     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（野营地)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 downivind
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.1. You needn"t ask for permission when camping___________.       A. national parks in England
B. most parts of Scotland
C. crowded lowland Britain
D. most parts of England 2. The author thinks that a good campsite is one_________.     A. with easy access
B. used previously
C. with modern conveniences
D. far away from beaches 3. The last paragraph mainly deals with__________.    A. protecting animals
B. building a campfire
C. camping in woodland
D. finding a campsite with privacy 4. The passage is mainly about___________.    A. the protection of campsites
B. the importance of wild camping
C. the human influence on campsites
D. the dos and don"ts of wild camping

简答题
阅读下面短文，根据1至3小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。     Every January, Breckenridge hosts the International Snow Sculpture Championships. Fourteen teams
travel from all over the world to Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty- five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged the best.
     As the championship begins, the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty
tons each. The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are
not allowed to employ tools that use electricity.
     Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. For example, one team carved a teapot
with tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feet(后脚) reaching into a fish bowl
complete with water ripples(涟漪) and a crab(螃蟹)trying to attack the cat. In 2006, Team USA
sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the effect that the little dog saw
its reflection in the glass, the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws(脚爪) touching.
     As the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute details. They
use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team member counts down the last five
minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools behind, they will be out. When
the whistle blows, everyone must step away from the sculpture. The judges then vote on creativity,
technical skills, and visual impact(视觉效果)of the designs.
     In 2006, Team USA took first place for their golden dog sculp-ture titled "Discovery". But the
competition is not just about medals and ribbons. "It"s not about the prize," said Rob Neyland, Team USA"s captain. "It"s about touching the audience.” Every year, as the championship ends, each team is
already dreaming of the next masterpiece it will design. 1. What kind of tools are the sculptors NOT permitted to use?                     （回答词数不超过6个）
____________________________________________________________
2. What gives the sculptors ideas for their creative work?                            （回答词数不超过9个）
____________________________________________________________
3. Why did Team USA win the competition in 2006?                                （回答词数不超过15个）
