People with unique life stories volunteer to be the"books. "For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as impressive as any you can find in a book.

A soldier suffering from PTSD(创伤后应急障碍症).A homeless person. A woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own pre-judged opinions-- to truly get to know, and learn from, someone they might otherwise make a snap Judgment about. According to its website, the Human Library is’’a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered’’The Human Library, which came to be in Denmark in 2000, gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "I’m an open book, "Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany. and some colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northem European festival, hoping to raise awareness of violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since.The stories these"books"tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between.And that's the very point of the organization- -to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly can't judge a book by its cover - or by its title or label.28. What kind of stories are there in a human library?A. Personal and real-life storiesB.

Borrow People to Read.C. Borrow People to Help.D. Borrow Books to ImpressDA comparison of nesting data recorded in the early 1900s with similar data today for more than200 species of California birds shows that over all they are breeding(*1)5 to 12 days earlier than they did 75 to 100 years ago. Earlier studies found that many but not all birds in Californ ia’s mountains are moving north or to higher altitude to find cooler temperatures in the face of global warming. "The shift to earlier breeding that we detected allows birds to nest at similar temperatures as they did a century ago, and helps explain why half the bird species in the mountainous areas of California did not need to shift upward in altitude in response to climate warming over the past century, said Steven Beissinger, a UC Berkeley professor of environmental sciences.Early spring arrivals have long been noted by the public and reported by scientists, but the assumption has been that the birds are tracking resources, primarily food: with warming temperatures.plants produce leaves and seeds earlier, and insects appear earlier.The new study spotlights another major reason: by nesting a week earlier, birds produce eggs and young at a temperature about 1 degree Celsius lower than if they nested at the normal time in the same place. This exactlycounter balances (抵消) the approximately 1 degree Celsius increase in global temperatures over the past century. “By nesting a week or 10 days earlier.birds are avoiding some of the negative ef fects of climate warming. "Beissinger said. "The good news is that there may be more flexibility for species to respond to climate change than we thought, and not all species may need to move farther north or to higher altitudes." he added. "But we don't know yet whether staying in place and shifting schedules earlier is a permanent solution, or only provides temporary relief from the 2 degree Celsius rise in temperatures forecast to occur.Birds may find, for example, that the window of good temperatures for breeding becomes shorter.which may limit the opportunity to re-nest if they fail the first time. Larger species that have a longer nesting period might not have an enough time to complete their nests before it starts to become too warm, he said.32. To fight against the global warming, earlier studies found thatA. some birds tried to find cooler placesB. some birds failed to nest more than everC. some birds began to produce eggs earlierD. some birds woke up earlier to catch insects33. What can we infer from the passage?A. Early birds catch insects and get tender leavesB. Global warming is responsible for earlier springsC. Birds are smart in adapting to the climate changesD. Birds are likely to have difficulty in breeding ways34. What is mainly talked about in the passageA. Birds’ moving north and global warming.B. Early breeding of birds and climate changesC. Changes of birds’ life and early spring arrivalsD. Birds, reaction and early appearance of foods.35 .what's Steve Beissinger's attitude to the finding according to the passage?A. Disappointed.B. PanicC. RelievedD. Flexible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。

How does it feel to take the high﹣speed train in China?Editor's note:China has launched its new﹣generation bullet train, the Fuxing （Chinese for rejuvenation）, which will travel at 350 kilometers per hour on the Beijing﹣Shanghai route, making it the world's fastest bullet train． Some readers share their experiences of taking the high﹣speed train in China．Michael （US）Taking a high speed train in China is an enjoyable experience for me． I would rather take a train than wait for hours at the airport if I travel from Beijing to Shanghai． Trains are always on time, whereas flights are often delayed． Sitting on a high speed train is comfortable even if it's a second class wagon． You feel much cozier on your seat and have some snacks． Plus, it is great to know that China's Fuxing high speed train has lifted the speed of the high﹣speed train to 350kilometers per hour．David （Australia）It's just so smooth that you won't feel anything． I watched a video online that a guy put a coin standing on its edge by the window and it stood for fifteen minutes during the train ride from Beijing to Shanghai! You don't have to hold at any hand rails when you walk the aisle （通道）． If you close your eyes, you would think you're standing still．Glen （Canada）Most of the high﹣speed railway stations are newly built and very modem, which provide free WiFi to all the passengers． You don't need to arrive at the station hours before it departs． You must book well inadvance, especially during peak seasons, as trains are often fully booked． The interior （内部） of the train is spacious and exquisite． I cannot wait for my country to get just one high speed line built．Foreign Chinese （Malaysia）I have tried China's bullet train． Smooth and the ride is so comfortable． However no smoking is allowed． I'd rather take those green trains which take you to any destination． And the countryside view is refreshing．（1）Which is NOT the reason for which Michael （US） prefers to take the train？________A.The train is always on time while the plane not．B.The train is more comfortable．C.The train is faster than the plane．D.The train seats feel much cozier．（2）David （Australia） thinks when the train is running， it is very________．A.fast D． C.steady B．（3）Where do you think the text most probably comes from？________A.A newspaper．B.A science fiction．C.A sports magazine．D.An experimental report．2. One cold day last November, my wife and I came home from work to look after our sick young daughter and we decided to stay at home for the night． Problem was, we had two tickets to see Miranda July, the performance artist, being interviewed at the Herbst Theatre． We decided to sell them online for ﹩50． One hour before the event, a guy named Peter called me and said he wanted to buy the tickets． Since the Lime was limited, I told Peter to pay me the next day． Peter seemed touched and we said a fond goodbye．However, a month later, Peter still didn't pay me back． A few more weeks passed． Another month． There came one e﹣mail promising to mail the check, then silence． Maybe he was having a hard time, I thought． But the truth was, Peter seemed to be having a pretty normal time． According to the pictures and messages on his Facebook, he had been playing golf, dancing happily with his friends, and traveling on a boat． But he just refused to answer my calls, or reply to my e﹣mails or messages． So I tried reaching him with my wife's phone one night． And he didn't pick up when I called, but texted right back, playfully wondering who might be calling him． "You should go to his office, " my wife said, "He would have to give you the money if all his coworkers were watching．"But I didn't want to become a debt collector． My efforts to reach Peter over these months had been light and I wanted to keep it that way． My initial exchange with Peter had been just two regular people agreeing to handle things humanly． There was a rare niceness in that, and I still wanted to keep that balloon in the air, however disappointing it was starting to look． I wanted to believe we could still trust each other．（1）For what reason did the author and his wife decide to sell the ticket？________A.They wanted to save some money．B.They thought it was top cold that night．C.They needed to take care of their daughter．D.They were going to be interviewed．（2）On the night the author sold his tickets to Peter， he________．A.felt a little hesitant．B.knew he might not get the ﹩ 50．C.was moved by Peter's kindness．D.thought he could trust Peter．（3）Why didn't Peter pay the author back？________A.Because he was too busy to pay．B.Because he didn't remember it．C.Because he didn't want to pay．D.Because he was having a tough time．（4）What can we infer about the author？________A.He might call the police for help．B.He still hoped Peter would pay him back．C.He would go to Peters office to talk to him．D.He would never trust strangers．3. When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not ________ the manufacturers claims, the first step is to present the warranty （保修卡）, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase． In most cases, this action will produce results． However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction． A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager． In general, the "higher up" his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled． In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has ajust claim．Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter．Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question． If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements． For example, "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo does not work"． The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer． If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible． If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further． She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights．（1）How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective， according to the text？________A.Explain exactly what is wrong with the item．B.Threaten to take the seller to court．C.Make polite and general statements about the problem．D.Avoid having direct contact with the store manager．（2）According to the text， which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to？________plain to the manufacturer if possible．plain to the store manager in person．C.Write a complaint letter to the manager．D.Turn to the Consumers' Rights Protection Organization for help．（3）The phrase "live up to" in this context means________．A.realize the purpose of．B.fulfill the demands of．C.reach the standard of．D.keep the promise of．（4）The text is mainly about________．A.how to make an effective complaint about a faulty item．B.how to settle a consumer's complaint about a faulty item．C.how to avoid buying a faulty item．D.how to deal with complaints from customers．4. Next time you find yourself ________ in an unexpected heavy rain, look on the bright side﹣it will be a memorable experience． While wet weather may make us feel gloomy, it sharpens the memory and improves our recall． But those who fell in a good mood because it's a sunny day are able to remember less well, according to memory tests carried by Australian researchers．Professor Joe Forgas, who led the research, said: "It seems strange but a little bit of sadness is a good thing． People performed much better on our memory test when the weather was unpleasant and they were in a slightly negative mood﹣On bright sunny days, when they were more likely to be happy, they remembered less．" The tests were carried out on shoppers at a store in Sydney, where researchers randomly placed ten small objects on the check﹣out counter． On rainy days, sad music was played in the store． When it was bright andsunny, customers heard cheery music． This was done to further influence them towards negative or positive moods． After shopping, customers were asked how many of the objects they could remember． Their scores were three times higher when the weather was bad and they were feeling angry, compared with those tested on sunny days． The results were published in Journal of Experimental Psychology． A report on the findings said: "They point to a growing body of evidence that the way people think, the quality of their judgments and the accuracy of their memory are all significantly influenced by positive or negative moods．" Professor Forgas said, "We found that weather﹣inducted negative mood improved memory accuracy． Shoppers in a negative mood showed better memory and higher discrimination ability．"A worse mood helped to focus people's attention on their surroundings and led to a more thorough and careful thinking style, while happiness increased confidence and forgetfulness．Being happy tends to promote a thinking style that is less focused on our surroundings． In a positive mood we are less likely to make more snap （匆忙的） judgments about people we meet． Mild negative mood, inturn, tends to increase attention to our surroundings and produce a more careful, thorough thinking style．Accurately remembering everyday scenes is a difficult task, yet such memories can be of importance in everyday life． Surprisingly, the influence of mood states on the accuracy of real﹣life memories is still poorly understood．（1）What's the major function of Paragraph 1？________A.To generalize the whole passage．B.To attract the readers．C.To introduce the theme of the whole passage．D.To describe the unforgettable experience．（2）The underlined word "drenched" in Paragraph 1 may mean "________"．A.muddy D． C.wet B．（3）According to Joe Forgas， on sunny days， people________．A.will have more confidence．B.will make careful judgments on others．C.tend to pay more attention to their surroundings．D.will have a better recall．（4）What can we know from the research？________A.It's important to feel in a good mood．B.Forgetfulness is rather troublesome．C.It's memorable to experience a rainy day．D.Gloomy days are good for memorizing things．第二节（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．5.Using Social Media PositivelySocial media is so common in our society that almost everyone is connected to some form of it， whether it is Twitter， Facebook or even Pinterest． We are in a fast﹣paced， technologically evolving society and we are addicted to social media．（1）_______So how does one ensure a positive online reputation？ It's simple：Keep it clean．（2）_______Party photos with alcohol are an absolute no﹣no． Would you want to have your boss see these photos？ Make sure to post contents that you feel positively reflect you， your creativity and your skills．（3）_______ You have a private Twitter account， so you can post anything you want？ This is decidedly not the case． Privacy settings make it harder to see your full account， but it's not impossible． Under no circumstance should you rely on privacy settings as a way to protect inappropriate contents．（4）_______ Keep it classy （优等的）! Discover your brand， or what you want people to think of you． Proper spelling and grammar is always a plus， but it may not be your brand． Think about what you want people to think of you and go with it．Follow these simple rules and you're on your way to building， or restoring an online reputation． Using social media positively doesn't mean you can't have fun and use it to express yourself； however， you want to ensure that you're OK with anyone seeing everything you post．（5）_______Like it or not， your social networks reflect you ﹣ make sure you look like the shining star that you truly are．A． In fact， we long for social media．B． Ensure you're professional．C． Social media is common now．D． Be entirely sure about what you're posting．E． Don't trust privacy settings．F． Once you click the post， there's no looking back．G． Make sure your post is written personally．第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出适合填入对应空白处的最佳选项，并在笞题卡上将该选项涂黑．6.

You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else's life. At one type of library, you can do Just that-even though there,s not a single book.At a Human Library, instead of books, you can"borrow" people. People with unique life stories volunteer to be the"books. "For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as impressive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotyped(刻板的) topic. You can speak with a person who is forced to leave their country during a war. A soldier suffering from PTSD(创伤后应急障碍症).A homeless person. A woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own pre-judged opinions-- to truly get to know, and learn from, someone they might otherwise make a snap Judgment about. According to its website, the Human Library is’’a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered’’The Human Library, which came to be in Denmark in 2000, gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "I’m an open book, "Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany. and some colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northem European festival, hoping to raise awareness of violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since.The stories these"books"tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between.And that's the very point of the organization- -to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly can't judge a book by its cover - or by its title or label.28. What kind of stories are there in a human library?A. Personal and real-life storiesB. An HIV patients love storiesC. A brave soldier's fighting stories.D. Fictional and impressive stories.29. What does underlined word snap in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. stereotypedB. ImpressiveC. heartbreakingD. difficult30. Why was Human library set up according to the passage?A. To raise awareness of violence among youthB. To symbolize that a person is an open bookC. To truly get to know and learn from different peopleD To prove that everyone can be summed up in just one word31. What is proper title of the passage?A. Borrow Books to Read.B. Borrow People to Read.C. Borrow People to Help.D. Borrow Books to ImpressDA comparison of nesting data recorded in the early 1900s with similar data today for more than200 species of California birds shows that over all they are breeding(*1)5 to 12 days earlier than they did 75 to 100 years ago. Earlier studies found that many but not all birds in Californ ia’s mountains are moving north or to higher altitude to find cooler temperatures in the face of global warming. "The shift to earlier breeding that we detected allows birds to nest at similar temperatures as they did a century ago, and helps explain why half the bird species in the mountainous areas of California did not need to shift upward in altitude in response to climate warming over the past century, said Steven Beissinger, a UC Berkeley professor of environmental sciences.Early spring arrivals have long been noted by the public and reported by scientists, but the assumption has been that the birds are tracking resources, primarily food: with warming temperatures.plants produce leaves and seeds earlier, and insects appear earlier.The new study spotlights another major reason: by nesting a week earlier, birds produce eggs and young at a temperature about 1 degree Celsius lower than if they nested at the normal time in the same place. This exactly counter balances (抵消) the approximately 1 degree Celsius increase in global temperatures over the past century. “By nesting a week or 10 days earlier.birds are avoiding some of the negative effects of cl imate warming."Beissinger said. "The good news is that there may be more flexibility for species to respond to climate change than we thought, and not all species may need to move farther north or to higher altitudes." he added. "But we don't know yet whether staying in place and shifting schedules earlier is a permanent solution, or only provides temporary relief from the 2 degree Celsius rise in temperatures forecast to occur.Birds may find, for example, that the window of good temperatures for breeding becomes shorter.which may limit the opportunity to re-nest if they fail the first time. Larger species that have a longer nesting period might not have an enough time to complete their nests before it starts to become too warm, he said.32. To fight against the global warming, earlier studies found thatA. some birds tried to find cooler placesB. some birds failed to nest more than everC. some birds began to produce eggs earlierD. some birds woke up earlier to catch insects33. What can we infer from the passage?A. Early birds catch insects and get tender leavesB. Global warming is responsible for earlier springsC. Birds are smart in adapting to the climate changesD. Birds are likely to have difficulty in breeding ways34. What is mainly talked about in the passageA. Birds’ moving north and global warming.B. Early breeding of birds and climate changesC. Changes of birds’ life and early spring arrivalsD. Birds, reaction and early appearance of foods.35 .what's Steve Beissinger's attitude to the finding according to the passage?A. Disappointed.B. PanicC. RelievedD. Flexible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。

Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip（静脉滴注）, she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere（干涉）, unwilling to offend the old man.A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma（昏迷） a few times.When rescued from the latest coma, the old man said to the doctor as his last wish, "I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?"But the doctor knew that her family was well-off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father's car.When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $500 to the doctor, saying, "The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling." Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.(1) If you're a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, what kind of people do you have to attend to?A.

"And, as you find this meaning, you connect with your partner, and we know that interpersonal connection and communication is a basis of happiness."The study involved 79 college students wearing an electronic recorder that recorded their conversation every 12.5 minutes for four days. Researchers then went through the tapes and classified the conversation as small talk about the weather or having watched a TV show, and more meaningful talk about current affairs, philosophy, or the role of education. A conversation about a TV show wasn't always considered small talk; it could be classified as deep if the speakers studied the characters.The research found that about 45.9 percent of the day's conversations the happiest person had were important and serious, while, only 21.8 percent of the unhappiest person's conversations were important and serious. Small talk made up only 10 percent of the happiest person's conversations, while it made up almost three times as much of the unhappiest person's conversations.Next, Dr. Mehl wants to see if people can actually make themselves happier by having more deep conversations.(1) What does the underlined word "counterintuitive" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Against expectation.B. Widely known.C. Obvious or natural.D. Scientific and true.(2) According to the research, which of the following most probably makes you happier ingeneral?A. Talking about the weatherB. Talking about a TV showC. Talking about philosophyD. Talking about fashion(3) The author of the text seems to.A. believe the more deep talk, the happierB. doubt the conclusions of the researchC. be confused about the researchD. report fairly on the research(4) What's the best title for the text?A. What Is Deep Talk?B. Talk Deeply, Be Happy?C. How to Talk Deeply?D. Suggestions on Conversation4、【来源】 2018年陕西西安碑林区西北工业大学附属中学高三一模第32~35题8分DAntiquities are ancient objects and artworks. Museums acquire works to display from many different sources. Sometimes they purchase them. Other times they receive donations. Today there are strict rulesforbidding art that has been stolen from other countries. However, antiquities that have been at museums for decades or even centuries may have arrived there by questionable means. Now, some countries claim that museums have a responsibility to return these antiquities to their original locations.There are many examples of this debate. Perhaps the most famous is the argument between Greece and the UK over the Elgin marbles. In the early 19th century, the Earl（伯爵） of Elgin had numerous sculptures taken from Greece to the UK. When Elgin did this, Greece was still a part of the Ottoman Empire. He claimed that he had received a permit to export the sculptures. Today the marbles are on display in the British Museum. However, Greece wants them to be returned to their original location.Should museums return these antiquities? Experts disagree. Malcolm Bell III says yes. Bell is a retired professor of art at the University of Virginia. He says, "Many antiquities and artworks have special cultural value for a particular community or nation. When these works are removed from their original cultural setting they lose their context and the culture loses a part of its history."According to Bell, a country's request for the return of an antiquity usually has a strong legal basis. It was exported illegally, and is now stolen property. He called the return of antiquities "an expression of justice. "James Cuno says not always. Cuno is president of an art museum in Los Angeles. He is also the author of the book Who Owns Antiquity?. Cuno agrees that museums have "a social and legal responsibility" to return illegally exported antiquities. However, he doesn't support the return of legally acquired works."An area of land held today by a given nation-state in the past likely belonged to a different political entity（实体）. Even if one wanted to reunite scattered works of art, where would one do so? Which among the many countries, cities, and museums in possession of parts of a work of art should be the chosen 'home' of the reunited work?" Cuno believes that museums should collect art from the world's diverse cultures. "This should be done through purchase or long-term loan and working in cooperation with museums and nations around the world."This debate is far from over. As a complex question with no easy answer, the issue requires more study.(1) The passage mainly discusses.A. the return of antiquitiesB. the sources of ancient objectsC. the cultural value of artworksD. the responsibility of museums(2) For the case of the marbles. Greece and the UK mainly argue over.A. the time of keeping themB. the real country of originC. the identity of the exporterD. the means of acquiring them(3) According to the passage, Cuno thinks.A. artworks become valueless away from their cultureB. there is no clear answer to giving back antiquitiesC. museums are responsible for reuniting works of artD. the request for recovering artworks aims to promote justice(4) As to the debate, we can learn that.A. The legality of antiquities seems a key factorB. the opinions of experts are completely differentC. museums should look into the sources of antiquities they ownD. the return of antiquities is unlikely due to practical difficulties二、补全对话（10分）5、【来源】 2018年陕西西安碑林区西北工业大学附属中学高三一模第36~40题10分Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people?1Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon, can learn to recognize faces. We all take this for granted.2When we talk about someone's personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face.3But if you were asked to describe a "nice person", you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Airport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18, 000 English words characterizing differences in people'sbehavior.4Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to "type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain's or the hero's role. In fact, the words "person" and "personality" come from the Latin "persona", meaning "mask". Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks.5A. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" look like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.B. But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.C. We also tell people apart by how they behave.D. People have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints.E. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing one's personality.F. Experts say that actors differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics in acting.G. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.三、完型填空（30分）6、【来源】2018年陕西西安碑林区西北工业大学附属中学高三一模第41~60题30分(每题1.5分)When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship.
