What do we do
when we go camp? First, we work out a plan. We take food, clothing, a knife,
and things for cooking and eating. We take things to keep us away from insects
and the sun.
Then we put everything into the car and we drive to the woods. We
look for a place for campers (露营者) and we look for a good place for our tent(帐篷). The place should have a lot of
moving air. This will keep some insects (虫子) away. High land with water on both sides of it is good. Then we
put up our tent. We put everything into the tent, and we are ready for fun. We
can swim in the lake, walk in the woods, climb a mountain, row a boat, or go
fishing.
In the evening we come back to the tent, we build a big fire because
it can keep the insects away. We sit around the fire and talk. We may tell
interesting stories or we may sing songs.
At night we lie down on the grass. We can look up at the stars. It
is a busy day, so we try to go to sleep early.
Everything is dark. Everything is quiet. We hope we won’t hear music
from the radio in the next tent. We hope it won’t rain.

答案及分析：
1.A 本文开头说“First, we work out a plan”,其中work out a plan=draw up a plan，由此可见掌握同义词对于解题十分重要。
2.B。第二段说到“we drive to the woods”，由此可见他们是乘车去野营的。
3.C。野营活动丰富多彩，第二段末尾已提到游泳、散步、爬山、划船、钓鱼，后面还提到讲故事、唱歌等，绝不止“one or two”或“two or three”这样为数不多的活动，而only a few=few，含有否定意义，因此只好排除。
4.C。他们生活的目的是本文重要的细节，文章中不止一次提到这个问题，第三段的“because
it can keep the insects away”已明确说明。
5.B。这是一道综合性的问题，考查读者对野营的看法。通观全文便知道，野营活动丰富多彩，但同时也使人忙碌甚至筋疲力尽，所以文中说”It is a busy day, so we try to go to sleep early”。
