Question

    When I was nine years old, I went off to summer camp for the first time. And my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. While reading, you have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to experience the adventure land inside your own mind. And I had this idea that camp was going to be just like this.

On the very first day, our counselor(顾问) gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill(浸润) camp spirit. And it went like this: “R-O-W-D-I-E, that's the way we spell rowdie. Rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie . Yeah！”. So I couldn't figure out why we had to spell this word incorrectly. But I recited the cheer along with everybody else. I did my best. And I just waited for the time that I could go off and read my books.

But the first time that I took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the room came up to me and asked me, “Why are you being so mellow(安静的)?” Mellow, of course, is the exact opposite of R-O-W-D-I-E. And then the second time I tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.

And so I put my books away, back in their suitcase, and I put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. And I felt kind of guilty about this. I felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me but I just gave them up.

【解析】

本文是记叙文，讲述了作者一次夏令营的经历。作者是一个性格安静的孩子，喜欢看书，带了很多书到夏令营，但是辅导员建议她不要看书，而是要努力让性格变得开朗起来。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段“my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do”和“And I had this idea that camp was going to be just like this”可知，作者去夏令营，妈妈给她带了很多书，她觉得读书是一件非常自然也很有乐趣的事情，以为这次夏令营里需要阅读许多书。故选B项。

2.推理判断题。根据第二段it went like this: “R-O-W-D-I-E, that's the way we spell rowdie. Rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie（（欢呼的口号）是：R-O-W-D-I-E，这是我们拼写“吵闹”这个词的方式。“闹，闹，让我们闹起来”）和“I couldn't figure out why we had to spell this word incorrectly. But I recited the cheer along with everybody else(我不明白为什么我们要把这个单词拼错。但是我和其他人一起背诵了欢呼声。)”可知。作者虽然还是跟别人一起欢呼，但她不明白为什么要闹起来，为什么要把Rowdie这个词拼错。rowdie 形容词，“吵闹的”，正确拼写形式是rowdy。因此推断作者是困惑的。故选A项。

3.推理判断题。根据第三段“the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing（辅导员脸上带着关心的表情来到我身边，她重复了关于露营精神的观点，说我们都应该努力变得外向）”可推断辅导员间接地建议作者露营时不要看书，她想通过强调露营精神让作者变得开朗。故选D项。

4.推理判断题。根据第四段“I felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me but I just gave them up.”可知，作者露营时将书带去了，但是一个夏天都没有看书，觉得书好像需要她，而她却放弃了书本，因此感到内疚。故选B项。
