Besides“wow” and“great”, what else would you say when flying over the Earth in space? Samantha Cristoforetti, the first Italian female astronaut in space, posted several lines of a famous ancient Chinese composition on Twitter to share her joy.

She first wrote in Chinese, and then attached an accurate translation of the lines in both Italian and English to help more people understand. “Looking up,I see the immensity of the cosmos; bowing my head, I look at the multitude of the world. The gaze flies, the heart expands, the joy of the senses can reach its peak, and indeed, this is true happiness,”it says. Two days before she landed on Earth, the beauty of space and Chinese literature resonated on her Twitter account. Before long, her posts went viral on Twitter with thousands of retweets, likes and replies.

The text she quoted is from the Preface to Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion,a Chinese calligraphy masterpiece by Wang Xizhi (303-361) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420). She also attached three photos taken

2023届高三湖北十一校第一次联考   英语试题   第4页(共12页)

in space of China's Bohai Bay and the day-night view of Beijing. “The poem and views are both magnificent as well as healing. If everyone could enjoy the same sight, a lot of pain in the world would be ‘dissipated’,” one user comments.

As the first Italian female astronaut in space, Cristoforetti carried out her first space mission on Nov 23,2014.In 2022, she started the second mission in April and returned to Earth on Friday night after a 127-day stay in orbit.

Cristoforetti has also been active in Sino-European cooperation in the field of manned spaceflight. She was a working group member with Chinese counterparts to define and implement cooperation in the field of astronaut operations. When not traveling for work, she is an eager reader and has a great passion for languages. Speaking clear Chinese, Cristoforetti once told the media that the teams from China and Europe were working very well together in the field of astronaut training.

24. What is the result of Cristoforetti's post online?

A. The birth of a masterpiece.         B.A trend ofjourney to space.

A. Relieved.                          B. Caused.

Scientists have successfully implanted and integrated human brain cells into newborn rats, creating a new way to study complex psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia (精神分裂症), and perhaps eventually test treatments.

Scientists can assemble small sections of human brain tissue made from stem cells in a special container. But

2023届高三湖北十一校第一次联考   英语试题   第5页(共12页)

in such a container,“neurons(神经元) don’t grow to the size, to which a human neuron in an actual human brain would grow,” said Sergiu Pasca, the study’s lead author from Stanford University. To overcome such restrictions,researchers implanted the groupings of human brain cells, called organoids, into the brains of young rats.

Human neurons have also been implanted into adult rats before, but an animal's brain stops developing at a certain age, limiting how well implanted cells can integrate. “By transplanting them at these early stages, we found that these organoids can grow relatively large and receive nutrients, and they can cover about a third of a rat's brain,”said Pasca.

To test how well the human neurons integrated with the rat brains and bodies, air was blown out across the animals’ whiskers, which prompted electrical activity in the human neurons. That showed that external ·stimulation of the rat's body was processed by the human brain tissue.

The scientists then conducted another test in the opposite order: They implanted human brain cells which could respond to blue light, and then trained the rats to expect a “reward”of water from a pipe when blue light shone on the neurons via a cable in the animals' brain. After two weeks, they found pulsing the blue light sent the rats scrambling to the pipe.

The team has now used the technique to show that organoids developed from patients with Timothy syndrome grow more slowly and display less electrical activity than those from healthy people.

Tara Spires-Jones, a professor at the University of Edinburgh's UK Dementia Research Institute, said the work“has the potential to advance what we know about psychiatric disorders.”

28. Why did scientists research on rats instead of the special container?

A. Because psychiatric disorders are too complex.

B. Because rats also suffer similar psychiatric illnesses.

C. Because it limits the growth of human brain neurons.

D. Because human brain neurons grow too quickly in it.

29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?

A. Rats'age has a significant influence on the research.

B. Human brain cells can't be implanted into adult rats.

C. Rats' brain won't develop if they receive human neurons.

D. Human neurons can grow larger in adult rats' brain than young rats'.

30. Why did the researchers carry out one more test?

A. To train rats to respond to external stimulations.

B. To show similarities between rats and human tissues.

C. To confirm human brain cells could grow well in rats'brains.

D. To check whether signals could be sent back to rats'body.

2023届高三湖北十一校第一次联考   英语试题   第6页(共12页)

31. What is the significance of the research?

A. It can advance more experiments on rats.

B. It can further our study of psychiatric illnesses.

C. It can provide some useful experimental methods.

D. It can promote our knowledge of human brain cells.

Before the age of the smartphone, not everyone had cameras and it took skills and a good eye to capture and create a great photograph. Today, with the huge range of camera apps on our smartphones, we're all amateur photographers, and pretty good ones at that, since the quality of smartphone images now nearly equals that of digital cameras.

The new ease of photography has given us a tremendous appetite for capturing the magical and the ordinary.We are obsessed with documenting everyday moments, whether it's a shot of our breakfast, our cat—or the cat’s breakfast.

Cameras are everywhere-- a situation that is transforming the way we experience dramatic events. With cameras observing most urban centers, have we gotten to the point where cameras don't need photographers and photographers don't even need cameras? When there are political events or natural disasters, it is ordinary citizens with cell phones--not photojournalists—who often provide the first news images. Quality still matters,but it's less important than what's relevant and instantly shared.

Before digital images, most people trusted photographs to accurately reflect reality. Yet photography has always more stories than we assume. Each picture is a result of a series of decisions—where to stand, what lens to use, what to leave in and out of the frame. Images can also be colored, brightened, faded, and scratched to make photographs more artistic, or to give them an antique look. Such images may be more useful in communicating how the people behind the camera felt than in documenting what was actually in front of the camera.

It's not clear whether this flowering of image making will lead to a public that better appreciates and understands images or simply numb us to the deep effects a well-made image can have. But the change is unavoidable. Perhaps we are witnessing the development of a universal visual language, one that could change the way we relate to each other and the world. Of course, as with any language, there will be those who produce poetry and those who make shopping lists.

2023届高三湖北十一校第一次联考   英语试题   第7页(共12页)

32. What makes us all amateur photographers?

A. That it takes no skills to take photographs.

B. That cell phones provide great convenience.

C. That we are more attracted to creating images.

D. That professional standards appear to be falling.

33. How are digital cameras changing our life?

A. Photographers don't need a camera at all.

B. We may get the latest images more easily.

C. Natural disasters can be detected in advance.

D. People pay more attention to the quality of photos.

34. What is Paragraph4 mainly about?

A. The creative functions of camera apps.

B. The attractive features of digital images.

C. The subjective factors behind photographs.

D. The negative reviews about artistic images.

35. What can we learn about“visual language” in the last paragraph?

A. It can be both used in writing poetry and shopping.

B. It will contribute to our ability to appreciate images.

C. It has a great influence on the development of the universe.

D. It offers us a new tool of communication to express ourselves.

People are taught how to speak, but good sentence structure and a wide range of vocabulary words won't always lead to being understood or understanding others.36     

The good news is that it's never too late to learn how to communicate more effectively. The first step is to realize you' re having communication issues.      37      The following is a list of the top three signs that you need to learn healthier communication skills.

You have the same fights over and over.

Your fights are about the same topic again and again. If this is happening, it means you don't yet have the skills to resolve conflicts._38_The fight may end, but it's only a matter of time before you argue about the same thing again. When you learn how to resolve conflicts, issues don't pile up or become baggage that weighs down your relationship.

2023届高三湖北十一校第一次联考   英语试题   第8页(共12页)

39

You don't want to fight so you try not to bring up subjects that lead only to pain and disconnection. The problem is that avoiding them leads to pain and disconnection anyway. Unless you learn how to have hard conversations productively, you will get more and more disconnected until your relationship is in danger of ending.

You regularly feel misunderstood or unheard.

No matter how hard you try, you don't feel understood. Perhaps your partner has expressed the same feeling.Over time the disconnected feeling does damage to your relationship. It's important to learn how to communicate in a better way, so that both you and the other person feel heard and understood.      40      To be heard, your partner will need to learn how to listen. For you, to be able to hear your partner, you will need to do the same.

A. You avoid discussing certain topics.

B. You argue with your partners about some issues.

C. If you can't resolve issues, they will continue to show up.

D. This requires more than just speaking to your partner or vice versa.

E. Then, you can learn how to communicate in a more productive way.

F. If you leave conflicts unsettled, you will feel disconnected and lonely.

G. Effective communication requires much more than being able to speak.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I first became conscious of my body image last year in fifth grade. One day I was walking by my mirror getting ready for bed and I noticed that my stomach looked big. I started to really hate that and think I was fat even though my family always told me how skinny I was. It wasn't only my stomach—I started to think my nose was ugly and that my laugh was disgusting.I was even afraid to laugh or smile in public.

Then, in the sixth grade, a popular guy in my class named Luke made it worse. He told his table group that my body looked swollen in skinny jeans. I heard about it from someone else, but then Luke even told me to my face!I couldn't stop thinking about what Luke had said. Even worse, I started to believe it was true, and I hid my skinny jeans all the way at the bottom of my drawer.

I know I cared too much about what other people said and thought about me. I guess I just wanted to be liked. In fact,I really wish I could have just brushed off comments like that, but I couldn't change my personality and what I care about that easily.

2023届高三湖北十一校第一次联考   英语试题第11页(共12页)

Luke's mean comment affected me in a big way. I lost confidence in more than just my body—I started to think that I didn't matter and that I didn't have a place in the world. To make it worse, some people also started telling me that I was not meant to be an author, which is what I really want to be. That especially hurt and I started to feel really sad all the time.

I hadn't really told anyone how I’d been feeling until a couple of months ago when I got a call from my cousin. I'm really close to her, and hearing her voice and laugh made me feel so good inside. I thought about how I used to be that way too, and how I was so sick of feeling sad.
