Norman Borlaug is considered the father of what has been called the Green Revolution. His ideas about agriculture increased crop production and ended hunger in many nations. Mr. Borlaug continues to be a leader among agricultural researchers.Norman Borlaug was born in 1914 on a farm in the American state of Iowa. In the middle of the 20th century, world population was expanding faster than food production. Experts said many people in developing countries would face starvation.Norman Borlaug was an agricultural researcher at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico. He developed methods of growing wheat that increased the amount harvested by three times. He later repeated this success in India, Pakistan and Africa.His methods of farming saved millions of people who would have starved to death. Norman Borlaug was given the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in 1970.Norman Borlaug is still urging experts to think about the needs of people around the world. His latest concern is a disease in wheat called UG99. He says it has the power to destroy most of the wheat being grown around the world. He says reductions in agricultural programs have made it harder to take action against such threats.Mr. Borlaug’s granddaughter Julie works at the center named after him at Texas A&M University in Dallas. She says his worry about food problems rises from the belief that hunger is unacceptable. She says Norman Borlaug still believes it is our responsibility as human beingsto feed one another.4．Norman Borlaug was ________ years old when he was given the Nobel Prize.A．56 B．94C．65 D．995．In the passage, the writer tries to ________.A．express his respect for Norman Borlaug.B．introduce Norman Borlaug’s own life in AmericaC．show an interest in Norman Borlaug’s researchD．describe Norman Borlaug and his research6．Which of the following statements about UG99 is TRUE?A．UG99 is a modern software virus.B．UG99 is a disease that does great harm to the wheat.C．UG99 is a virus that appeared in 1999.D．UG99 caused increase in agricultural output.7．In the passage, the author did NOT mention ________besides the USA．A．France B．PakistanC．India D．AfricaEvery country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire（钦佩）or think highly of. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential of that nation.Today in America, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choices would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars — the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should find more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area — sports. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of disorder. Too frequently, drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they shouldnot be held up as a model of young people. Today, the rock star, the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.8．From the passage, what kind of persons are the heroes the American youth admire? A．those who are perfect in all areasB．those who are talented in some area but lead an improper lifeC．those who are not bright but are good-lookingD．those who are rich but are strict with themselves9．What is the writer’s attitude towards American youth’s admiration?A．He goes for it B．He is angry about itC．He thinks badly of it D．He is uninterested in it10．Which of the following can take the place of the underlined word “imitate” in the last paragraph?A．love B．copyC．know D．understandI moved to Chicago ten years ago. As I was new to the area, I had_______ friends and seldom went out to parties. But a month later, I was invited to a party and there I _______an elderly couple.The wife and I_______ for a long time.

天水一中2015-2016学年度2015级高一第一学期第二学段段中考试英语试题（满分：100分时间：90分钟）第I卷选择题 (共50分)第一部分阅读（共两节，满分30分）第一节阅读理解（每小题2分, 共20分）AToday, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn’t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was greatly surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin’s grand entrance for a long time!1．The text is mainly about __________.A. a strange manB. an unusual partyC. how roller skating beganD. how people enjoyed themselves in the 18th century2．People thought Merlin was a dreamer because he __________.A. was full of imaginationB. was a gifted musicianC. invented the roller skatesD. often gave others surprises3．Merlin put wheels under his shoes in order to __________.A. show his skill in walking on wheelsB. arrive at the party soonerC. test his inventionD. impress the party guestsBDon’t be surprised if you see a group of peop le dancing or shouting on the square. They are a flash mob (快闪族). Confused by their name? Actually, a flash mob, organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks, is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a period of time, such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and shouting something at the top of their lungs for 30 se conds, and then quickly disappear before the police can arrive.Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy’s department store involving100 people gathering on Macy’s Department Store. Following this, about 200 people flooded the lobby of the Hyatt hotel, applauding in one voice for fifteen seconds, and next participants pretending to be tourists on a trip invaded a shoe shop in Soho. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.Wasik claimed that he created flash mobs as a social experiment designed to tease hipsters (追逐时尚的人), and highlight the cultural atmosphere of agreement and of being part of “the next big thing”. Many web logs, chat rooms and Web groups aredevoted to the craze. Though flash mobs were originally regarded as useless, the concept has already developed for the benefit of political and social events. Flash mobbing takes advantage of the efficiency of communicating information on Websites and by email, and protesters can similarly use the “on and off” concept to be involved in political events. Such flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock or frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, hundreds of Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him, gathering outside the railway station in Liverpool, singing and dancing Michael’s famous song, beat it together. In another example, some people took part in a flash mob to warn people against neg ative words. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.4. A flash mob is most likely to .A. give out leaflets of a brand bicycle to the passers-byB. gather in public places performing and leave quicklyC. plan to go mountaineering on the first day of Horse YearD. sit for days in front of the city hall for higher wages5. According to the passage, what contribute(s) most to the popularity of the flash mob?A. Harper’s MagazineB. the governmentC. political eventsD. digital networks6.The purpose of the writing is .A. to amuse and interestB. to argue and adviseC. to describe and introduceD. to question and commentCThere are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A lime­known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries.It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example，it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated（估计） to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications（暗指） of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state.Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Life­long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure：there is no time to be lost.7.The proportion（比例）of older people________.A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesB. is one seventh of the population in developing countriesC. will i ncrease much faster in China than in FranceD. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 20208．According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about? A．The diseases and disability of older people.B．The longer life and good health of people.C．The loss of taxes on older people.D．The increasing respect for older people.9．Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?A．Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B．Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C．Providing free health care for sick older people.D．Supplying life­long learning programs to older people.10．The author concludes in the last paragraph that________.A．governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem B．population ageing is a hard problem，but it needs to be solved urgently C．people are too busy to solve the population ageing problemD．much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem第二节阅读填空（每小题2分, 共10分）.根据内容, 从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
