A
You can air fry almost anything. But，there are foods that just shouldn't be seen near an air fryer. Before cooking with your air fryer，see which foods won't work — even though they may be tempting to throw in there.
Fresh greens
Leafy greens，like spinach，will cook unevenly and are very likely to burn due to the air fryer's high-speed air. When choosing vegetables to cook in the air fryer，make sure they hold some weight，like broccoli or zucchini. Kale chips may also be successful if coated in enough oil to weigh them down.
Whole roasts
The apparent issue with whole roasts is whether or not it will even fit properly into an air fryer basket，but even if it does fit，it's best to just stick to the regular oven.The roast will not cook evenly，with the part closest to the heat source likely to burn by the time the part furthest away is safe to eat.The problem comes down to overcrowding.
Cheese
Who wouldn't love to instantly make some fried cheese to snack on？Since the air fryer isn't truly "frying" the food，placing cheese in it without some sort of coating will just melt the cheese into a puddle and create a mess you don't want to clean up.
Battered foods
Unless the food is pre-fried and frozen，you'll want to avoid placing wet batter in the air fryer.Aside from the obvious mess it will create，wet batter won't set the way it does when it's submerged in oil，meaning the food won't have that crunchy shell.
21.Why is it not recommended to cook fresh leafy greens like spinach in an air fryer？
A. They don't hold enough weight.
B. They cook unevenly and burn easily.
C. They aren't coated in oil to weigh them down.
D. They require much preparation time to be successful.
22.What is the main problem with cooking whole roasts in an air fryer？
A. The size of them makes them hard to fit.
B. The skin of them usually becomes too dry.
C. No proper circulation of hot air causes uneven cooking.
D. It takes much longer to cook them than in a regular oven.
23.What do cheese and battered foods have in common when using an air fryer？
A. They must be coated for preparation.
B. They should be frozen before cooking.
C. They can be cooked directly without issues.
D. They'll cause problems without proper handling.
B
Georgia，who works for a popular fashion store in the UK named Bows Boutique，left her purse at a gas station after her company party in early December. She was heartbroken，but thinking someone must have taken it away，she gave up the idea of going back to look for it and didn't phone the station to ask about it.

After eight years of planning and a cost of more than 39 million，a Swedish church，Kyrka，began a slow 5km journey on Tuesday to make way for the expansion of Europe's biggest underground mine （矿区）.This huge wooden Swedish Protestant church，built in 1912，is to be slowly rolled to its new home over two days，half a kilometre per hour.The move is part of a huge multi-decade project to relocate the whole Arctic town as the iron mine weakens the ground，threatening the survival of the town.
Designed by Gustaf Wickman，the church is one of Sweden's most-loved older buildings.More than 10，000 people，including the Swedish king，Carl XVI Gustaf，are expected to line the streets to see the move of the red wooden building.
The expansion has attracted criticism，including from the Sami community，who fear that the division of the land would make reindeer herding （放牧驯鹿） hard，threatening the local biodiversity. Karin K Niia，a reindeer owner，warned the move was "a big show" to distract from the destruction mining causes to the town and its native culture. S he accused the company of "land-grabbing" the grassland territory needed to support Sami culture. Fredriksson，who hosted a podcast on local news，was happy，at least，that the church had been saved，and hadn't ended up "as woodchips."
The mining company said the move was necessary for the church to continue to exist and stressed it sought "constructive solutions" when mining affected reindeer herding；its CEO，Jan Mostr m，said the relocation work had cost more than half a billion kronor and that if the mine is to remain，the city center must move.
The church is expected to reopen at its new location at the end of next year，but the city's relocation is not scheduled to finish until 2035.
28.What do we know about the church？
A. Its relocation lasts over eight years.
B. It travels across the entire Arctic town.
C. It is to be moved as a whole to a new place.
D. It was constructed in 1912 by Gustaf Wickman.
29.What does the underlined phrase "a big show" suggest about the move？
A. It's a technical exhibition.
B. It's a misleading public display.
C. It's a huge advance towards biodiversity.
D. It's an enormous threat to Sami community.
30.What can be inferred about company's statement？
A. It viewed the move as unavoidable.
B. It expected a rise in reindeer.
C. It focused more on cultural heritage.
D. It regretted the project's high expense.
31.Which of the following is the best title of the passage？
A. Mine expansion impacts Sami culture
B. Herding forces an Arctic Town to relocate
C. Locals save Sweden's most-loved church
D. A historic church moves for mine expansion
D
As adults，fear is something we feel we have to carry alone，afraid to share it because it might make us seem weak.
This is especially true for business leaders. Fear can be perceived as a lack of belief. But the truth is，trying something new and pushing beyond the familiar is always going to be scary.
Launching a startup，developing a new product，or stepping into a new market means navigating the unknown. No matter how much we plan，there's always uncertainty. And that uncertainty brings fear-whether it's the fear of failing. being judged，or facing rejection.
Treat fear as a built-in Survival Guide. When you face something uncertain or threatening，your brain's amygdala（杏仁核）kicks into gear. cueing reactions that prepare you to either fight or flight.
In addition to fast-acting neurotransmitters（神经递质）.your brain also uses neuropeptides（神经肽），which act more slowly but help adjust your fear response，making sure you stay aware of potential risks.
Fear itself is not bad. It's a natural response designed to protect you.In fact，as one of our oldest survival mechanisms，it can even be healthy. It can help avoid casual decisions，heighten our awareness，and fuel our motivation.Y et，we crush it，leading to its worst effects- overthinking，poor communication，and missed opportunities because we shy away from risks.
As a result，we often get all of its drawbacks without any of its benefits：work is slower because of analysis paralysis（瘫痰）；communication is unproductive because we hold back information；innovation is limited because we avoid taking any risks.
What if instead we embraced fear as a natural part of life，one that's full of curiosity，experimentation，and creativity？Making friends with fear means recognizing that it's not something to avoid or ignore，but rather something to treat as helpful information.
When you stop running from fear and start working with it，amazing things can happen.By feeling your fear，examining its source，speaking out your needs，and reflecting on the experience，you can transform this natural response into a powerful driver of personal and professional progress.
32.What do the underlined words "kick into gear""probably mean in paragraph 4？
A. Lose control. B. Start working.
C. Start fighting. D. Come into effect.
33.What can we learn about "neuropeptides"
A. They are less useful than the neurotransmitters.
B. They help you prepare yourself in face of fear.
C. They help improve your response towards fear.
D. They can make sure you avoid potential risks.
34.Which of the following statements does the author agree with？
A. Fear should be crushed and avoided.
B. Fear can also be taken advantage of.
C. Fear itself is perfectly good and healthy.
D. Fear totally comes from a lack of confidence.
35.What is the most suitable title of this article？
A. Making Friends with Fear. B. Being Brave and Fearless.
C. Sharing Fear Makes You Weak. D. Fear Always Leads to Failure.
第二节 七选五 (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。选项中有两项多余选项。
When finances feel unclear or unpredictable，your nervous system may remain on high alert，attempting to protect you from potential dangers.（36）______ Fortunately，our financial situation does not simply determine our peace. It is shaped even more by how we relate to our money.
When you have simple habits that help you see what is happening，make thoughtful decisions，and feel prepared for what comes next，your stress begins to soften. These supportive habits are designed for you.（37）______
Create a simple and supportive spending plan. A spending plan is not about limiting your life.（38）______ Knowing what is coming and where it is going reduces fear of the unknown. You gain clarity，which creates emotional comfort.
Track what comes in and what goes out. Recording your income and spending is a powerful way to create emotional clarity.

Consider checking in once a week and observing. Some people like using apps for this，while others prefer a simple notebook or notes on their phone. What matters most is consistency，not perfection.
（40）______ It is more than a savings account. It is a sense of security. Knowing you have something set aside，even if it starts very small，can soften your stress in a noticeable way. It sends a message to your mind that you are cared for and prepared. You do not need a large amount to begin. Start with what feels realistic. Even setting aside a few dollars each week creates momentum. The habit matters more than the size. Over time，these small amounts add up and begin to form a foundation of support.

Unexpected Hike It was a sunny weekend，and a group of high-school students from Class 10，led by their enthusiastic teacher Mr. Brown，set out for a hiking trip in the nearby mountains，Among them were Alex，a curious and adventurous boy，and his reserved but intelligent classmate，Maya. Everyone was in high spirits，chatting and laughing as they walked along the well-marked trail.
As they hiked deeper into the mountains，the beautiful scenery around them was breathtaking. Lush green trees towered above，and colorful wildflowers dotted the path. The students stopped occasionally to take pictures，trying to capture the beauty of nature. Alex，always eager to explore，would run ahead a little，then wait impatiently for the rest of the group.
After a few hours of hiking. they reached a fork in the trail. Mr. Brown，checking the map，told the students that the left path would lead them to a magnificent waterfall，while the right one would take them back to the starting point. Most of the students voted to go left and see the waterfall. However，Maya，who had been quietly observing the weather，noticed some dark clouds gathering in the distance. She worried that a storm might be approaching and suggested they return.But her voice was drowned out by the excited chatter of her classmates，and they decided to continue on the left path.
As they got closer to the waterfall，the sound of rushing water grew louder. Just as they were about to reach their destination，large raindrops began to fall. In no time，it turned into a heavy downpour. The path，which was muddy to begin with，became slippery and dangerous. The students huddled together，not knowing what to do next. Mr. B rown tried to keep everyone calm，but the situation was getting out of control

Alex，who was usually so fearless，now started to feel a bit scared.The heavy rain made visibility poor，and the strong wind was making the trees sway dangerously.His classmates were also looking around anxiously，their excited expressions replaced by worry.Mr.Brown was trying his best to shield the students from the rain with his coat， but it was of little use.Alex's teeth chattered as he thought about the possible consequences of getting stuck in this storm.He regretted not listening to Maya's advice earlier.The path was getting more and more difficult to navigate，with mud making it easy to slip and fall.Some students were on the verge of crying，and the group's morale was at an all-time low.
Suddenly，Maya remembered something she had learned in a survival course.She quickly scanned the area around them and spotted a large overhanging rock not far away.Shouting to get everyone's attention，she said， "Follow me!We can take shelter under that rock." Mr.Brown immediately agreed and helped the students move towards the rock.Once they were all safely under the overhang，they were out of the direct rain.Maya then suggested they use some dry leaves and twigs they could find nearby to start a small fire to keep warm.The students，now full of hope，started collecting the materials. With a little effort，they managed to start a fire，and the warm glow gradually lifted their spirits.They waited for the storm to pass，grateful for Maya's quick thinking and knowledge.
