二、阅读理解阅读材料，完成问题 Passage A.

On a cool morning, Mary, Cindy, Mum and I set out on a journey. We walked forward to the woods along a narrow farming road.

After walking for an hour and a half, we came to a lonely field. We climbed onto an ancient stone, about three feet high, and ate our cheese sandwiches.

As we ate contentedly, Mary said, “We have two choices. We can either go back the way we came or follow the map and go through the moors(荒野).” All of us were full and refreshed now, so we opted for the moors.

We packed out things up and set out again. We saw a hill. Slowly we climbed upwards. At last, we reached the top. We rested there for about fifteen minutes. Suddenly we noticed how low the sun was sinking. Then the wind began to blow strongly…

We were worried about what would happen when the sun was completely out of view. We began to run down the hill quickly. All of us felt safe until we saw the road. We began walking once again towards the place called Devon.

At about half past six in the afternoon, we found a small restaurant. As all hungry people would do, we went into the restaurant. The five hours of walking made the food so delicious. Now, as I glanced once more around the table, I saw everybody looked happy.

( )1. It took them ____ to walk to a lonely field.

A. half an hour

B. an hour

C. one and a half hours

D. two hours.
