    考研英语阅读篇章：乌克兰叛军移交MH17黑匣子
    Pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine have handed over two flight-data
recorders from the downed MH17 plane to Malaysian experts.
    乌克兰东部的亲俄派叛军向马来西亚专家移交了失事MH17客机的两个黑匣子。

Grabove in eastern Ukraine
    The handover came hours after the UN Security Council voted
unanimously(全体一致地) to demand immediate international access to the crash
site.
    EU foreign ministers will consider more sanctions against Russia on
Tuesday.
    The Malaysian Airlines passenger jet crashed last Thursday, killing all 298
people on board.
    Western nations say there is growing evidence that flight MH17 was hit by a
Russian-supplied missile fired by rebels, but Russia has suggested Ukrainian
government forces are to blame.
    EU foreign ministers, meeting in Brussels, are thought likely to discuss
expanding the list of Russian officials targeted by sanctions, but have so far
steered clear of targeting whole sectors of the Russian economy.
    Both the EU and the US imposed sanctions on Moscow following its
annexation(合并，附加物) of Crimea and the outbreak of hostilities in eastern
Ukraine.
    'In good condition'
    Experts say the "black boxes" will reveal the exact time of the incident
and the altitude and precise position of the aircraft.
    They should also contain the cockpit voice recorder, which it is hoped will
provide clues as to what the cause of the crash was.
    The head of the Malaysian delegation at the handover in Donetsk told
reporters that the recorders were "in good condition".
    The handover followed talks between the rebel commander and self-styled
Prime Minister of the Donetsk People's Republic Alexander Borodai and the
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, Mr Najib said in statement.
    He also said those talks led to the rebels agreeing to allow the bodies to
be transported to Kharkiv and international investigators to access the
area.
    "In recent days, there were times I wanted to give greater voice to the
anger and grief that the Malaysian people feel and that I feel," he said.
    "But sometimes, we must work quietly in the service of a better
outcome."
