Question

Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and ,at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively（不引人注目地）and leave no mark.

 Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.

 Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite（野營地）seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.

 Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.

Answer 1

【小題1】A

【小題2】B

【小題3】C

【小題4】D

解析:

【小題1】細節題。從下句可以知道答案。but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.

【小題2】細節判斷題。最后一段中的Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot告訴了我們該題的答案。A和C應該改為without easy access without modern conveniences。

【小題3】主旨判斷題。最后一段話主要告訴考生camping in woodland的時候要注意那些事項。

【小題4】主旨大意題。全文告訴我們當我們wild camping的時候我們可以做的事情和不能做的事情。該題容易誤選A。文章不是僅僅講野營地的保護。
