After he had been driving for a few hours,there was a sandstorm.His car left the road and then broke down. Smith began walking north across the hot sand under the scorching sun.He hoped he would soon reach the road again.Soon,his tongue was thick with thirst.He needed water,but everywhere he looked there was nothing except sand. Smith kept walking.Then,about an hour later,a man riding a camel came into sight.Smith waved to him.The man on the camel rode up to him and stopped."Please,"Smith said,"I am dying of thirst.Let me have some of your water."The man slowly shook his head."You can't have any water,"he said,"but I'll sell you a necktie.""I don't want a necktie,"Smith shouted at him furiously."I need water."But the man turned away quickly and rode off. Smith continued walking.Two hours later,he met another man riding a camel.This time he asked if he could buy some water,but the man refused,saying,No,but I'II sell you a necktie." Angrily,Smith turned away from him and continued walking. Three hours later,by which time he was near death,Smith saw a large luxury hotel in the distance.It stood alone in the middle of the desert,surrounded by palm trees. Smith managed to reach the main entrance.He was about to enter the hotel when the doorman stopped him."Hey!he said."This is a first-class hotel.You can'tome in here without a necktie.” 56.What happened to Smith at the very beginning of the sandstorm?

B A touch screen is a display device that allows the user to interact with a computer using their finger or stylus ()They're a useful alternative to a mouse or keyboard for navigating a GUI(graphical user interface图形用户界面). Note! Not all touch screens have the same functions,but the actions below are the most common. How do you use the touch screen? Tap-A single touch or tap on the screen with a finger opens an app or select an object. When compared to a traditional computer,a tap is the same as clicking with a mouse. Double-tap-A double-tap can have different functions depending on where it is used.For example,in a browser,double-tapping the screen zooms the view,centred at the tap location. Double tapping in a text editor selects a word or section of words,the same way as a computer mouse. Touch and hold-Pressing and holding your finger to a touch screen selects or highlights an object.For example,you could touch and hold an icon(),and then drag it somewhere else on the screen. Pinch -Placing two fingers on the screen in different spots and then pinching them together zooms in.Pinching your fingers together and then moving them away from each other, zooms out on the screen.It seems that using fingers is much more convenient than the mouse. How is a touch screen different from a mouse? A computer mouse and touch screen have many similarities.Many of them are mentioned in the section above. One of the most significant differences between a mouse and a touch screen is the ability to hover ()Almost all touch screens can only detect input when your finger is in direct contact with the screen.However,a computer mouse uses a cursor (that allows the user to view information by moving the pointer over an object,but not clicking it.For example,this link to Computer Hope shows the text "Visit the Computer Hope Pagewhen users hover over it using a computer mouse.However,a user with a touch screen cannot see this text because if they place their finger on the link,it opens the link. 60.How can you use the touch screen to highlight an object? A.By double tapping.B.By tapping. C.By touching and holding.D.By pinching. 61.What can be learned from the passage? A.Ways to use a touch screen and a computer mouse are all the same. B.A computer mouse allows users to view information only after they click it. C.Both double-tapping and double-clicking in a text can delete a word or a sentence. D.Few touch screens can detect input if your finger fails to touch them directly. 82.Where are you most likely to read this article? A.In a quality report.B.In a tech magazine. 高二英语期末试卷第6页 C.Ona hospital webpage.D.Inan operation guide. C English,like many languages,allows adjectives to be used as nouns,such as"the good",the bad”,and the“ugly”.However,,referring to groups like“the poor'”or“the disabled”is increasingly seen as stigmatizing,especially for characteristics considered unfortunate.This has led to discomfort with terms like"blacks"when used as a group noun. Joumalists are often given suggestions::replace“slaves'”with“enslaved people”or “racialized people",“addicts”with“drug users”or“people with a substance-abuse problem'”;and so on. In each instance,the target is a term that is,or can be seen as,bearing negative meaning.The alternative is meant to be less so.However,this approach presents challenges. One is that though a case can be made for each individual change,adopting every one will quickly make a piece of writing awkward,since every new option is longer than the one it is supposed to replace.It will also make writing seem more unnatural,since the entire point is to replace words in common use with phrases that are not.Good journalism is ideally conversational and accessible,calling for a lively and engaging style. Changing the world is hard:changing the language is a lot easier,which is why linguistic( engineering can tempt people who may feel they have no other tools at hand apart from their keyboards.But it doesn't seem to work out as hoped.Replacing a stigmatized word often merely results in the stigma attaching to the new word. Some groups have chosen a different approach by recovering older terms. “African-American'”was popular for30 years,,but now“Black”is back,often with a capital B. While"hearing-impaired"is still used medically,many"Deafpeople proudly used the term with a capital D.The idea seems to be that showing pride is likely to be more effective than changing words. As for writers,good works should be both sharp and humane so that they can engage readers and benefit their subjects.In this context,everyday conversational language may be just as effective as the latest terms promoted by activists. 63.What does the word"stigmatizing"in Para.1 mean? A.Respecting the characteristics of individuals. B.Inventing new words to describe a new group. C.Using language that is neutral and descriptive. D.Encouraging negative associations with a group. 64.What does the writer think of the word replacement? A.It can make the writing more lively and engaging. B.The new phrases might still be misunderstood by readers. C.The new words may still bear some unfavourable meaning. D.Readers might find the new terms too formal and confusing. 65.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Some old language has long been misused. B.Language evolution is gradually slowing down. C.New words convey meanings better than old terms. D.Effective writing should show the change of anguae. 6.Whichogislikoh 高二英语期末试卷第7页 A.Linmaynot always help. .haveompt ost theirappeal. C Writers need to contribute to the invention of new terms. verydy conversational language is not as effective as assumed. Section C(8) Directions:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. enen cbe sedonly once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need A.uifinhe gesbneath the workings ofthe brain is key. B.Byhe huma nom(巷因组，er的genesth vriocatios,paving the wayfor more targetedreamens.

E.This method allows scientists to control specific neurons to study their role in behavior and cognition,offering insights into how the brain processes information. F.As our ability to control the brain grows,so does the responsibility to ensure that these powerful technologies are used ethically. The Evolution of Brain Science The field of brain science has undergone significant advancements over the past few decades. This evolution is characterized by a deeper understanding of the complexities of the human brain, thanks to technological innovations and interdisciplinary(跨学科的)research, _67_&.Early neuroscientists relied on rudimentary dissection(基本解剖)techniques and simple observational studies to understand brain function.The emergence of imaging technologies such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)in the 1980s revolutionized brain research.MRI allows scientists to peer inside the living brain without invasive（有创的) dres,providing detailed images of brain structureand function. Furthermore,the Human Genome Project,completed in 2003,opened new avenues for understanding the genetic bases of brain disorders.68 nyes,he nri of atificialinteli nd machinea aabled h yfvatatasets,eading oin understadin neural networks and brain connectivity.

Online shopping brings its own challenges.Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing various websites.The laim made by online sites is that shopping oin is asafe and secure way to make purchases.The evidence challenges this.In any case,you ony have to be the victim of fraud ()once to experience all the problems that come with thisform of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation. Another problem is that the appearance of items in reality is often quite differentfrom what you see on your computer screen.This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turs up in green.Also,product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue.Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customers'satisfaction. Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming.Yes,your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered?Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems.You are also by now becoming increasingly annoyed(使烦恼)by the fact that the delivery is late！ Without question,online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits.However,perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.
