He ran to the front of the Los Angeles Taco stand and saw a man and a woman arguing. She was screaming for help and had two young boys at her side. All of a sudden, the man hit her in the mouth, seized the smaller boy, and ran down the street.‎ ‎“II followed my judgment and chased him.” Jesus, 35, told the Argonaut newspaper. The older boy ran in the other direction to get help. A group of teenagers who had witnessed the attack assisted the woman, Lauren Kornacki, and called 911. She told them that she was the boy’s babysitter.‎ Within a few blocks, Jesus caught up to the man, Andron Gazarov, 33. They fought, and Jesus wrestled（抢夺）the young boy from Gazarov’s arms. Gazarov threw himself onto the sidewalk. “He was yelling at me that the kid didn’t belong to me. I was telling him the kid didn’t belong to him,” Jesus told the Argonaut.‎ Minutes later, Los Angeles police officers arrived and arrested Gazarov, who was charged with kidnapping, attempted kidnapping, and attack. He faces up to 12 years in prison, if convicted（定罪）. The kids, Brendan O’Brien, went to the Taco stand to thank Jesus for his actions.

The following have helped to save the younger boy EXCEPT ________.‎ A. Jesus Delgado B. Lauren Kornacki C. Tom O’brien D. Brendan O’brien C The new high speed railway line between Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region, and Lanzhou, capital of Gansu‎ ‎Province, has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.‎ The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for the Spring Festival. “For the first time, I feel home is not that far away after all.” said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.‎ The 35 year old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago, and he has now settled in Urumqi.‎ The 1,776 km line, which passes through Qinghai province and is the country’s first high speed railway built in a high altitude region, came into service on Dec 26.‎ ‎“We normally drive home for the Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season,” Liang Shaofu said. “Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes, so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.”‎ More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month, and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said that the introduction of high speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.‎ The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang’s development. All the passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link, leaving the old ones to be used for goods. As a result, Xinjiang’s annual goods ability can reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million.‎ The line passes through areas with experience high winds and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the bone dry sands of the Gobi‎ ‎Desert.‎ The project could help China to promote its high speed railway technology abroad, said Ma ‎ Xizhang, director of the Lanzhou Xinjiang railway project’s management department in Xinjiang.‎ ‎28. How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before?‎ A. about 12 hours. B. About 6 hours. C. About 18 hours. D. About 24 hours.‎ ‎29. What’s the main advantage of the new high speed railway?‎ A. It takes more time to go to Urumqi to ‎Lanzhou B. It helps to improve Xinjiang’s development C. All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals D. It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang.‎ ‎30. From the passage we can learn ________.‎ A. Xinjiang’s annual goods ability can increase nearly four times B. the high speed railway lines can’t be built across the bone dry sands C. the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad D. the old railway lines can only carry goods now ‎31. Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ A. Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to ‎Lanzhou B. The new high speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.‎ C. The new high speed railway line is good for all people to go home.‎ D. Businessmen seldom went home for the Spring Festival before.‎ D Why do people feel so rushed? Part of this is a perception（认知）problem. Generally, people in rich countries have more free time then they used to. This is particularly true in Europe, and even in America free times has been inching up. Women’s paid work has risen a lot over this period, but their time in unpaid work, like cooking and cleaning, has fallen even more significantly, thanks in part to dishwashers, washing machines and microwaves, and also to the fact that man shift themselves a little more around the house than they used to.‎ The problem is less how much time people have than how they see it. Since a clock was first used at a workplace to record labor hours in the 18th century, time has been understood in relation to money. Once hours are financially quantified（量化）, people worry more about wasting, but tend to save or use them more profitably. When economies grow and incomes rise, everyone’s time ‎ becomes more valuable. And the more valuable something becomes, the rarer it seems.‎ Once seeing their time in terms of money, people often grow stingy with the former to maximize the latter. Workers who are paid by the hour volunteer less of their time and ten to feel more upset when they are not working.‎ The relationship between time, money and anxiety is something Gary Becker noticed in America’s post-war boom years. “If anything, time is used more carefully today than a century ago,” he noted in 1965. He found that when people are paid more to work, they tend to work longer hours, because working becomes a more profitable use of time. So the rising value of work time puts pressure on all time. Leisure time starts to seem more stressful, as people are forced to use it wisely or not at all.‎ ‎32. Women’s time in unpaid work has fallen partly because ________.‎ A. men’s ability to support a family has been improved B. men’s involvement in housework has increased C. women’s leisure time was taken up by heavy housework D. women become more skilled at household equipment ‎33. What can we learn from the second paragraph?‎ A. Labor hours were recorded with a clock B. People haven’t realized the value of time C. More work hours bring in more money D. The rise of incomes makes time less valuable ‎34. Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “grow stingy with”?‎ A. refuse to delay B. intend to waste C. try to accumulate D. hesitate to spend ‎35. According to Gary Becker, what causes people to feel anxious about time?‎ A. The wrong way of time being spent.‎ B. People’s willingness to work hard.‎ C. The increasing value of work time.‎ D. More and more leisure time.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Always wanted to appear in the movie—but don’t want a major role? A movie producer is looking for extras!‎ What are extra?‎ ‎ 36 . Notice the people in the background of the action? The crowds at a concert, or the people on the sidewalk? These are the extras.‎ Do I have to say anything?‎ Probably not. 37 ‎ Does it matter what I look like?‎ Extras are usually meant to be the ordinary people in the movie, so the more ordinary you look, the better.‎ Will I meet any stars?‎ ‎ 38 -- but only from a distance, even the camera crews aren’t allowed to make eye contact with actors during a shoot（拍摄）.‎ Do I need experience?‎ No. You need to be able to respond to the director’s instructions such as “Now walk toward the bus.” 39 Obviously skills like horseback riding, ice skating and dancing will help you get a walk-on part.
