Cambridge Dictionary has put it out to the universe, naming “manifest” as its word of the year for 2024.
Popularized by celebrities such as singer Dua Lipa, “manifest” refers to the practice of using methods such as visualization (可视化) and affirmation (肯定) to help you imagine achieving something you want, in the belief that doing so will make it more likely to happen.
Lipa has spoken about how she thinks manifestation has played a part in her success, helping to bring about key moments in her career, such as playing at the Glastonbury Festival this year. “If you set an intention, you think about it every single day of your life, and for me, Glastonbury for example, when I first started making music I dreamed about the day that I would get asked to headline Glastonbury,” she said in an interview in April. “That in a way is setting that idea, that intention in the back of my mind,” she added. “I think it’s powerful.”
Taken from Latin and French, in English the word “manifest” originally meant “easily noticed or obvious” before it started to be used as a verb meaning “to show something clearly”. In the early 20th century it started to be used to mean “to make something happen by internalizing it, intentionally or unintentionally,” according to Cambridge Dictionary. This year marked manifesting’s move into the wider public consciousness. It jumped from being mainly used in the self-help community and on social media to being mentioned widely across mainstream media. The dictionary said the word has been looked up nearly 130,000 times on its website, becoming one of its most viewed entries.
Wendalyn Nichols, Cambridge Dictionary’s publishing manager, said the word of the year pick is based on “user data, zeitgeist (时代思潮) and language”. “Manifest won this year because it increased notably in lookups, its use widened greatly across all types of media, and it shows how the meanings of a word can change over time,” said the British dictionary publisher.
4. According to Dua Lipa, what does “manifest” mean
A. Setting up one goal every day. B. Writing songs about her dreams.
C. Visualizing her goal thoroughly in mind. D. Sharing her performances on social media.
5. How does Dua Lipa feel about the action of manifesting
A. Disappointed. B. Challenged. C. Refreshed. D. Motivated.
6. What is the main focus of paragraph 4 regarding the word “manifest”
A. Its evolving usage and rising popularity. B. Its complete change in meaning.
C. Its Latin and French origins. D. Its rich entries in the dictionary.
7. What has contributed to “manifest” being named Word of the Year according to the passage
A. Its dynamic development. B. Its users among celebrities.
C. Its growth in self-help communities. D. Its influence on language learners.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A

You’re probably aware that your coffee drink or bakery is loaded with sugar. But did you know that large amounts of added sugar are also in your breakfast cereal (谷类食物), dairy-free milk alternative and even takeout fried chicken
“Americans are simply consuming too much sugar,” says Frank Hu, a professor of nutrition. Most people consume three times the recommended daily limit of sugar. And it’s not just a harmless habit.
Even if you’ve gotten the message that too much sugar isn’t good for your health and are taking steps to cut back, like switching to “low-sugar” baked goods and diet soda, you haven’t solved the issue and you may have created a new problem.
Since the 1990s, aspartame (阿斯巴甜代糖也称人工甜味剂) has been widely used as a sugar substitute (替代品) in products such as diet drinks, yogurt and breakfast cereal. But the sweetener has come under thorough examination following a July 2023 statement from the International Agency for Research on Cancer that officially classified aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic (致癌的) to humans.”
So what’s the answer Ultimately, we need to rethink our relationship with the sweet stuff. For the most part, the sugars that naturally occur in an apple, a sweet potato or a glass of milk aren’t an issue. It’s the sugar introduced during the manufacturing of a jarred pasta sauce or when you stir a spoonful of sugar into your coffee, for example, that’s harming your health.
When you eat or drink something with added sugar, your blood sugar and insulin (胰岛素) rise sharply. On the other hand, when you chew a bowl of fresh berries, the whole fruit contains fiber and other compounds that slow how quickly the sugar is digested, so your blood sugar doesn’t rise in the same way.
Definitely, consuming not only less added sugar but also sugar substitutes over time is bound to make your life a whole lot sweeter.
8. What can we probably infer in paragraph 1
A. The writer shows his own puzzle. B. People ignore an issue about sugar.
C. People take action to give up sugar. D. Bakery has less sugar than dairy-free milk.
9. Which food or drink may do less harm to our health in the text
A. Breakfast cereal. B. Diet drinks. C. Coffee drink. D. A sweet potato.
10. Why do people fail to consume less sugar
A. More sugary snacks are produced. B. Foods without sugar pose more health risks.
C. Sugar substitutes exist in many foods and drinks. D. Compounds in sugar are reported to be carcinogenic.
11. Which is the most suitable title according to the text
A. Aspartame Should replace sugar B. The Bitter Truth About Sugar
C. Keep Away From Sugar D. Sugar Talks Sweetly
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
D
Many of the astronauts going up to space are among the smartest people on the planet. However, a new NASA study has found a surprising effect of space travel — it may actually slow down the human brain.
Contrary to what you might expect, researchers discovered that while space travelers orbit the Earth, they experience some temporary mental slowdowns, including processing information slower and difficulties with attention and memory.
Luckily, the study also finds spending months in space doesn’t permanently scramble (打乱) an astronaut’s cognitive (认知的) abilities. Their overall brain performance remains remarkably resilient (有适应力的).
The study examined 25 professional astronauts who spent an average of six months aboard the International Space Station. Scientists tracked their cognitive performance through a series of rigorous (谨慎的) tests designed to measure everything from processing speed to memory and attention. “We show that there is no evidence of any significant cognitive impairment or neurodegenerative decline in astronauts spending six months on the ISS,” explains Dr. Sheena Dev, the study’s lead researcher, in a media release.
So what exactly changed Think of it like your brain running in “low power mode”. Astronauts completed tasks just as accurately as they would on Earth, but they took slightly longer to process information. Processing speed, working memory, and attention were the most affected cognitive fields — similar to how you might feel after a stressful day without enough sleep. The most interesting but unusual finding is how quickly the brain adapts. Some performance changes, like slower attention spans, were only noticeable early in the mission. Others, like reduced processing speed, took a bit longer to return to normal after the astronauts returned to Earth.
These insights are more than just scientific curiosity. As humanity looks toward ambitious missions to the Moon and Mars, understanding how the human brain responds to extreme environments becomes crucial. This research provides a baseline for future space explorers, helping mission planners predict and reduce potential cognitive challenges.
12. How may astronauts perform during space travel
A. They take longer to respond to the tasks. B. They complete tasks as quickly as on earth.
C. Their cognitive abilities are damaged heavily. D. They spend years recovering their physical health
13. What does the underlined word “impairment” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Improvement. B. Damage. C. Development. D. Change.
14. What can we learn from the passage
A. Astronauts’ cognitive abilities remain stable wherever they are.
B. Astronauts’ performance in space is much worse than that on Earth.
C. Astronauts’ attention spans were always slower in the space.
D. Astronauts’ brain performance can return to normal later
15. What does the last paragraph mainly about
A. The later plans for space missions. B. The development of cognitive study.
C. The significance of the study. D. The future of space exploration.
【答案】12 A 13. B 14. D 15. C

Benefits for Your Spirit
In many ways, hobbies make us happier. People who made a conscious effort each day to spend time doing hobbies showed an average boost of 8% in wellbeing and a 10% drop in stress and anxiety. ____20____.

The Turning Point
The bright stadium lights shone on my face as I rushed past two defenders, my heart beating fast. Just before someone tried to take the ball, I saw Jamie standing free near the goal, waiting for my pass. But I didn’t because this was my kingdom to show my talent for football. Unfortunately, the ball was taken from me, and the other team quickly scored. Coach Nick blew his whistle loudly. His anger felt as cold as the winter wind.
Nick seemed disappointed with me. He repeatedly stressed that football was not individual heroism but teamwork. I agreed but I believed in my individual abilities much more. After his repeated attempts to educate me failed, I got moved to the bench (板凳) team.
Six weeks later, I went home after another benching session, kicking stones along the sidewalk. Mom found me upset at the backyard fence. “Help me trim (修剪) the vine (紫藤),” she said, handing me tools without meeting my eyes. As we worked, my anger poured out. “They just hate that I’m fast. Nick is blind to my talent”. “Look at this plant,” Mom cut in, touching a part of the plant that were damaging the fence by growing too tightly around the fence. The vine looked weak, dying because they grew too wildly. “These vines need support,” she said, breaking a dead branch. “But if they grow too strong alone.” She pointed to healthy vines growing together. “See Their roots share food underground. Together, they grow best.”
Mum’s words hit me like a bad football move. That night, I watched our team videos over and over again. I saw many times when passing chances appeared clearly, but I was too selfish to notice.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；

This time I was determined to prove myself.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next day, I went to the court as usual. During practice, I focused entirely on observing my teammates’ positions. When Jason broke through the defense line, I immediately passed the ball to him instead of attempting risky dribbling. Coach Nick nodded slightly, though his expression remained stern. After training, I approached Coach Nick for a heart-to-heart talk. I frankly admitted my previous shortcomings and asked for another chance to prove myself on the field. Thankfully, Nick agreed. I eventually earned my starting position back. When the long-awaited monthly tournament arrived, I stood shoulder-to-shoulder with my teammates, ready to face our opponents not as a lone wolf, but as part of a united pack.
This time I was determined to prove myself. The real test came on Friday. With scores tied at 2-2 in the final minute, I received the ball near the corner flag. Jamie was making a perfect run towards the penalty area, completely unmarked. Without hesitation, I sent a curved cross soaring through the air. The ball landed precisely at Jamie’s feet, and his powerful volley sent the entire stadium into deafening cheers. As my teammates rushed to hug us, I finally understood what true strength meant. Individual brilliance might win momentary applause, but only teamwork could create everlasting victories.2025年东北三省四市教研联合体高考模拟考试(二)

Cambridge Dictionary has put it out to the universe, naming “manifest” as its word of the year for 2024.
Popularized by celebrities such as singer Dua Lipa, “manifest” refers to the practice of using methods such as visualization (可视化) and affirmation (肯定) to help you imagine achieving something you want, in the belief that doing so will make it more likely to happen.
Lipa has spoken about how she thinks manifestation has played a part in her success, helping to bring about key moments in her career, such as playing at the Glastonbury Festival this year. “If you set an intention, you think about it every single day of your life, and for me, Glastonbury for example, when I first started making music I dreamed about the day that I would get asked to headline Glastonbury,” she said in an interview in April. “That in a way is setting that idea, that intention in the back of my mind,” she added. “I think it’s powerful.”
Taken from Latin and French, in English the word “manifest” originally meant “easily noticed or obvious” before it started to be used as a verb meaning “to show something clearly”. In the early 20th century it started to be used to mean “to make something happen by internalizing it, intentionally or unintentionally,” according to Cambridge Dictionary. This year marked manifesting’s move into the wider public consciousness. It jumped from being mainly used in the self-help community and on social media to being mentioned widely across mainstream media. The dictionary said the word has been looked up nearly 130,000 times on its website, becoming one of its most viewed entries.
Wendalyn Nichols, Cambridge Dictionary’s publishing manager, said the word of the year pick is based on “user data, zeitgeist (时代思潮) and language”. “Manifest won this year because it increased notably in lookups, its use widened greatly across all types of media, and it shows how the meanings of a word can change over time,” said the British dictionary publisher.
4. According to Dua Lipa, what does “manifest” mean
A. Setting up one goal every day. B. Writing songs about her dreams.
C. Visualizing her goal thoroughly in mind. D. Sharing her performances on social media.
5. How does Dua Lipa feel about the action of manifesting
A. Disappointed. B. Challenged. C. Refreshed. D. Motivated.
6. What is the main focus of paragraph 4 regarding the word “manifest”
A. Its evolving usage and rising popularity. B. Its complete change in meaning.
C. Its Latin and French origins. D. Its rich entries in the dictionary.
7. What has contributed to “manifest” being named Word of the Year according to the passage
A. Its dynamic development. B. Its users among celebrities.
C. Its growth in self-help communities. D. Its influence on language learners.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A

You’re probably aware that your coffee drink or bakery is loaded with sugar. But did you know that large amounts of added sugar are also in your breakfast cereal (谷类食物), dairy-free milk alternative and even takeout fried chicken
“Americans are simply consuming too much sugar,” says Frank Hu, a professor of nutrition. Most people consume three times the recommended daily limit of sugar. And it’s not just a harmless habit.
Even if you’ve gotten the message that too much sugar isn’t good for your health and are taking steps to cut back, like switching to “low-sugar” baked goods and diet soda, you haven’t solved the issue and you may have created a new problem.
Since the 1990s, aspartame (阿斯巴甜代糖也称人工甜味剂) has been widely used as a sugar substitute (替代品) in products such as diet drinks, yogurt and breakfast cereal. But the sweetener has come under thorough examination following a July 2023 statement from the International Agency for Research on Cancer that officially classified aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic (致癌的) to humans.”
So what’s the answer Ultimately, we need to rethink our relationship with the sweet stuff. For the most part, the sugars that naturally occur in an apple, a sweet potato or a glass of milk aren’t an issue. It’s the sugar introduced during the manufacturing of a jarred pasta sauce or when you stir a spoonful of sugar into your coffee, for example, that’s harming your health.
When you eat or drink something with added sugar, your blood sugar and insulin (胰岛素) rise sharply. On the other hand, when you chew a bowl of fresh berries, the whole fruit contains fiber and other compounds that slow how quickly the sugar is digested, so your blood sugar doesn’t rise in the same way.
Definitely, consuming not only less added sugar but also sugar substitutes over time is bound to make your life a whole lot sweeter.
8. What can we probably infer in paragraph 1
A. The writer shows his own puzzle. B. People ignore an issue about sugar.
C. People take action to give up sugar. D. Bakery has less sugar than dairy-free milk.
9. Which food or drink may do less harm to our health in the text
A. Breakfast cereal. B. Diet drinks. C. Coffee drink. D. A sweet potato.
10. Why do people fail to consume less sugar
A. More sugary snacks are produced. B. Foods without sugar pose more health risks.
C. Sugar substitutes exist in many foods and drinks. D. Compounds in sugar are reported to be carcinogenic.
11. Which is the most suitable title according to the text
A. Aspartame Should replace sugar B. The Bitter Truth About Sugar
C. Keep Away From Sugar D. Sugar Talks Sweetly
D
Many of the astronauts going up to space are among the smartest people on the planet. However, a new NASA study has found a surprising effect of space travel — it may actually slow down the human brain.
Contrary to what you might expect, researchers discovered that while space travelers orbit the Earth, they experience some temporary mental slowdowns, including processing information slower and difficulties with attention and memory.
Luckily, the study also finds spending months in space doesn’t permanently scramble (打乱) an astronaut’s cognitive (认知的) abilities. Their overall brain performance remains remarkably resilient (有适应力的).
The study examined 25 professional astronauts who spent an average of six months aboard the International Space Station. Scientists tracked their cognitive performance through a series of rigorous (谨慎的) tests designed to measure everything from processing speed to memory and attention. “We show that there is no evidence of any significant cognitive impairment or neurodegenerative decline in astronauts spending six months on the ISS,” explains Dr. Sheena Dev, the study’s lead researcher, in a media release.
So what exactly changed Think of it like your brain running in “low power mode”. Astronauts completed tasks just as accurately as they would on Earth, but they took slightly longer to process information. Processing speed, working memory, and attention were the most affected cognitive fields — similar to how you might feel after a stressful day without enough sleep. The most interesting but unusual finding is how quickly the brain adapts. Some performance changes, like slower attention spans, were only noticeable early in the mission. Others, like reduced processing speed, took a bit longer to return to normal after the astronauts returned to Earth.
These insights are more than just scientific curiosity. As humanity looks toward ambitious missions to the Moon and Mars, understanding how the human brain responds to extreme environments becomes crucial. This research provides a baseline for future space explorers, helping mission planners predict and reduce potential cognitive challenges.
12. How may astronauts perform during space travel
A. They take longer to respond to the tasks. B. They complete tasks as quickly as on earth.
C. Their cognitive abilities are damaged heavily. D. They spend years recovering their physical health
13. What does the underlined word “impairment” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Improvement. B. Damage. C. Development. D. Change.
14. What can we learn from the passage
A. Astronauts’ cognitive abilities remain stable wherever they are.
B. Astronauts’ performance in space is much worse than that on Earth.
C. Astronauts’ attention spans were always slower in the space.
D. Astronauts’ brain performance can return to normal later
15. What does the last paragraph mainly about
A. The later plans for space missions. B. The development of cognitive study.
C. The significance of the study. D. The future of space exploration.

The Turning Point
The bright stadium lights shone on my face as I rushed past two defenders, my heart beating fast. Just before someone tried to take the ball, I saw Jamie standing free near the goal, waiting for my pass. But I didn’t because this was my kingdom to show my talent for football. Unfortunately, the ball was taken from me, and the other team quickly scored. Coach Nick blew his whistle loudly. His anger felt as cold as the winter wind.
Nick seemed disappointed with me. He repeatedly stressed that football was not individual heroism but teamwork. I agreed but I believed in my individual abilities much more. After his repeated attempts to educate me failed, I got moved to the bench (板凳) team.
Six weeks later, I went home after another benching session, kicking stones along the sidewalk. Mom found me upset at the backyard fence. “Help me trim (修剪) the vine (紫藤),” she said, handing me tools without meeting my eyes. As we worked, my anger poured out. “They just hate that I’m fast. Nick is blind to my talent”. “Look at this plant,” Mom cut in, touching a part of the plant that were damaging the fence by growing too tightly around the fence. The vine looked weak, dying because they grew too wildly. “These vines need support,” she said, breaking a dead branch. “But if they grow too strong alone.” She pointed to healthy vines growing together. “See Their roots share food underground. Together, they grow best.”
Mum’s words hit me like a bad football move. That night, I watched our team videos over and over again. I saw many times when passing chances appeared clearly, but I was too selfish to notice.
