According to the second paragraph, Fleming accepted the job offered by Kemsley Newspapers _____
A

and had to give up his yearly holiday plan to Jamaica.

B

because he was offered to work in Jamaica every winter.

C

so that he wouldn’t have to look for employment-elsewhere.

D

on condition that he took two months off to Jamaica every year.


参考解析

解析:
根据第二段最后一句“The first week of March saw his return. He accepted his job at Kemsley Newspapers without compromise—this portion of the year would be set aside for Jamaica or he would look elsewhere for employment.”可知,Fleming接受Kemsley Newspapers的工作的条件为破折号后的内容,即“他每年要留出一定的时间去牙买加旅行,否则他将去别的地方求职”,故D项为正确答案。
