【解析】
本文介绍了一对夫妇为了庆祝结婚一周年，去山上露营的事情。他们准备了必需品后就到了山上。在山上找了一个好地方搭起了帐篷。然后他们决定去远足去看更多的山色。经过长时间的徒步旅行之后，他们回到营地，生火做饭。然后休息。到了半夜的时候，帐篷被人偷走了。
51．句意：一对年轻夫妇决定去山上露营庆祝他们结婚一周年。
由语境和首字母提示，可知填：camp；本题考查：go +V.-ing；这里camping是现在分词，做目的状语。go camping=go to camp (camp这里是动词表示“野营”)即：“去的目的是野营”。故答案为camping。
52．句意：他们带上了他们需要的东西——温暖的衣服、食物和帐篷。
由语境和首字母提示，可知填：thing；根据they would need — warm clothes, food and a tent. 他们需要的东西——温暖的衣服、食物和帐篷。这是定语从句，修饰前面的先行词thing，而且再由They took with them，可知，他们带的东西很多，因此先行词thing应该用复数things。故答案为things。
53．句意：他们在山上找了一个好地方来搭帐篷。
由语境和首字母提示，可知填：find；分析句子They went up to the mountains and f_____3_____ a fine place to set up their rent.的结构可知，and连接并列句，前后的时态应该一致，因此本题应该填find 的过去式found。故答案为found。
54．句意：经过长时间的徒步旅行之后，他们回到营地，生火做饭。
由语境和首字母提示，可知填：after；根据上文的句子Then they decided to go for a hike（徒步旅行）to see more of the mountains. 然后他们决定去远足去看更多的山色。再结合下文they went back to their camp, built a fire and cooked, 他们回到营地，生火做饭。应该是在徒步旅行之后，回来做饭。因此应该填after，首字母要大写。故答案为After。
55．句意：经过长时间的徒步旅行之后，他们回到营地，生火做饭。
由语境和首字母提示，可知填：dinner；根据Finally, it was time to go to sleep. 最后，该睡觉了。可以推知，他们回来是做的晚饭，故答案为dinner。
56．句意：到了半夜的时候，妻子叫醒丈夫说：“抬头看天空。你看到什么了？”
由语境和首字母提示，可知填：night；根据Finally, it was time to go to sleep. 最后，该睡觉了。接下来应该是晚上发生的事情。in the middle of the night：半夜；故答案为night。
57．句意：她丈夫回答说：“我看到天上有数百万颗星星。”
由语境和首字母提示，可知填：million；因为空后面有of，因此用millions，millions of：数百万的；语境是：天上有数百万颗星星。故答案为millions。
58．句意：他妻子说：“没错。这对你意味着什么？”
由语境和首字母提示，可知填：what；分析该句子结构W___8____ does the mean to you?可知，该句话为特殊疑问句，而且首字母是w，因此应该用what来指代上文的“看见天上有数百万颗星星这件事情。”，首字母要大写。故答案为What。
59．句意：好吧，如果有这么多恒星，那就意味着也可能有一个和我们一样的行星。
分析句子Well, if there are so many stars out there , that means there might a____9___ be a planet just like ours. 的结构可知，该空在be动词之前，而且首字母是a，因此应该填also：其位置大多放在be动词、助动词、情态动词之后，实义动词之前；故答案为also。
60．句意：真令人兴奋！
根据Well, if there are so many stars out there , that means there might a_____9_____ be a planet just like ours. And if that’s true, then there could be life on one of those planets. 好吧，如果有这么多恒星，那就意味着也可能有一个和我们一样的行星。如果这是真的，那么其中一颗行星上可能有生命。这是丈夫的想法，因此对于丈夫来说，他认为这样是很兴奋的。故答案为exciting。

英语首字母填空技巧
1. 通读短文知大意，看整体全面了解来源：
与阅读理解题和其它类型的完形填空一样，首先要通读短文，了解文章的大意。每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。因此通读全文时要一气呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，细节不理解可以跳过。因此，在解题之前通读一遍短文，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。
2. 复读短文抓信息，前后照应巧猜词
在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文，目的是对短文有更进一步的了解。在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头（一般不设空）和结尾，它们能提供主要的信息，帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。在阅读过程中，要注意上、下文的关系，这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。另外，要学会跳读，即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。有些短文填空题，有时出现约 3%~5% 的生词是很正常的，这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测，来确定它的词义。
3. 反复推敲多分析，慎重答题讲合理
再次通读短文，对留空的句子进行全面的分析，看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义。这一遍阅读要求是精心阅读，要留心找出关键词、短语或句子，还要结合所给首字母的提示，进行填写，并注意单词的正确形式。例如：第5小题，句意：经过长时间的徒步旅行之后，他们回到营地，生火做饭。由语境和首字母提示，可知填：dinner；根据Finally, it was time to go to sleep. 最后，该睡觉了。可以推知，他们回来是做的晚饭，故答案为dinner。
4. 认真复查全文，把握整体和词形来源：
做完以后，再认真读一遍，检查所填写的单词是否与文章要求相符，文章是否通顺，前后是否呼应，有无句型结构及语法错误。
