Reagan was coming
33、 out of a hotel after making a speech when suddenly six loud shots rang out. One of the bullets entered the Presidents left lung. His security(安全 )men sent him to the hospital where doctors operated on him for two hours. Reagan became well rapidly and was back in the White House after a few weeks. T
34、he gunman was a young man from a well-to-do family. After the shooting, police searched his hotel room and found a letter. The letter was addressed to Jody Foster, a young film star.

Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices. Green building means“ reducing the impact (影响 )of the building on the land“, Taryn
38、Holowka of the U. S. Green Building Council in Washington, D. C, said. According to Holowka, building account for(占了 ) 65 percent of total U. S. electricity But green building can reduce energy and water use. Also, the building are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways,
39、so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green building are often built on developed land, so that the buildings dont destroy forests. Marty Dettling is project manger for a building that put these ideas in
40、to action. The Solaire has been called the countrys first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “Weve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent,“ The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the
41、suns energy into electricity, “Dettling explained. The solaire als5 has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The solaire eats water reusing it. Not everyone is eager to m
42、ove into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “Its going to be big.“ 68 In the second paragraph, the underlined words “the building“ most probably refer to _. （ A） an ordinary building （
43、 B） an energy-saving building （ C） a green-colored building 69 A green building is often built on an area of land _. （ A） which has thick forests around （ B） which has already been for buildings （ C） where people of high income live 70 When Holowka says in the last paragraph, “Its going to be big“,

Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa, we are likely to think that all Africans are musicians. Th
46、e impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators (旁观者 ). Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers (消费者 )rather than producers of music We have records, television, concerts, and radio to meet many
47、of our musical needs. In most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to tell the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa Alban Ayipaga, a Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana, says that when his flute and drum ensemble(歌舞
48、团 )is performing, “Anybody can take part“. This is true, but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music. Some can sing along with the drummers, but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensemble. It is fairly comm
49、on in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound Performances often take place in an open area (that is, not on a stage) and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators, and passive spectators may be difficult to draw
