Ⅰ.阅读理解
As summer approaches and the tourist season begins, social media users will struggle to answer the age-old question: If you didn't post your vacation pictures, did you really even go
Though it may be difficult for some to escape work emails and update social media during vacation, the island of Ulko-Tammio in Finland is appealing to visitors to avoid their screens and explore nature wholeheartedly.
Claiming to be the world's first phone-free tourist island, Ulko-Tammio is located in the Eastern Gulf of Finland and Finland has been named “the world's happiest country” for six years and, somewhat interestingly, is home to Nokia, a famous mobile phone brand.
“The island of Ulko-Tammio, located off the coast of Hamina, will be a phone-free area this summer,” an expert in island tourism at Visit Kotka-Hamina Mats Selin said. “We want to encourage holidaymakers to switch off their smart devices and to stop and fully enjoy the island.”
One of Finland's 41 national parks, Ulko-Tammio is uninhabited, but is home to many rare birds and plants, which visitors can spot on a hike along the island's nature trails or from the island's bird tower.
Participating in the campaign for tourists on Ulko-Tammio is voluntary and, since the mobile network is still working on the island, the difficulty in avoiding smart devices will be ever-present.
However, the staff of Parks & Wildlife Finland, the company that manages the island, hope that the campaign encourages tourists to stay away from smart devices and engage with the scenery and fellow visitors.
“Switching off your phone, exploring nature and meeting people face-to-face will surely improve your mood and well-being,” psychologist and research manager at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare Sari Castrén said. “We spend countless hours focusing on our social media feeds, so taking a short break from them means you have more time for new experiences.”

2.A　 主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“Ulko-Tammio is uninhabited, but is home to many rare birds and plants, which visitors can spot on a hike...”可知 Ulko-Tammio无人居住,却是许多珍稀鸟类和植物的家园,人们徒步时可以看到,由此可知,本段推荐了这个岛屿上值得欣赏的东西——珍稀鸟类和植物。故选A。
3.C　 细节理解题。根据第六段可知,岛上有正常工作的移动网络,所以岛屿上的游客想要避免使用手机永远有困难。故选C。
