巴比伦Babylon
演唱：萧全
词曲：萧全
编曲：萧全
瞬间迸发的光芒
笼罩了月亮
蓝色的火冲天而起
扑面而来的热浪
风变得没有了方向
吹得我睁不开眼
太凌乱找不到我的行囊
但耳边似乎响起那首古老的歌
Babylon Babylon 是谁在唱
Babylon Babylon 它还是来了
Babylon Babylon 深呼吸别慌张
Babylon Babylon 亲爱的不要害怕
孩子们快一些藏好
冷静保存能量
看看什么工具在手上
紧急出口在哪
可为什么你不在我身边
stay safe and Take care of yourself
能否找到那辆七号列车
答案却早已写在那首古老的歌
Babylon Babylon 是谁在唱
Babylon Babylon 它还是来了
Babylon Babylon 深呼吸别慌张
Babylon Babylon 亲爱的不要害怕
Babylon Babylon WOO 那辆七号列车
Babylon Babylon WOO 瞬间迸发的光芒
Babylon Babylon WOO 不顾一切地跑啊
Babylon Babylon WOO 答案却早已写在那一首
Babylon Babylon 是谁在唱
Babylon Babylon 它还是来了
Babylon Babylon 深呼吸别慌张
Babylon Babylon 亲爱的不要害怕
亲爱的不要害怕
亲爱的不要害怕

由本文第一句得，第一题选A
由The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule. 可得第二题选B
因为1932年为3rd 1936年为4th 因为为每四年一次 所以第三题选C
第四题选C项 因为the host countries as well as the non - host countries published stamps to mark those Games.
第五题 选D 因为只有D选项才是冬季奥运会中举行的！

London is a modern Babylon. - quoted from Ch. 5, Bk. V 'Tancred (1847)', also named 'The New Crusade', by Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield (21/12/1804 – 19/04/1881), who was a British politician, novelist, and essayist, serving twice as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
上面是NZ国鸟百科的解释，不难看出原话有很复杂的社会文化背景，正如一百个人眼里有一百个哈姆雷特一样，个人的理解，此话是自豪与慨叹‘伦敦的盛大辉煌、繁华喧嚣与华丽秀美兼具，仿佛古代的巴比伦’。这一点可以从BBC历史频道专页London: 'A Modern Babylon'的题记得到佐证，如下：
As cut-throat commerce helped shape London in the 17th and 18th centuries, the talented, vain and venal flocked to join in its growth. Explore the city's twists and turns on its way to becoming what Disraeli called a 'modern Babylon'.

注1：关于小说Tancred的简介
Tancred; or, The New Crusade (1847) is a novel by Benjamin Disraeli, first published by Henry Colburn in three volumes. Together with Coningsby (1844) and Sybil (1845) it forms a sequence sometimes called the Young England trilogy. It shares a number of characters with the earlier novels, but unlike them is concerned less with the political and social condition of England than with a religious and even mystical theme: the question of how Judaism and Christianity are to be reconciled, and the Church reborn as a progressive force

伦敦也被称之为当代的巴比伦。
