B It was my last class before summer break, and I was finishing up the first year of a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program in poetry. Unsure if I deserved a place in the program, I worried I wasn’t as talented as my peers. When the professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle, so without much thought, I blurted out “gardening”. Surprisingly, my professor nodded and mentioned Emily Dickinson loved gardening. Emily Dickinson, a great American poet, studied plants as a child. But I was in my late twenties, lived in a New York apartment and had no gardening experience. A few days later, I was standing in line at a store and spotted some seedlings. I thought I should get something. At least I could say I had tried gardening. Wait, was that a jalapeño (墨西哥辣椒)? I picked it up. Back home, I called an urban farmer friend. He told me that jalapeños aren’t houseplants and need plenty of sunlight to thrive. I didn’t have outdoor garden space, but I had a pot, some soil and plenty of ambition. Over the summer, the plant grew, not enormous but bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn’t have a black thumb after all. I started the second year of my MFA, and then — as sometimes happens in New York — I had to move out of my apartment. I stayed with my friends for a while, and my jalapeño came with me. By the time I found my own apartment, it was almost December and my jalapeño was suffering: many of its leaves had fallen off. I set it next to a window by the kitchen sink, and hoped for the best. I continued to work hard in school. Then spring came. My jalapeño plant came back to life. It grew bigger, with new leaves. And it flowered when I submitted my graduate thesis — a book of poems — in May. I was washing some dishes one day when my professor called. “Your poems are strong,” he said. “You’ve come very far.” I’d done it! I went back to the dishes, but something was off. The flowers on my jalapeño were gone. Had I done something wrong? I peered closer. Where a flower had been, a tiny green fruit pushed through. 24. Why did the professor mention Emily Dickinson? A. To explain Dickinson’s impact. B. To introduce a literary reference. C. To justify gardening as meaningful. D. To assess the author’s confidence. 25. What does the underlined phrase “a black thumb” probably mean? A. A short and thick finger. B. A talent for farming. C. Inability to do gardening. D. Unexpected good fortune. 26. Which of the following best describe the author’s MFA journey? A. Creative but complex. B. Challenging but fulfilling. C. Systematic but eventful. D. Interesting but demanding. 27. What does the author’s experience show? A. Still waters run deep. B. Fortune favors the bold. C. Well begun is half done. D. Patience bears a golden fruit. C Each year, more than 1.2 billion cellphones are produced globally. The production of electronic devices not only is energy-intensive but also consumes valuable natural resources. Additionally, the manufacturing and delivery processes emit a significant amount of CO₂, into the atmosphere. Meanwhile, devices are aging faster than ever — users replace their still-functional cellphones on average every 2 to 3 years. At best, old devices are recycled; at worst, they end up in landfills. Although the most sustainable solution would be to change consumer behavior and consider more carefully whether the old one needs to be replaced, this is easier said than done. Therefore, alternative solutions are needed — such as giving old devices an entirely new purpose. This is precisely the approach tested by researchers Huber Flores and Yin Zhigang from the University of Tartu, along with their international colleagues. “Innovation often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old, reimagining its role in shaping the future,” explained Flores. They demonstrated that old cellphones can be successfully repurposed into tiny data centers capable of storing and efficiently processing data. They also found that building such a data center costs just around€8. In the project’s first stage, the researchers removed the phones’ batteries and replaced them with external power sources to reduce the risk of chemical leakage into the environment. Then, four phones were connected together, fitted with 3D-printed casings (壳) and holders, and transformed into a working prototype (原型) ready to be reused, fostering sustainable practices for old electronics. The prototype was then successfully tested underwater, where it participated in marine life monitoring by helping to count different marine species. Normally, these kinds of tasks require a professional diver to record videos and bring them to the surface for analysis. But with the prototype, the whole process can be done automatically underwater. These tiny data centers could also be used in urban environments like bus stops to collect real-time data on the number of passengers, which could then be used to optimize public transportation networks. Sustainability is not just about preserving the future; it’s about reimagining the present, where yesterday’s devices become tomorrow’s opportunities. 28. What are the environmental concerns associated with cellphone production? A. Causing water and soil pollution. B. High cost and technical complexity. C. Short lifespan and low recycling rates. D. High energy use and carbon emissions. 29. What is the main benefit of the cellphone-repurposing project? A. It fixes the battery leakage problem. B. It discourages buying fewer phones. C. It makes phone production greener. D. It reduces e-waste and saves resources. 30. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Evaluating the project’s commercial value. B. Describing the building and testing process. C. Explaining the prototype’s working principle. D. Highlighting the researcher’s personal efforts. 31. What can be inferred about reusing old cellphones as data centers? A. Automatic data processing is available. B. Software innovation is the main change. C. Old devices can give new functional roles. D. Data centers will replace recycling systems. D Nearly all birds with bright red, orange, and yellow feathers or bills use a group of pigments (色素) called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素) to produce their colors. However, these animals can’t make carotenoids directly. They must acquire them through their diets. Parrots and finches are the exception to this rule, having evolved an entirely new way to produce colors. Two recent separate studies on parrots and finches have provided vital insight into this mystery. One study was led by Portuguese biologist Roberto Arbore, and the other was led by Daniel Hooper. The two new studies involved large teams of international researchers. They used recent advances in genetic sequencing to examine which regions of the genome determine natural yellow-to-red colour variation in parrots and finches. Arbore’s study focused on the dusky lory, a parrot native to New Guinea with bands of feathers that may be coloured yellow, orange or red. The study found that shifts between yellow and red feather colouring were associated with an enzyme (酶) called ALDH3A2. This enzyme converts red parrot pigments to yellow ones. When developing feathers contain large amounts of the enzyme, they end up yellow; when they have less, they end up red. The long-tailed finch is a species of songbird native to northern Australia. There are two subspecies distinguished by bill colour: yellow-billed and red-billed. Most carotenoids that the birds obtain from their diets are yellow or orange, so how can they produce red colour? Hooper’s study examined the variation across the whole distribution of the long-tailed finch in the wild, and the variation in the genomes of the measured birds. It turned out that two genes, CYP2J19 and TTC39B, in these finches drive the conversion of yellow dietary carotenoids to red ones. In the long-tailed finch, yellow colouration appears to result from mutations (突变) that turn these genes off in the bill specifically, while keeping them active in other parts of the body, such as the eyes. These two new studies show how a few genes can change the course of evolution, creating a new form that looks so dramatically different. They remind us of the wonder of nature and show that evolution is an ongoing process. To conserve species, we need to protect as much of their genetic complexity as possible. 32. What makes parrots and finches special in producing colors? A. They have more enzyme called ALDH3A2. B. They depend more on dietary carotenoids. C. They display a wider range of feather colors. D. They have a unique color-production method. 33. What did Arbore’s team find about the dusky lory? A. Its feather color matches its diet. B. An enzyme’s level sets its color. C. A missing gene blocks red color. D. Mixed pigments create color. 34. What is the significance of the two studies? A. Mutations control feather colors. B. Genetic complexity traces evolution. C. Small genetic changes drive evolution. D. Birds’ environment shapes color patterns. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Colored by Genes B. Unique Bird Colors C. Diet Shapes Colors D. Colors and Climate 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way. Whether it’s personal loss, health crises, or work-related stress, difficult times are unavoidable. Resilience — the ability to bounce back from tough times — helps people navigate these stormy waters with ease. At its core, resilience is about maintaining or regaining psychological well-being in the face of adversity. 36 Cultivate a growth mindset. Those with a growth mindset are more resilient. This mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through hard work, dedication, and learning. 37 Celebrate small wins and progress, even if they’re not perfect. And learn from mistakes instead of viewing them as failures. 38 Social support is also crucial for resilience. Strong connections help individuals cope with stress, provide emotional support, and foster a sense of belonging. When you’re feeling overwhelmed, reach out to those you trust. Share your feelings, seek advice, or simply spend time with them. In times of uncertainty, it’s easy to feel helpless. 39 Make a list of fields where you can take positive action, no matter how small. Whether it’s establishing a self-care routine, or improving your sleep habits, focusing on these small steps can help you regain a sense of agency and reduce feelings of helplessness. Having a sense of purpose or meaning in life is another key factor in building resilience. Purpose can act as a motivational force, providing you with direction and clarity during challenging times. To find or reconnect with your sense of purpose, consider what values are most important to you. 40 Whether it’s personal growth or helping others, finding a greater meaning can help you get through difficult moments. A. Strengthen your social connections. B. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. C. Doing this can significantly improve mental health. D. Luckily, it can be cultivated and strengthened over time. E. Even simple activities can have profound effects on your mind. F. Engage in activities that match your passions and long-term goals. G. However, focusing on what you can control can boost your resilience. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 In 1980s Uganda, my family in Kampala had no car, so walking was part of daily life.

I was a college student taking a course on trans-cultural ministry. One morning, our group followed some local volunteers to a park where day laborers — mostly immigrants — waited each day for temporary work. We arrived in a pickup truck with bottles of water and simple breakfast to share with them. My friend Kim and I soon began talking with a Mexican man named Natal. He looked to be in his forties, with long black hair, a worn T-shirt, and faded jeans. Beside him lay a large backpack and a rolled-up sleeping bag. Although he spoke very little English and we knew even less Spanish, our conversation flowed surprisingly well. We chatted about finding work, artwork, and even the history of Santa Fe. Natal spoke proudly of his “beautiful home,” which I first imagined as a small mountain house. Only later did I realize he meant something very different. Natal excitedly told us about his travels across the United States and Canada, taking odd jobs wherever he could. But he especially loved Santa Fe. “The forest and mountains here are stunning. Beauty is important,” he said with a grin. Then he invited us to visit his home, saying it was only a twenty-minute walk away. Eventually we understood that his “home” was a clearing under the trees, where he unrolled his sleeping bag and slept beneath the stars. Still, he eagerly wanted to share its freshness and peace with us. As we chatted more, a deep awareness of my own privilege settled over me. I thought of my comfortable apartment in Cleveland and all the complaints I made about it. Compared to Natal’s “home”, I suddenly felt childish. If I was amazed by his appreciation for everything he had, I was completely shocked by what happened next. I have always hated socks and it was a warm June day, so I was wearing my sneakers with no socks. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In the midst of conversation, Natal noticed that I had no socks on my feet. I was absolutely astonished and humbled by this brand new pair of socks. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 渭南市2026届高三教学质量检测（Ⅰ） 英语参考答案 第一部分：听力（共两节，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 1-5 ABAAB 6-10 BCCAC 11-15 ABCCB 16-20 BCABC 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 21-23 BDC 24-27 CCBD 28-31 DDBC 32-35 DBCA 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36-40 DBAGF 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41-45 ABDAD 46-50 ABCBD 51-55 DCCBD 第二节：（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56. titled 57. patriotic 58. featuring 59. fifth 60. to honor 61. individuals 62. which 63. has become 64. with 65. and 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 参考范文： Dear Aron, I’m planning to start a short-video account to introduce China to foreign friends.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 读后续写： In the midst of conversation, Natal noticed that I had no socks on my feet. He stared for a moment, then looked up at me with a mixture of concern and amusement. Without a word, he bent down and searched through his weather-beaten backpack. I tried to tell him I was perfectly fine, but he shook his head firmly, as if he knew better. After a moment, he pulled out a small plastic bag, and carefully opened it. Inside lay a neatly wrapped pair of thick, gray socks — far nicer than anything I ever imagined he would carry. I was absolutely astonished and humbled by this brand new pair of socks. They were clearly something he had saved for a moment. I tried to refuse him, explaining that he should keep them for himself, but he insisted with a gentle seriousness. As he placed them in my hands, I felt a wave of gratitude mixed with shame. Here was a man who owned almost nothing, yet offered generosity far beyond anything I had ever shown. His gift stayed with me long after that summer, reminding me that true hospitality often comes from those with the least. 听力原文 Text 1 康复后回归训练 M: It’s good to see you back after your injury.

W: My name is Margaret Black. I work for the local city animal hospital. (15) Someone brought a cat in off the street that needed urgent care. When we tried to check its background, we found that you were the owner. M: I’m afraid there must be some mistake. I don’t have any pets. In fact, I’m allergic (过敏的) to cats.

(18) It is so peaceful here. I love the feel of the sun shining on me and the wind blowing through my branches and leaves. (18)(19) I used to have lots of friends around me, but then the humans came and took many of them away to make room for a road. I was one of the lucky ones that did not get much affected. However, the quiet and peaceful calm of the forest is almost replaced by the noise of thousands of machines. They create such pollution. We few who remain try to take it all in to help the planet, but we can only do so much. Sometimes it is quiet, often later at night or in winter when it’s snowing hard and the car drivers can’t see through the snow. It’s in these moments of peace that I imagine the forest is full of life again, (20) not just with colorful plants and other trees but all the animals and birds that used to call this place home. Perhaps one day the road will disappear, and the forest will one day return. I look forward to that day. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
