NDS XL Air Fryer
Wish you could fit a double air fryer(空气炸锅) in your kitchen, but running low on worktop space Introducing the NDS (Ninja Double Stack) XL Air Fryer.
This double air fryer towers above the rest, with 2 vertical stacked drawers(纵向堆叠抽屉) that do not need as much space on your worktop as traditional side-by-side 2-drawer air fryers. Now — you can mix and match 6 cooking functions, cooking times and temperatures across 2 individually-controlled drawers, and have all your food ready at the same time — even in smaller kitchen spaces!
Already rated the full five stars by users, the air frying device is 30% slimmer compared to other Air Fryer. It might look small in size, but it can be really useful when it comes to mealtime. It can cook four layers of food — thanks to the two large drawers.
As most of the air fryers, it also has six incredible functions to help cook food exactly as you like it — air fry, crisp, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate(脱水)— making it one of the most diverse appliances(电器) in your kitchen.
Rally, one five star rater said, “this is perfect if you’re short of worktop space. It replaces my 9-in-1 air fryer and has the same quality.”
Rose described it as the “best in the market,” and added, “love absolutely everything about this model. I’m pleased I waited for the double stack as it takes up less space. I’d highly recommend it.”

London Cycle Hire Scheme
Renting a bike is not only one of the most pleasant ways to travel around the back streets of London; it’s also one of the cheapest. Approximately 12,000 bikes are available to rent 24 hours a day, all year round. You can hire a bike from any of the 800 docking stations and return it anywhere on the network. The three-speed bikes are pretty strong. They come with a bell, a front basket and a chain guard. The front and back lights come on when you start pedaling and the seat height is easily adjustable.
How much does It cost
Unfortunately, the free under-30-minute-ride deal was canceled in September 2022.
* 1.65 per 30-minutes
How to hire a bike
There are two ways to hire a bike—at a docking station terminal or via an app (the easier way)
At a docking station
*Touch the screen and insert a credit or debit card. The machine will print a receipt with a release code.
*Enter the release code. Wait until the green light lashes and pull out your bike and go.
Via the Santander cycle hire app
Smartphone users can now use an ios or android app to hire and pay for a bike. However, using the app does not reserve a bike. You still only have 10 minutes to use the release code, so make sure you’re near the docking station when you use it.
Please note: You have to be 18 or over to pay for a bike. You also need a credit or debit card-cash is not accepted.
1. How much does it cost to rent a bike for 3 hours
A. 9.9. B. 1.65. C. 3.3 D. 6.6
2. What should you pay attention to when renting a bike via an app
A. Making an advance booking. B. Carrying enough money.
C. Keeping the time limit in mind. D. Offering your personal details.
3. What is the main topic of the text
A. A bike docking station. B. Service for renting bikes.
C. Having a trip in London. D. An app used for hiring bikes.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了伦敦自行车租赁服务的相关信息。
1. 细节理解题。由文章How much does It cost 部分中的“ 1.65 per 30-minutes (每30分钟1.65英镑)”可知，每30分钟的租金是1.65英镑。因此，3小时的租金是：6*1.65 = 9.9 (英镑)。故选A。
2. 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中的“However, using the app does not reserve a bike. You still only have 10 minutes to use the release code, so make sure you’re near the docking station when you use it. (但是，使用该应用程序并不能预订自行车。您仍然只有10分钟的时间来使用释放码，因此请确保在使用释放码时您已靠近停靠站。)”可知，应该注意的是记住时间限制。故选C。
3. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Renting a bike is not only one of the most pleasant ways to travel around the back streets of London; it’s also one of the cheapest. Approximately 12,000 bikes are available to rent 24 hours a day, all year round. You can hire a bike from any of the 800 docking stations and return it anywhere on the network. The three-speed bikes are pretty strong. They come with a bell, a front basket and a chain guard. The front and back lights come on when you start pedaling and the seat height is easily adjustable. (租一辆自行车不仅是游览伦敦后街最愉快的方式之一；它也是最便宜的。大约有12000辆自行车全年24小时可供租用。你可以从800个停靠站中的任何一个租用一辆自行车，然后在网络上的任何地方还车。三速自行车很结实。他们有一个铃铛，一个前篮和一个链护。当你开始踩踏板时，前面和后面的灯就会亮起来，座位的高度很容易调节。)”可知，文章主要介绍了伦敦自行车租赁服务的相关信息，包括如何租车、租金价格以及注意事项等。因此，文章的主要话题是租赁自行车的服务，选项B“Service for renting bikes (租赁自行车的服务)”符合题意。故选B。

The Most Undervalued Travel Places in the U.S.
When people think of travel places in the United States, buzzy places like Miami, New York and Las Vegas often come to mind. Here are some undervalued cities to consider for your next U.S. vacation.
Stanley, Idaho
Outdoor lovers might want to consider adding Stanley to their lists. You can challenge yourself with virtually endless hiking trails and fishing adventures(冒险). And once you're all tired out, simply take in the beautiful lake scenery and relax in the local hot springs(温泉).
Minneapolis—St. Paul, Minnesota
When you think of Midwest city breaks, Chicago might be top of mind, but consider a trip to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The Twin Cities have well-known art, theater and cooking scenes, as well as plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. And of course, you can cross off the Mall of America from your bucket list.
Athens, Georgia
Athens isn't just home to the University of Georgia (and all the SEC football fanfare that comes with it). The “Classic City” is known for its music scene, which has produced iconic bands like R.E.M., the B-52s and Widespread Panic. Travelers can visit famous performance venues like Georgia Theatre and the 40 Watt Club, and explore the downtown's many bars and restaurants.
Bentonville, Arkansas
Bentonville is probably most famous for being the birthplace of Walmart, but the growing Arkansas city offers more than just big-box history. Museum fans can check out the Museum of Native American History, as well as the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and its satellite, the Momentary. There are also a number of trails and lakes in the area to get your nature fix.
1. What do Minneapolis-St. Paul and Stanley have in common
A. Hot springs. B. Outdoor adventures.
C. Street art. D. Famous theaters.
2. What can tourists do in Athens
A. Appreciate live music. B. Take exercise in Watt Club.
C. Have meals with band singers. D. Study in the University of Georgia.
3. Which place will you visit if you are interested in descriptions of American past events
A. Stanley. B. Minneapolis-St. Paul.
C. Bentonville. D. Athens.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C

NDS XL Air Fryer
Wish you could fit a double air fryer(空气炸锅) in your kitchen, but running low on worktop space Introducing the NDS (Ninja Double Stack) XL Air Fryer.
This double air fryer towers above the rest, with 2 vertical stacked drawers(纵向堆叠抽屉) that do not need as much space on your worktop as traditional side-by-side 2-drawer air fryers.

Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20
Founded in 2007, Art Dubai usually features around 120 galleries, some 65 percent of which are from the Global South. The fair has a section for digital works — not typical at other fairs. The solo project section, Bawwaba, is worth seeing.

Expo Chicago was established in 2012. The 2024 edition had 170 galleries from 29 countries exhibiting their artworks.

Paris Photo: Paris, Nov. 13-16
Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025. Despite the photography focus, organizers say the fair has crossover appeal. “We’ve expanded the range of collectors — we get not only photography people, but contemporary art collectors,” said the fair’s artistic director, Anna Planas.

The Most Undervalued Travel Places in the U.S.
When people think of travel places in the United States, buzzy places like Miami, New York and Las Vegas often come to mind. Here are some undervalued cities to consider for your next U.S. vacation.
Stanley, Idaho
Outdoor lovers might want to consider adding Stanley to their lists. You can challenge yourself with virtually endless hiking trails and fishing adventures(冒险). And once you're all tired out, simply take in the beautiful lake scenery and relax in the local hot springs(温泉).
Minneapolis—St. Paul, Minnesota
When you think of Midwest city breaks, Chicago might be top of mind, but consider a trip to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The Twin Cities have well-known art, theater and cooking scenes, as well as plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. And of course, you can cross off the Mall of America from your bucket list.
Athens, Georgia
Athens isn't just home to the University of Georgia (and all the SEC football fanfare that comes with it). The “Classic City” is known for its music scene, which has produced iconic bands like R.E.M., the B-52s and Widespread Panic. Travelers can visit famous performance venues like Georgia Theatre and the 40 Watt Club, and explore the downtown's many bars and restaurants.
Bentonville, Arkansas
Bentonville is probably most famous for being the birthplace of Walmart, but the growing Arkansas city offers more than just big-box history. Museum fans can check out the Museum of Native American History, as well as the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and its satellite, the Momentary. There are also a number of trails and lakes in the area to get your nature fix.
