The four famous rock stars were due to arrive at any moment and a large crowd of young people had gathered at the airport to welcome them. The police found it difficult to keep the crowd under 1 after the plane landed and the 2 appeared. They smiled and waved 3 at everybody. Dressed in pink shirts and light blue trousers, and with their long hair and their musical instruments 4 their shoulders, the four young men looked remarkably 5 .
In spite of the large number of policemen 6 , it was clear that the group would be not 7 to get to their waiting car easily. 8 had gotten out that they had composed a new song which would be heard when they performed at the auditorium that evening. They were now 9 with cries of "Play something! Play your new song!"
Even the police looked pleased when the young men untapped their instruments and prepared to do one of their numbers as the prize for getting out of the airport. The crowd 10 down and listened to the first 11 of the new song. As soon as it was over, there was a great burst of applause and then everyone started stamping (跺脚) and 12 . Several young women fainted and had to be carried away by the rescues unit which was standing by. Greedy for more, the crowd demanded a repeat performance. Once again the performers yielded (屈服), but when the crowd requested still another song, the group cheerfully but firmly 13 . Now, closely surrounded by the 14 , they put away their 15 and started towards their car which was some distance away. The crowd pushed forward, but policemen, 16 in arms, prevented anyone from getting 17 . It took the singers 18 to reach their car. Finally, however, they got in and were just about to drive away 19 a young woman, who had somehow managed to get past the police, jumped onto the roof of the car.

PART FOUR WRITING
Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage.Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
A Low-Carbon Economy(LCE)refers to an economy which has a minimal emission of greenhouse gas(GHG), namely, carbon dioxide into the biosphere(生物圈).Recently, most of the scientists and the public hold the opinion that the climate is changing because there is such an accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere due to human activities.The over-concentration of these gases is producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future.LCE, therefore, is proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change.
All nations which are considered carbon intensive societies and societies which are heavily populated should become zero-carbon societies and economies.Several of these countries have promised to become 'low carbon' but not entirely zero carbon, and claim that emissions will be cut by 100% by balancing emissions rather than ceasing all emissions.
Nuclear power and the strategies of carbon capture and storage(CCS)have been proposed as the primary means to achieve a LCE while continuing to exploit non-renewable resources.Scientists are afraid, however, whether the spent-nuclear-fuel can be stored, and whether it is secure.Also they are not certain about the costs and time needed to successfully implement CCS worldwide and whether the stored emissions will leak into the biosphere or not.Alternatively, many have proposed renewable energy should be the main basis of a LCE, but, they have their associated problems of high-cost and inefficiency; this is changing, however, since investment and production have been growing significantly in recent times.Furthermore, it has been proposed that to make the transition to an LCE economically attractive we would have to attach a cost(per unit output)to GHGs through means such as emissions trading and/or a carbon tax.
A LCE is aimed to integrate all aspects of itself from its manufacturing, agriculture, transportation to power-generation around technologies that produce energy and materials with little GHG emission and thus around populations, buildings, machines and devices which use those energies and materials efficiently and dispose of or recycle its wastes so as to have a minimal output of GHGs.

uncertainty about the costs and time needed?The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues (疫病) that flesh receives.
The most widespread fallacy (谬误) of all is that colds caused by cold.They are not.They are caused by viruses (病毒) passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches (战壕),cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp (奥斯维辛集中营) naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer.One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and pain suppressors (止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.
1.The writer offered ________examples to support his argument.

A.The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
B.Colds are not caused by cold.
C.People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
D.A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already had one.
3.Arctic explorers may catch colds when________.
[ ]
A.they are working in the isolated arctic regions
B.they are writing reports in terribly cold weather
C.they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions
D.they are coming into touch again with the outside world
4.Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit________.
[ ]
5.The passage mainly discusses________.
[ ]
A.the experiments on the common cold
B.the fallacy about the common cold
C.the reason and the way people catch colds
D.the continued spread of common colds
