It’s the time of year when we start hiking. As you pack, remember to bring your smartphone. Whether you’re going on a short walk or a long trip, there are a handful of apps that can help.
MapMyHike
This app tracks where you're hiking so you have a mapof your route at the end of the hike. It can also track other fitness information like the distance traveled, speed, pace, and even calories burned. You can save the data for your hike, so you can always access the route you look as well as track improvements to your workout. GaiaGPS
You don't always have cellphone service when hiking, but you always want to know where you are. The GaiaGPS app provides that information. Download maps of different parts of the world, and access the GaiaGPS app in the middle of even the most remote trails. The GPS function makes using the maps simple, and the app will also point to areas of interest.
Backpacking Checklist
One of the worst things is being way out on a trail only to discover you left behind something important. That's why checklists are the best. This checklist app helps you build a customized(定制的) list of things to take with you. Organize different lists based on trail lengths or requirements. Track all your essential items by weight and where you can find them.
WildObs
Using WildObs, you can record your observations of plants and animals and add them to the database. You can ask the community to help you identify something and keep track of everything you've met, and most importantly, you can become a citizen scientist. By recording what you've seen with this app, you're helping scientists keep track of what's happening to the natural world.

Mark Bertram lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It’s life-changing but it’s not life-ending,”he says.
After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to ask Eric Catalano, a tattoo artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio in Hecker, Illinois. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”
Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, and it eventually was viewed by millions of people around the world. The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical tattooing. Now people who want to cover their life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop.
Leslie Pollan, a dog breeder, was bitten on the face by a puppy. She underwent countless surgeries but those gave her no hope. She ultimately traveled six hours for a session with Catalano. HecamouflagedPollan’s lip scar, giving her back confidence.
Though he is now known for his talent with intricate fingernail, Catalano uses the techniques he picked up years ago while helping breast cancer survivors. Those tattoos are among the most common paramedical requests. His grandmother had breast cancer, and her battle with the disease is one reason Catalano is so dedicated to helping those with the diagnosis.
Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos each “Wellness Wednesday”. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn’t charge for paramedical tattoos: A GoFundMe page established last year brought in more than $16,000, allowing Catalano to donate his work.
“Financially, it doesn’t make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see emotions from my customers, I am 100 percent sure this is something that I can’t stop doing.”
4. How did people in the studio react to Bertram’s idea at first?
A. They took it lightly.
B. They found it creative.
C. They were confused.
D. They were impressed.
5. What does the underlined word “camouflaged” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Exposed.
B. Hid.
C. Ignored.
D. Removed.
6. What does Catalano say about his work with paramedical tattoos?
A. It is flexible.
B. It is demanding.
C. It is profitable.
D. It is rewarding.
7. Which of the following can best describe Catalano?
A. Humorous and experienced.
B. Devoted and generous.
C. Cooperative and grateful.
D. Professional and tolerant.
C
If there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and math?
It hasbeen suggested that girls do not take math courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine (女性的) and attractive (有魅力的).
However, there are still more high-achieving boys than girls when taking math exams. This difference appears to be worldwide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who gave answers.
Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of math and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and math and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.
Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many math and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.
8. Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?
A. To find differences between boys and girls.
B. To explain the poor performance of girls.
C. To ask readers a question.
D. To introduce the topic.
9. The text mainly discusses ________ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.
A. biological
B. personal
C. social
D. historical
10. What does the text say about great mathematicians?
A. Their teachers did not offer answers to them.
B. They started learning math at an earlier age.
C. They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.
D. Their success resulted from their strong interest in math.
11. The author would probably agree that ________.
A. boys and girls learn in the same way
B. boys and girls are equal in general intelligence
C. girls are more confident in themselves than before
D. girls should take fewer science courses than boys
D
The early life of the green sea turtle (海龟) is full of danger. Only one in 1,000 baby sea turtles survive to adulthood (成年). From its home in the sand, it breaks its egg with an egg tooth. Its mother is not there to help it. Instead, it is greeted by crabs, coyotes,and dogs waiting to eat it for dinner. To survive, the baby turtle must hide in the sand until night. Then, it moves slowly to the sea.
The small turtle must swim hard to reach the ocean waters. In the sea, it tries hard to find food. It must also keep itself from being food for fish.
As dangerous as the sea turtle’s life is in the natural world, its most dangerous enemies are humans. The rubbish left by humans in the ocean causes problems for the small green sea turtle. A little turtle might eat a piece ofplastic (塑料) in the sea. It might also eat oil on the ocean’s surface. Young turtles also get caught in fishing nets. There are laws against hunting sea turtles. Still, many are hunted, both for their meat and for their shells (壳). All of these dangers must be prevented.
Sea turtles that do survive to grow into adulthood go through many changes. For example, adult green sea turtles weigh about 500 pounds. They stop eating jellyfish and other meat and eat only plants. And they may plan
a trip to go back home again. A mother sea turtle goes back to the beach where she was born. This is the only place where she will lay eggs. Even if it has been forty years since she was a baby, she always knows her way back home.
12. Why do baby turtles move to the sea at night?
A. They dislike sunshine.
B. They prefer lower temperatures.
C. They can find food easily then.
D. They need to avoid enemies.
13. What does the author think of the young turtles in Paragraph 3?
A. Pitiful.
B. Careless.
C. Interesting.
D. Courageous.
14. What can we learn about sea turtles?
A. They mainly feed on fish and meat.
B. They always produce eggs at their birthplaces.
C. They can live for around forty years.
D. They visit their beach homes several times a year.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The homes of green sea turtles.
B. How sea turtles find their food.
C. The dangers faced by sea turtles.
D. How young turtles become adults.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese painting in thePalaceMuseum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights?
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like color1 ful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors can not only enjoy looking at them, they can also interact with them — literally.
___16___Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art?
Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts through art with various tools and technologies for thousands of years. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than
“technicians”.___17___
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly.____18____Take for example one ofChina’s most famous paintings, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued a long time for a chance to see it. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of it with 3D animation.
___19___Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people have created exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.
However, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it?
___20___But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
A. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before.
B. Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess.
C. It’s not important whether they are artists or technicians.
D. They do this by using their phones to change their color1 s and patterns.
E. They watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
F. The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”.
G. This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
