2026年英语中考倒计时250天-每日阅读一卷 Day 9 一、阅读理解(共25小题,每小题2分,共50分) A What do you usually do on a vacation? Do you know glamping (豪华露营)? It is a new way of camping among young Chinese. Traditional camping often lets people sleep in simple tents, but glamping makes comfortable beds and chairs, bathrooms, kitchens and other things available to people. 27-year-old Yoga Song is a glamping lover. In April, 2021, Song took her first glamping trip in Zhongwei, Ningxia. Zhongwei has many attractions (景区), such as the Yellow River, parts of the Great Wall and old villages. Many good hotels are also available in the city. But when Song got there, she decided to try something different—glamping. Song’s special glamping tent was just 10 meters away from the Yellow River. Cows and sheep came by her tent from time to time. At night, Song could see the sky filled with stars. It was quiet and beautiful. And inside the tent, Song could sleep well. She enjoyed the trip very much. After the trip to Zhongwei, Song started to take more glamping trips in China. “Some of my friends can just go camping in the mountains with only a backpack,” Song said. “That is too hard for me. I want to get close to nature, but I can’t give up the comfort (舒适) of life.” For many young people, glamping is just the right activity for vacations. They can enjoy the fresh air and beautiful nature with basic sanitary (卫生的) conditions and comfortable living conditions. Maybe that’s why glamping has become so popular. 1.How does the writer start the passage? A.By asking questions. B.By telling stories. C.By listing numbers.

B AI and Our Lives Artificial Intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is changing the way we live and work. Many people use AI in their daily lives. For example, smart speakers (智能音箱) like Alexa or Google Home can answer questions and play music. These devices (设备) use AI to understand and respond to (回应) voice commands (语音指令). AI is also helpful in education. Some apps use AI to help students learn. They can provide personalized (个性化的) lessons based on (基于) a student’s progress. For example, an AI-powered app might give more difficult math problems to a student who is doing well or offer extra practice to someone who needs help. In healthcare, AI can help doctors in diagnosing (诊断) diseases. By studying medical images (图像), AI systems can find patterns that humans might miss. This helps make faster and more correct diagnoses. However, AI cannot replace (取代) doctors. It is just a tool to support them. Many people worry about AI taking away jobs. While it’s true that some jobs may be automated (自动化的) in the future, AI can also create new chances. For example, developing and maintaining (维护) AI systems (系统) requires skilled workers, so new jobs in technology will appear. Is AI safe? Some experts say we need to be careful. They worry about AI being used for harmful purposes, like creating deepfakes (深度伪造品). But others believe that with proper rules and controls, AI can be a force (力量) for good. 根据语篇内容做出判断,正确选A,错误选B,未提及选C。(未提及表示在语篇中没有提到句中信息) 6.Smart speakers use AI to understand voice commands. 7.AI apps only provide easy lessons for all students. 8.AI can completely replace doctors in healthcare. 9.AI has already taken away most jobs in factories. 10.Deepfakes are mentioned as a potential (潜在的) risk (风险) of AI. C Carl Allamby started his auto repair business at the age of 19. Over the years it had grown into two shops with 11 employees, but Allamby started to expect something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further. So, at the age of 34, Allamby enrolled (注册) in a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in business management. There was one problem: after taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take a biology course to get his degree. “Why do I need to take biology?” he thought. However, the best influence of this requirement is that it restarted his childhood dream. “I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger,” Allamby says. “I lost that dream somewhere through high school and life.” He grew up in a poor neighbourhood, and his school didn’t offer the advanced science classes. So he had no chance to study at medical school. Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic career path—fixing cars, which helped support his family. But at age 39 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to become a healthcare worker. “Becoming a doctor when I am nearly 50 was crazy. I will become a nurse like my wife,” he thought. But Allamby’s biology professor stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the oldest guy here. What’s your endgame?” Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical to aim lower. “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work,” the professor said. “I didn’t even see in myself if my professor hadn’t told me that,” Allamby says. And so, in 2015, Allamby sold his two shops and started medical school at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Dr Carl Allamby. He now works as an emergency medicine doctor at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital. “How many people can do something new at such a late stage in their life?” he asks. “My kids look up to me, my community looks up to me. Whether it’s because of my age or my past career—these are all reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 11.What did Allamby enroll in a bachelor’s degree for at age 34? A.To develop his business. B.To take part-time jobs. C.To take a biology course. D.To learn to be a doctor. 12.Why did Allamby choose to fix cars at first? A.To accept the school’s requirement. B.To escape being a doctor. C.To serve his neighbourhood. D.To make a living. 13.What does the underlined “to aim lower” mean in Paragraph 4? A.To live his dream. B.To be a doctor. C.To take science classes. D.To be a healthcare worker. 14.What’s Allamby’s attitude towards the professor? A.Doubtful. B.Patient. C.Thankful. D.Sorry. 15.Which can be used to describe Allamby? A.A bookworm. B.A dream-follower. C.A survivor. D.A pioneer. D 根据对话内容,从下面选出恰当的句子补全对话,有一个选项是多余的。 (Ann asks Eric for help about how to choose the right clubs. A=Ann, B=Eric) A: Hi, Eric!

E Family is important for everyone, no matter if you are from China or abroad. So in both East and West, we have festivals to celebrate family reunions. These festivals include Mid-Autumn Festival in China and Thanksgiving in the US. How are they celebrated and what are the differences? Let’s take a look. Sharing the moonlight With delicious moon cakes hitting the shops, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives. It’s on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. In ancient China, the day was considered a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain had been collected from the fields. The full moon is a symbol of family reunions (tuanyuan means reunion in Chinese, with yuan meaning round). Chinese people celebrate by coming together to eat, drink and be happy. On the day, food offerings (供品) are traditionally placed at altars (供桌) set up in old yards. Mooncakes are a special festival food. When it gets dark, people look up at the full moon and drink wine to celebrate or remember friends and relatives who are far from home. “Though miles apart, could men but live forever dreaming they shared this moonlight endlessly” (但愿人长久,千里共婵娟) wrote Song Dynasty poet Su Shi. Showing our thanks Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November. The first Thanksgiving was in the autumn of 1621. About 100 English people took a ship, the Mayflower, to a place they named Plymouth in the northeastern US. The winter there was very cold and life was difficult. The American Indians (印第安人) helped them a lot. The English people invited the American Indians to have a big meal to thank them for all of their help. The celebration lasted for three days. Today, people usually have a family meal on Thanksgiving. They enjoy delicious food such as pumpkins, corn and a big, golden turkey. There are other traditions on the day. For example, the turkey has a V-shaped bone in the breast. It’s called a wishbone. After roasting, two people each take one end of the bone. They make a wish and then pull. If you get the larger part of the bone, you will get good luck. The most important part of Thanksgiving is to say “thanks”—this is the spirit of the holiday. People also like to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade (游行) on TV or play American football. 21.When does the Mid-Autumn Festival take place according to the Chinese lunar calendar? 22.What does the full moon symbolize during the Mid-Autumn Festival? 23.How did English people go to Plymouth in 1621? 24.Will people get good luck if they get the larger part of a wishbone? 25.What is the same about the meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival and Thanksgiving? 二、完形填空(10小题,每小题1分,共10分) It was a Sunday afternoon.
