On a mid-September day, British climbers Rachel Kelsey and Jeremy Colenso were climbing in the Swiss Alps.

When they left their base, the weather was good, and they reached the top of the mountain. Snow began to fall, making it difficult to see where they could put their hands and feet on the rock. After several frightening minutes, they found a narrow ledge(巖石架) and climbed on to it, hoping the snow would stop and they could continue to climb down.

“We had to stay awake,” said Rachel, “because it was so cold that we could have died. So we told stories and rubbed our fingers to keep them warm.”

But what could they do? Rachel had brought her mobile phone with her, but all the people she could get in touch with were in London. Still, she sent a text message at 1:30 a.m. to get help. It read: “Need heli rescue off Piz Badile, Switzerland”. At 5:00 a.m., one friend, Avery Cunliffe, got the message. He jumped into action, called the rescue services in Switzerland, and called Rachel to tell her that help was coming.

The weather was too bad for the helicopters to operate, but Avery kept sending text messages to the climbers. “We owe our lives to Avery,” they said when they were back at base.

A. They were both experienced climbers.

B. They decided that they had to get help.

C. They were all asleep, and nothing happened.

D. She sent the same text to five friends in the UK.

E. At about 10:00 p.m. they were lifted off the mountain.

F. The snow did not stop and the temperature dropped to -10℃.

G. But as they started the climb down, a storm struck the mountain.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】F

【3】B

【4】D

【5】E

【解析】

試題分析：

【1】G 根據(jù)上句：他們離開營地時(shí)，天氣是好的。他們到達(dá)了山頂。再根據(jù)下句：天開始下雪。故此空表示轉(zhuǎn)折，G項(xiàng)But as they started the climb down, a storm struck the mountain.（但是當(dāng)他們開始下山時(shí)，一場風(fēng)暴襲擊了大山。）符合語境。

【2】F 根據(jù)下句：我們必須醒著，因?yàn)樘炖湮覀儠?huì)凍死的�？芍�上句要表達(dá)的意思是：雪沒停，溫度下降到零下10度。故選F。

【3】B 根據(jù)下句：But what could they do?（但是他們能做什么呢？）But表示轉(zhuǎn)折，可知上句意思是：他們決定必須求助。故選B。

【4】D 根據(jù)上句：他在凌晨一點(diǎn)半發(fā)了一條求助短信。再根據(jù)空格下句：短信的意思是“需要直升飛機(jī)營救”。他不可能給一個(gè)人發(fā)，所以D項(xiàng)She sent the same text to five friends in the UK.（他給英國的五個(gè)朋友發(fā)了同樣的短信。）符合語境。

【5】E 根據(jù)空格前一句：天氣不好，直升飛機(jī)不好掌控，但是他不停地發(fā)短信。再根據(jù)空格下句：我們感激Avery。故推斷他們已經(jīng)得救。因此E項(xiàng)At about 10:00 p.m. they were lifted off the mountain.（大約晚上十點(diǎn)，他們被從山上抬了下來。）符合語境。
