[听力原文] A two-day general strike is beginning in Zimbabwe led by Trade Unions angry over low wages and deteriorating economic conditions. Officials of Zimbabwe’s main labor group, the Congress of Trade Unions, say they expect thousands of workers will not go to work to protest wages that have been reduced in value by inflation to a few dollars per month. But they say they are not planning any public demonstrations Tuesday or Wednesday in order to avoid clashes with police. The government has accused the opposition Movement for Democratic Change of being behind the strike and says police will be deployed in major cities to ensure that those who wish to work can do so. The secretary general of one faction of the MDC says Zimbabwe’s economic problems are the reason for the recent political unrest. Wages have been eroded by Zimbabwe’s 1,700 percent annual inflation rate. The economy is also troubled with food shortages, high unemployment and falling production. Political tensions have been heightened since police arrested and beat several dozen opposition leaders who were trying to hold an anti-government rally three weeks ago. 本题考查新闻事件中相关方的行为。新闻开头提到，工人们举行罢工运动以抗议低薪，故选A。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
