helsinki(赫尔辛基）during the day, taking in the splendid 19th century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams（有轨电车）, you will start to understand why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue.the sea is always present in helsinki. when you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. when you take the tram ,suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. you may notice that people in helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. instead ,they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.an 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（四处走动）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（滨水区）of the city after sunset, you couldnt help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.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.helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its _ a. 19th century buildings, boats and parks b. 19th century buildings, boats and seabirds c. old houses, parks and trams d. old buildings, boats and the seathe best way to see most of helsinki is to go_ a. by boat b. by bus c. by tram d. on footthe 19th century buildings, the white glass palace, popular cafes and design shops in helsinki all show that helsinki is _ a. both splendid and traditional b. both quiet and noisy c. both historical and modern d. both old and newthis passage is most likely to be found in_ a. a story-book b. a geography textbook c. a research report d. a travel magazinecyou are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. they hit one another hard. at the start they only fight with their fists（拳头）.but soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. and so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. he is dead!of course he isnt really dead. with any luck he isnt even hurt. why ? because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catching fire, are professionals（职业）.they do this for a living. these men are called stuntmen. that is to say, they perform tricks（骗局）.there are two sides to their work. they actually do most of the things you see on the screen. for example, they fall from a high building. however, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress（床垫）. again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!but although their work depend on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. often a stuntmans success depends on careful timing（计时）.for example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion（爆炸）just at the right moment.naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. they often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. a norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. his parachute（降落伞）failed to open, and he was killed.in spite of（尽管）all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. for nowadays there are stuntgirls too!63.stuntmen are those who_ a. often dress up as actors b. prefer to lead dangerous lives c. often perform seemingly dangerous actions d. often fight each other for their lives64.stuntmen earn their living by_ a. playing their dirty tricks b. selling their special skills c. jumping out of high windows d. jumping from fast moving trains 65.when a stuntman falls from a high building,_ a. he needs little protection b. he will be covered with a mattress c. his life is endangered d. his safety is generally all right 66.which of the following is the main factor(因素) of a successful performance? a. strength b. exactness c. speed d. carefulness67.what can be inferred from the authors example of the norwegian stuntman? a. sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman. b. the percentage of serious accidents is high. c. parachutes must be of good quality. d. the cliff is too high.dhow to bookbooking opens for beckett shorts on 8 september.by telephonefor credit
