(2025届黑龙江省齐齐哈尔下学期一模)The ebike has become an essential item, and even the King has been spotted riding one. According to the
market research company Mintel, sales have almost tripled over the past five years. While ebikes have become
increasingly commonplace, they are still undeniably expensive. You can pick up a perfectly adequate push bike for
£300, but most ebikes cost nearly £2,000. Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike,
offers the following recommendations.
Best folding bike
Carbo Model X
Price: £2, 799 | Weight: 13.3kg
Range: up to 34 miles
This is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect
example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain. This makes it
lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oily chain.
Most stylish
Temple Cycles Classic
Price: from £2, 995 | Weight: 19kg
Range: up to 74 miles
This Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city. This is its
electric version. It’s a very sleek and functional commuter option and not too heavy. Temples have fewer
proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in any bike shop. Stylish as they may be, the VanMoofs and
the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.
The money-no-object option
Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX
Price: £5, 380 | Weight: 28.4kg
Range: up to 93 miles
This is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality,
comfort and practicality — if you can afford it. It has the capacity to handle 25kg of luggage in a pannier, powerful
road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.
16．What is the advantage of the Temples over other stylish ebike brands?
A．They are more lightweight. B．They have more functions.
C．They have easier access to service. D．They are more comfortable.
17．Which ebike will a consumer probably choose, who cares most about an excellent experience?A．Carbo Model X. B．The VanMoofs and the Cowboys.
C．Temple Cycles Classic. D．Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX.
18．Where is the text probably taken from?
A．An online post. B．A magazine column.
C．A market research report. D．An official document.

harsh desert region called the Dead Heart. In Sand Swimmers, Narelle Oliver combines science, natural history, and
firsthand observations to uncover the unbelievably hardy species that live and thrive in this mysterious piece of
Australian wilderness.
The Secret Kingdom
by Barb Rosenstock
The Secret Kingdom is a visually impressive biography of Nek Chand Saini, a village farmer who relocated
to the city of Chandigarh after the 1947 partition of India. There, he gathered castoffs and small treasures to create a
secret rock garden in the jungle — now a 40-acre sculpture garden open to the public. Rich watercolor illustrations
capture the region’s natural beauty.
When Life Gives You Mangos
by Kereen Getten
A moving new middle grade novel, When Life Gives You Mangos centers the perspective of a young girl
named Clara who lives on an island in Jamaica, a favorite place for tourists who throw around words like “exotic”
about Clara’s home. Since last summer’s hurricane, though, the tourists are thinning out, and the biggest talk is
about a new girl who’s moving to the island, whom Clara can’t wait to meet. A moving story about family,
friendship, and resilience, it will also spark important conversations about traveling to others’ homes.
The Island of Horsesby Eilís Dillon
This classic adventure story, reissued in 2018, takes place off the western coast of Ireland on an island called
Inishrone. Life on the remote island is anything but easy, but it’s all that friends Pat Conroy and Danny MacDonagh
have ever known. Lured by the call of ghost stories, Pat and Danny set sail for the Island of Horses, a decision that

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 yourkitchen.
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.”

With winters in the mountains getting less predictable in terms of snow fall, ski resorts (旅游圣地) are pioneering
sustainable practices that aim to phase out fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions and reduce waste. After
experiencing first-hand some of the earliest effects of climate change, alpine villages and towns have a long-term
interest in safeguarding their delicate ecosystems. The following are three selected mountain towns that are pushing
ahead with eco-initiatives that are setting the green standard for ski destinations worldwide.
Laax, Switzerland
Laax has been working towards operating sustainably since the 1970s and aims to be carbon neutral by 2030,
eventually becoming an energy-producing resort. It’s currently constructing buildings that will produce more
energy than they consume, and is phasing out fossil fuels. This winter, the resort will open the first “on-demand”
ski lift, which reduces energy requirements by removing cabins if they’re not being used. There are plentiful
vehicle and bike charging points in resort.
Skiwelt, Austria
This collection of resorts, which includes Söll, Ellmau, Westendorf and others, has won awards for its ecological
endeavors. It installed the world’s first solar-powered lift in Brixen in 2008, and since 2017 has relied merely on
local renewable energy, heating most of its buildings using biomass, wood pellets and heat-recovery systems. Car
parks in Scheffau, Hopfgarten and Brixen have charging points for EVs and when skiers buy a day lift ticket they
receive a code enabling them to charge their cars for free. Base and mountain stations across the ski area have
waste-sorting systems.
Sälen, SwedenPart of the Scandinavian SkiStar group of resorts, Sälen is using non-fossil fuel energy in all resort
operations, which has cut carbon dioxide emissions by 90%. All ski buses run on HVO biofuel, as do all the resort’s
snow groomers (整理机) — reducing emissions by 67%. All 150 of the resort’s snowmobiles are now electric, and
it operates an electric snow groomer, too. Charging points for EVs are installed as standard on all new buildings.
37．Why are the ski resorts struggling for sustainable solutions?
A．To become energy-producing resorts.
B．To cope with climate change challenges.
C．To win awards for their ecological efforts.
D．To set the green standard for ski destinations worldwide
38．What sustainable practice has Skiwelt, Austria pioneered?
A．Installing a solar-powered lift. B．Consuming renewable energy.
