as a result of this latest case ______.
选项 A、eight firemen were sacked
B、thirteen firemen were dismissed
C、eight firemen were promoted
D、thirteen firemen were fired
答案A
解析 做本题时，首先可将B、D排除，因为这次事件的当事人是8人而不是13人。“sack”意为dismiss，即使读者不理解“sack”的意思，仍可根据“promoted”与文意不符，将C排除。
