Could you cook Christmas
dinner in an AIR FRYER
Graphic shows they deliver
juicy results on a roast chicken…and they are
up to three times cheaper than an oven to run.
WHICH APPLIANCE IS BEST
FOR COOKING CHICKEN
Appliance Electric oven Pressure cooker Air fryer Slow cooker Halogen oven
Cooking time 76mins 32mins 53mins 180mins 54mins
Energy used to cook 1. 157 kWh 0. 336 kWh 0. 54 kWh 0. 9 kWh 1. 166 kWh
Cost to cook 39p 11p 18p 31p 40p
Quality Meat was a little dry
but the skin was crispy and browned Cooked rather than roasted,
skin not crispy Juicy, flavorsome meat
with a crispy brown skin Well cooked but skin
only slightly crispy Full of flavor with a
crispy skin
The Which testers initially
cooked a three-pound (1.4 kg) chicken in all these appliances, including both a
halogen and conventional oven. This bird would be big enough to feed four people,
with enough meat left for some Boxing Day sandwiches. They found the pressure cooker
was both the cheapest and quickest way of roasting it, taking 32 minutes and costing
a tiny 11p – 28p cheaper than the electric oven. But unlike the oven, it fell short
on getting achieving one of the highlights of the Christmas roast – the brown, crispy
skin.
The air fryer also cooked
the chicken's skin nicely but gave perfect, tender meat, all for just 18p and in
under an hour. Additionally, if you ditched the oven and used an air fryer for every
Sunday roast for the rest of the year, using the gadget would equate to an annual
saving of 11.
The testers did note that
the chicken cooked in the electric oven was also a little dry, meaning the air fryer
came out on top over all other appliances.
The cost savings will soon
be lost if you have to cook more than one batch though, so it's still better to
use your oven if you're cooking large quantities.
However, the slow cooker
received a bonus point for requiring less hands-on attention, and was therefore
the most convenient.
21．Which appliance best suits environmentally-aware people enjoying a crispy chicken
A．Pressure cooker. B．Electric oven.
C．Halogen oven. D．Air fryer.
22．What is probably the major reason for people to use pressure cooker
A．Size. B．Appearance. C．Cost. D．Safety.
23．What is the advantage of using the slow cooker
A．It costs least money. B．It needs less attention.
C．It's most energy efficient. D．Its appearance is fashionable.

The Great Smoky Mountains
National Park offers trails (路线) for all skill
levels and we've pulled together a list of some of the easier hiking trails that
are perfect for kids.
Gatlinburg Trail
The Gatlinburg Trail is
easy to get to and perfect for a first time hiking experience. Pets and bikes are
allowed on this one too. The trail is relatively flat and follows along the West
Prong of the Little Pigeon River for about 2 miles, so the roundtrip length is just
3.9 miles. Hike at your own pace and enjoy!
Porters Creek Trail
The Porters Creek trailhead
is located in Greenbrier Cove. The trail makes a great hike any time of the year
due to its lower elevation (海拔). As you make
your way along the hiking trail from the parking lot to Porters Flat, you'll see
remains of the Elbert Cantrell farmhouse, Ownby Cemetery, the John Messer farm site
and more. And if you happen to visit during the spring season, be on the lookout
for all the beautiful spring wildflowers beginning to bloom. The roundtrip length
is 4 miles.
Laurel Falls
The Laurel Falls trail
is 2.3 miles round trip and considered to be one of the best waterfall hikes in
the Great Smoky Mountains! Laurel Falls Trail is paved but rocky and uneven, and
there are a few steep drop-offs as you get closer to the falls, so wear appropriate
shoes and keep small children close.
Andrew's Bald Hiking Trail
Andrew's Bald Hiking Trail
is 1. 8 miles each way and relatively easy to negotiate. You may find patches of
wild berries and beautiful wildflowers but best of all, some amazing views of the
Great Smoky Mountains. It's also a great spot to stop and enjoy a picnic with the
family.
27．What makes Gatlinburg Trail special
A．Its waterfall. B．Its farm site.
C．Its uneven road. D．Its permission of bikes.
28．Which trail suits people who prefer the shortest roundtrip length
A．Gatlinburg Trail. B．Porters Creek Trail.
C．Laurel Falls. D．Andrew's Bald Hiking Trail.
29．What do the listed trails have in common
A．They are suitable for children.
B．They are challenging.
C．They are designed for picnicking.
D．They are favored by skilled hikers.

Customer Reviews
1）★★★★★
My favorite shoes! I've been to many conferences where my business fellows have told me how much they like my shoes. Just wearing them makes me feel more calm and content in the office. I recommend them to all of my co workers, and I own a pair of each color.
2）★
These are the worst shoes I have ever worn! The leather came off after only one week, and everybody thought they were ugly. The bottoms of the shoes made everything slippery. My employer fired me because he hated them! From then on, I would only wear Brand X shoes!
3）★★★
These shoes do exactly what shoes are supposed to do. There isn't anything too special about them. In the morning, I put them on and go about my day. They look delightful enough, and they are quite durable (耐穿的). I will probably buy another pair.
4）★★★★
These shoes are my favorite things. I met my bride while buying a pair of these shoes. She was a customer service employee at the store I bought them at, and after she sold me three pairs, I asked her for her phone number and we started dating. Soon after that, we were engaged. We are getting married this afternoon, and I couldn't be happier.
18．How many pairs of leather dress shoes does the first customer own

Could you cook Christmas
dinner in an AIR FRYER
Graphic shows they deliver
juicy results on a roast chicken…and they are
up to three times cheaper than an oven to run.
WHICH APPLIANCE IS BEST
FOR COOKING CHICKEN
Appliance Electric oven Pressure cooker Air fryer Slow cooker Halogen oven
Cooking time 76mins 32mins 53mins 180mins 54mins
Energy used to cook 1. 157 kWh 0. 336 kWh 0. 54 kWh 0. 9 kWh 1. 166 kWh
Cost to cook 39p 11p 18p 31p 40p
Quality Meat was a little dry
but the skin was crispy and browned Cooked rather than roasted,
skin not crispy Juicy, flavorsome meat
with a crispy brown skin Well cooked but skin
only slightly crispy Full of flavor with a
crispy skin
The Which testers initially
cooked a three-pound (1.4 kg) chicken in all these appliances, including both a
halogen and conventional oven. This bird would be big enough to feed four people,
with enough meat left for some Boxing Day sandwiches. They found the pressure cooker
was both the cheapest and quickest way of roasting it, taking 32 minutes and costing
a tiny 11p – 28p cheaper than the electric oven. But unlike the oven, it fell short
on getting achieving one of the highlights of the Christmas roast – the brown, crispy
skin.
The air fryer also cooked
the chicken's skin nicely but gave perfect, tender meat, all for just 18p and in
under an hour. Additionally, if you ditched the oven and used an air fryer for every
Sunday roast for the rest of the year, using the gadget would equate to an annual
saving of 11.
The testers did note that
the chicken cooked in the electric oven was also a little dry, meaning the air fryer
came out on top over all other appliances.
The cost savings will soon
be lost if you have to cook more than one batch though, so it's still better to
use your oven if you're cooking large quantities.
However, the slow cooker
received a bonus point for requiring less hands-on attention, and was therefore
the most convenient.
21．Which appliance best suits environmentally-aware people enjoying a crispy chicken
A．Pressure cooker. B．Electric oven.
C．Halogen oven. D．Air fryer.
22．What is probably the major reason for people to use pressure cooker
A．Size. B．Appearance. C．Cost. D．Safety.
23．What is the advantage of using the slow cooker
A．It costs least money. B．It needs less attention.
C．It's most energy efficient. D．Its appearance is fashionable.
【答案】21．D
22．C

21．考查细节理解。由表格可知，高压锅耗费能量最少，但根据表格Quality一行“Cooked rather than roasted, skin not crispy ”熟的而不是烤的，皮不脆。可知高压锅无法实现烤鸡的酥脆外皮，所以排除A；其次是空气炸锅耗能量较少，根据表格的Quality一行“Juicy, flavorsome meat with a crispy brown skin ”多汁可口的肉，外皮呈脆棕色。可知，空气炸锅做出来的烤鸡外皮是酥脆的，所以对于那些享受脆皮鸡的环保人士来说，空气炸锅最合适。故选D。
22．考查细节理解。根据表格下的第一段中的“They found the pressure cooker was both the cheapest and quickest way of roasting it, taking 32 minutes and costing a tiny 11p – 28p cheaper than the electric oven. ”他们发现高压锅是最便宜和最快的烘烤方式，耗时32分钟，成本比电炉便宜11便士–28便士。可知，人们使用高压锅主要可能因为便宜。故选C。
23．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“However, the slow cooker received a bonus point for requiring less hands-on attention, and was therefore the most convenient. ”慢炖锅由于需要较少的动手注意力而获得加分，因此是最方便的。可知，慢炖锅的优势是需要较少的关注。故选B。

The Great Smoky Mountains
National Park offers trails (路线) for all skill
levels and we've pulled together a list of some of the easier hiking trails that
are perfect for kids.
Gatlinburg Trail
The Gatlinburg Trail is
easy to get to and perfect for a first time hiking experience. Pets and bikes are
allowed on this one too. The trail is relatively flat and follows along the West
Prong of the Little Pigeon River for about 2 miles, so the roundtrip length is just
3.9 miles. Hike at your own pace and enjoy!
Porters Creek Trail
The Porters Creek trailhead
is located in Greenbrier Cove. The trail makes a great hike any time of the year
due to its lower elevation (海拔). As you make
your way along the hiking trail from the parking lot to Porters Flat, you'll see
remains of the Elbert Cantrell farmhouse, Ownby Cemetery, the John Messer farm site
and more. And if you happen to visit during the spring season, be on the lookout
for all the beautiful spring wildflowers beginning to bloom. The roundtrip length
is 4 miles.
Laurel Falls
The Laurel Falls trail
is 2.3 miles round trip and considered to be one of the best waterfall hikes in
the Great Smoky Mountains! Laurel Falls Trail is paved but rocky and uneven, and
there are a few steep drop-offs as you get closer to the falls, so wear appropriate
shoes and keep small children close.
Andrew's Bald Hiking Trail
Andrew's Bald Hiking Trail
is 1. 8 miles each way and relatively easy to negotiate. You may find patches of
wild berries and beautiful wildflowers but best of all, some amazing views of the
Great Smoky Mountains. It's also a great spot to stop and enjoy a picnic with the
family.
27．What makes Gatlinburg Trail special
A．Its waterfall. B．Its farm site.
C．Its uneven road. D．Its permission of bikes.

29．考查细节理解。根据第一段“The Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers trails for all skill levels and we’ve pulled together a list of some of the easier hiking trails that are perfect for kids.”大烟山国家公园提供各种技能水平的徒步路线，我们列出了一些适合孩子们的简单徒步路线。可知，大烟山国家公园提供各种技能水平的徒步路线，文中列出了适合孩子们简单徒步的路线。因此，列出的路线共同之处是它们适合儿童，故选A。
