　　28.What is true in Paragraph 2 about the rescue team according to the passage?

　　A.It had difficulty in advancing through the heavy fog.

　　B.It saved all but one passenger due to capacity problem.

　　C.It asked the villagers to hold lanterns for them to find more passengers.

　　D.It ordered the exhausted volunteer members to rest on the sand.

　　答案：B

　　[解析]本题是细节题，句子第二段第二句话：Falling exhausted on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more passengers and they had to leave one man behind. Even one more passenger would have surely capsized the rescue boat and all would have been lost. 从这个句子得知，救援船不能再装人了，他们只有留下一个人，如果再装一个人的话，整个救援船就会翻过来。因此本题选B, 意思是：由于容量，除了一人以外，救援船救了所有的人。
