2.2 Passage TwoBy midday, the small party of boys, led by their schoolmaster, had reached a height of 2500 feet. At this point the party had to stop climbing because one of the boys became seriously ill. The only thing the master could do was to return to the mountain camp (营地) where they had spent the night. From there, he telephoned the police. As no rescue party (救援队) could reach the boy quickly enough, the Royal Air Force Rescue Center sent a helicopter (直升飞机) with a policeman and a doctor on board. The helicopter soon arrived on the scene, but the sides of the mountain were so steep that it could not land. A helicopter usually lands on four wheels, but it can land on two. However, the slope was too steep (陡峭的) even for that. The pilot, therefore, kept the helicopter in the air with only one wheel touching the mountainside while the party carried the boy on board.2.2.2 A boy was ill ( ).A. when the team started climbingB. when the team reached the top of the mountainC. when they reached a height of 2500 feetD. when they returned to their mountain camp

题目解答

答案

C. when they reached a height of 2500 feet

解析

本题考查学生对文章时间顺序的理解能力，需要根据关键句确定事件发生的准确时间点。解题核心在于抓住文中描述事件发生的顺序，重点关注时间状语的位置。文章第一段明确提到男孩生病的时间点是在团队到达2500英尺高度后，而非其他选项中的时间。

选项分析

关键句：

By midday, the small party of boys... had reached a height of 2500 feet. At this point the party had to stop climbing because one of the boys became seriously ill.

  1. 选项C（当他们到达2500英尺高度时）：
    • “At this point”直接指代前文提到的“had reached a height of 2500 feet”，说明男孩是在到达该高度后生病。
  2. 其他选项排除：
    • 选项A（团队开始爬山时）：文章未提及爬山开始时有生病情况。
    • 选项B（到达山顶时）：文中未明确提到团队到达山顶，仅提到“2500英尺高度”。
    • 选项D（返回营地时）：生病导致团队返回营地，因此生病发生在返回前。
