Question

Camping has always been the best way I know to be outside. Whether you prefer to be in the woods, mountains, or swimming in the river, camping is wonderful.

Before you just take off and go there are a few things you should know about before you leave. First of all you’ll need your boots, a tent and of course a backpack. The right boots are an important thing that you’ll need. Packs come in all different sizes. For over a week you will need at least a 6,000-inch pack. Your tent should have the main tent, the rain fly(防水布), along with the support(支撑) poles（柱，杆）, and these hold up your tent. You should also bring along a piece of ground cloth. This is a piece of plastic that goes under your tent. It can keep your tent dry and clean from the ground.

During the camping, always remember to keep your things dry and keep them in a zip lock bag. Use fires only when you must. Fires scar the land. If you do use a fire make sure to use it in the fire rings if possible. Keep noise level down. This way you’ll have more of a chance to see wildlife. Always remember that hiking is depending on your personal health. Never be afraid to ask your hiking partners to stop for a break. It’s important.

Finally, keep your camera close by. Make sure you don’t miss out on the natural wonders. You’ll enjoy them later. It’s simply great fun to go on camping!

【解析】

1.细节理解题。根据短文的开头Camping has always been the best way I know to be outside可知，作者觉得最好外出旅行的方式就是宿营。故应选A。

2.细节理解题。这一段开头的第一句话是这一段的中心句，根据Before you just take off and go there are a few things you should know about before you leave可知，这一段作者要讲述的是出发之前你应该了解的事情，也就是为旅行做准备，故应选A。

3.细节理解题。根据短文第二段中Your tent should have the main tent, the rain fly(防水布), along with the support(支撑) poles（柱，杆）, and these hold up your tent. You should also bring along a piece of ground cloth可知，你的帐篷应该有主帐篷、防水布、支撑杆，这些东西可以支撑起你的帐篷。由此可知空格处缺少的是support poles，故应选C。

4.细节理解题。根据短文第三段中Use fires only when you must. Fires scar the land可知，作者建议我们只有在必要的时候再用火，因为火会给土地留下伤痕。由此可知应选A。

5.词义猜测题。根据文意可知，这篇短文讲述了在去野外宿营的时候应该注意的一些事情。根据划线单词所在的句子Keep noise level down. This way you’ll have more of a chance to see wildlife.可知，把噪音降下来，我们就能看到wildlife，A选项是flowers花，和C选项stars星星都跟有没有噪音没有关系，故wildlife应该指的是动物，如果声音很大，就会把动物吓跑了，故应选B。

点睛：这篇短文讲述了去户外野营的时候的一些知识，短文内容比较容易理解。后面的题目以细节理解题为主，第5小题是词义猜测题。细节理解的题目可以在原文找到答案，我们可以从题目中找到一个关键词，利用它定位到原文相关的地方，进行选择。例如第1小题，我们可以用题干中的the best way to be outside做关键词去文章找答案。再例如第3小题，我们可以用题干和选项中出现的这些名词做关键词，就可以知道这个问题跟tent帐篷有关，所以答案在第二段中。
