Some of them are wearing lipstick and eyeliner and a few of them have piercings. Nervous shoppers hurry pas

11、t them, trying not to make eye contact. It seems to be quiet but you feel that at any moment a fight could start. The police say these young people are probably harmlessperhaps they just hang around the square because theres nothing better to do. But older people say they are tired of putting up wit

There are more Chavs than Gothsmaybe its hard for some Goths to get up in the mornings! When they finally arrive, supervisors ask them to put on camoufla

14、ge clothing. And then the two gangs spend the rest of the morning pretending to shoot at each other.Dont worrythe guns are not real (they fire plastic balls filled with paint) and its all for fun. But isnt it dangerous to fight aggression with aggression? Is a game of paintball really the best way t

37、ing script of a radio program* Choose the best answer for the questions followed.Then write your answer on the answer sheetPresenter； American accent So. . what did happen to Amelia Earhart on her last flight? With me in the studio Im joined by Bruce Holtz, who has been studying the story for many y

38、ears. Bruce, can you tell us some of the theories about Amelias tragic accident?Bruce： West Coast US accent Well, according to some theories Amelia didnt actually die. For many years some people believed that she survived and then worked for the Japanese during the war.Presenter: The Japanese? You h

39、ave to remember that Japan was Americas big enemy, even in the 1930s.Bruce： Yes, thats right. The story is that during the Second World War，the Japanese broadcast anti-US propaganda on the radio to America. This was read by someone who called herself Tokyo Rose, an American woman living in Japan. So

40、me people thought that perhaps Tokyo Rose was Amelia Earhart. However, Amelias husband listened to dozens of tapes of the broadcasts but he couldnt identify his wifes voice. So the theory seems unlikely.Presenter： Mmm. What other theories are there?Bruce： Well, another theory was that Amelia was act

41、ually a US spy and that she was caught and killed by the Japanese. In 1937 a 15-year-old boy said he heard Amelia Earhart on his radio on 2 July, the day she disappeared. He said that he heard a scream and the woman said Japanese soldiers had entered the plane.Presenter： Well, that sounds quite conv

42、incing, doesnt it?Bruce： Er, yes and no. You have to remember that Americans were very worried about Japan back then. Any information from the Pacific region about what the Japanese were doing was very useful. Amelia could have tried to get information-like taking photos. But if she was a spy, there

43、 would definitely be files and documents about this in the FBI and government records. The problem is that many researchers spent a long time searching these records in the 1990s and they didnt find any information at all about Amelia being a spy.Presenter： Which theories are more likely then?Bruce：

44、 Well, probably the simplest explanation is that Amelia simply ran out of gas and crashed into the ocean. In fact, Amelia did definitely mention that she was starting to run out of gas in her last radio message. But there was no sign of panic and we have since calculated that she must have had enoug

45、h fuel for at least four more hours when she disappeared. So, its an easy explanation but its also easy to prove that its not true. Perhaps the most intriguing story comes from the island of Nikumaroro in the Pacific. Years after Amelias disappearancet some researchers on the island noticed that the

46、 islanders were using metal plates. The metal looked like it could have come from an aeroplane.Presenter： So youre saying that Amelia tried to land her plane on another island. This Niko, er.Bruce： Nikumaroro, yes. Perhaps they decided to land there because they knew the fuel would run out.Presenter

47、： Or perhaps they had made a mistake-they thought they had reached their destination-Howland Island. But it was the wrong island.Bruce： Of course, that is also a possibility. Remember-these islands are very small andAmelias plane would have been very high up above the ocean. You can imagine how easy

48、 it is to choose the wrong island by mistake. But remember that Fred Noonan was a very experienced navigator, perhaps the best in the world at the time.Presenter： But I thought that the US Navy spent 16 days looking for the planband that ships and Navy planes explored all the islands in the area?Bru

49、ce： That is correct. The Navy claimed that they had searched the island in 1937. But who knows? The plane might have crashed into the sea as they were trying to land on the island and was never found.Presenter: OK. Now finally9 something Ive really wanted to ask. I remember an episode of Star Trek f

50、rom years ago that mentioned Amelia Earhart. The story suggested that Amelia and Fred Noonan had been captured by aliens! Is there any evidence for this?Bruce： Its a nice story but I dont think you need me to answer that question. . t Presenter： Er, OK. Bruce Holtz, thank you.16. The messages broadc

Researchers couldnt find any information on Amelia in the FBI records becauseA. she may have been killed by the Japanese.B. researchers only started looking in the 1

52、990s.C. she probably wasnt a spy.D. researchers didnt look for long enough.18 When Amelia sent her last message, A. she still had gas for several hours Hying.B. she was extremely worried about how much gas she had left.C. she had already run out of gas.D. she was about to crash.19. The story about t

53、he metal plates on Nikumaroro suggests thatA. Amelia had met the islanders.B. the plane might have landed or crashed nearby.C. the US Navy hadnt searched the area near the island.D. Fred Noonan wasnt good at navigating.20. Bruce doesnt want to answer the question about Star Trek becauseA. he hadnt s

54、een it.B. he didnt have any evidence for the theory.C. he didnt think it was a serious question.D. he didnt like the series.Passage B(2 points each JO points in total)Read the following passage and match sentences A-F with gaps 21-25.
