2026年英语中考倒计时250天-每日阅读一卷 Day 8 一、阅读理解（共25小题，每小题2分，共50分） A Do you know anything about polar bears (北极熊)? Here are some interesting facts about these fascinating animals.   Polar bears are the largest land carnivores in the world, with adult (成年) males weighing up to 1,500 pounds and standing up to 10 feet tall. They are excellent swimmers and have been known for swimming for long distances (距离) in search of food. They can swim at speeds of up to 6 miles an hour, and can also swim underwater for up to 2 minutes at a time. Polar bears live in the Arctic throughout Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Russia, and are well used to their icy habitat (栖息地). They have thick fur to keep them warm, and black skin that helps them take in the sun’s heat. Polar bears mainly eat seals. They hunt by waiting near the surface (表面) of the water or near breathing holes in the ice and quickly getting their “food” with their powerful jaws (下巴). ▲ As sea ice melts (融化), it becomes harder for polar bears to find enough food to live on. Besides, they are in great danger because of pollution (污染) and hunting. 1．What can we know about polar bears from Paragraphs 2 and 3? A．They’re the largest sea carnivores in the world.

C．It’s important for us to find out what causes the pollution in the Arctic. D．Polar bears are endangered (濒危的) due to climate (气候) change and losing homes. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1) A． B． C． D． 5．What can we get from this passage? A．The baby polar bears can weigh up to 1,500 pounds. B．People can’t find polar bears in Russia today.

However, his family was so poor that he never had the chance to learn it. He hoped his daughter, Xiaoyu, could become a great painter in the future. When Xiaoyu was only three, her dad found the best art teacher for her. At first, with the teacher’s help, Xiaoyu improved a lot. As time went by, she found that she had no interest in painting. She loved dancing instead. However, in order to make her dad pleased, she kept painting every day. When Xiaoyu was twelve, her school held a painting competition (比赛). Xiaoyu prepared for it day and night, hoping to win first prize. However, it turned out that she didn’t get any prizes. She couldn’t help crying. Her teacher, Mrs Wang, came over and asked gently, “Xiaoyu, what’s wrong?” “Painting is my dad’s lifelong dream.

But what’s your dream?” Mrs Wang asked. “I love dancing more than anything else.” Xiaoyu answered. “Maybe you should have a talk with your dad.” Mrs Wang suggested. After dinner, Xiaoyu talked to her dad, “Dad, I’m sorry I didn’t win any prizes. I don’t want to let you down but I’m afraid painting isn’t what I love. I think I’m more interested in dancing.” Her dad didn’t say anything for a while. Finally, he hugged her and said, “Xiaoyu, follow your heart and do what you like.

C Is the Internet good or bad? It’s always a hot topic in our daily life. Different people may have different answers. Since the Internet came into being, it brought us pleasure and tears. Today, let’s take a look at some things that are disappearing as the Internet grows up. When modern people need to record some important things quickly, they don’t find a pen and a piece of paper to write, but to open their mobile phone or computer to record. As a result, it’s common for many people to “pick up the pen but forget words”. Perhaps, in a few years, will pen and paper disappear? As people more and more lose themselves in the online world, the real-looking photos disappear and you can only watch the beautiful pictures on the Internet. If one day you send a real (真实的) photo in your circle of friends, others will even think if it is a photo to make fun of. Now everyone can get digital (数字的) maps in a few seconds by using computers or mobile phones. They are easy and fast for users. Do you remember the last time to look at a paper map? After a busy day for the whole family, people used to watch TV together, share information and express feelings. Nowadays, at home, a person with a mobile phone is the whole world. 11．How do people record anything important now? A．By sticking it on the wall. B．By writing it on the paper. C．By remembering it in mind. D．By using the mobile phone or computer. 12．Which of the following best describes (描述) most photos online now? A．Funny and true. B．Beautiful but not real. C．Ugly but true. D．Wonderful but not perfect. 13．What does the underlined word “They” refer (指代) to in the fifth paragraph? A．Computers. B．Mobile phones. C．Digital maps. D．Paper maps. 14．What’s the structure (结构) of the text? A．①/②/③④⑤⑥ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥ C．①②/③④⑤/⑥ D．①/②③/④⑤⑥ 15．After reading the text, what can you infer (推断)? A．Most people think the Internet is good. B．The paper maps aren’t useful since they appear. C．People don’t need to learn how to write the words now. D．People prefer playing with the mobile phone instead of talking with families. D 根据对话内容，从下面选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两个为多余选项。 A: Happy Thanksgiving, Jerry! B: Li Hua, the same to you! 16 A: I don’t know. All my friends are going home to celebrate it. What are you going to do? B: I’m going to Ann’s home. 17 A: I’d love to go, thanks. B: That’s wonderful. 18 A: Could you tell me something about it? B: Sure. 19 We always have lots of delicious food, like turkey, corn, carrots and so on. A: That sounds like a big dinner, just like what we have during the Spring Festival. 20 B: Me, too.

E 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 There are many holidays and festivals. Dads have Father’s Day. Mums have Mother’s Day. But do our grandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do! The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents. There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus. Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old. In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休), they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well. Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts (打折) in stores and restaurants. But Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’ home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect. 21．When is the Double Ninth Festival? 22．How many ways in which Chinese people express their respect are mentioned? 23．What can the young learn from older people? 24．How do Western grown children show their respect? 25．What will you do to show your respect to your grandparents? 二、完形填空(10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Hello!
