When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the train, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by。‎ ‎ A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by the boats. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.‎ ‎ The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront of the city after sunset, you couldn’t help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boat.‎ ‎ However, in some way, Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores。‎ ‎25.

Has a doctor said he can't find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he has sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.。‎ ‎ Then, consider this: you might be in a state of sub-health. Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.。‎ ‎ According to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week.。‎ ‎ Symptoms(症状) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, anger, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.。‎ ‎ The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.。‎ ‎ As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements -- vitamins and other elements that are important to the body. Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health..‎ ‎29. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should_______. ‎ ‎ A. stay at home and have a good rest.

Everyone is getting unwell.” []‎ ‎ This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen ‎ who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it. ‎ ‎ We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. ‎ ‎ But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives? ‎ ‎ Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel? ‎ ‎ Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, cars, even electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives. ‎ ‎ One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones. ‎ The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” she said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.” ‎ ‎ Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions! ‎ ‎ Don’t be available all the time, Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day. ‎ ‎ Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying. ‎ ‎33. The passage is mainly about ______. ‎ ‎ A. problems with technology B. improvements of our life with technology ‎ ‎ C. the important roles technology plays in our everyday life ‎ ‎ D. major changes which will be likely to happen to technology ‎ ‎34. The writer quoted what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the passage to . [.‎ ‎ A. share a truth about life B. tell us what life was like long time ago ‎ ‎ C. make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen ‎ ‎ D. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same ‎ ‎35. Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house? Because _____. ‎ ‎ A. they liked to live simple lives B. they were troubled by modern inventions ‎ ‎ C. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them ‎ ‎ D. they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions ‎ ‎ ‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes.
