21、Samsung
Saying that Samsung makes great tablets might sound strange to someone not too familiar with their devices, but the company has made some interesting strides with tablets. And much like their phones, Samsung has a wide variety in their products, with the very affordable Tab A7/A8, to the high-end flagship S8 ultra. So if you’re team Android as opposed to Apple, Samsung is probably the way to go.
Best tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
Microsoft
Microsoft has traditionally been a major player in computing so it’s no shock that they also make well-designed and more than capable tablets — the Microsoft Surface. With the idea of the Surface tablets being a 2-in-1 device, a tablet that can functionally run like a laptop, running windows, and featuring basically the same processors that you’d find in a laptop.
And with an additional keyboard, great displays and long battery life, the Surface tablets make for great machines for work or play respectively.
Best tablet: Microsoft Surface Pro 8
Amazon
Amazon does indeed make tablets and, they’re capable too. Amazon’s Fire HD tablets are firmly in the budget tablet range but that doesn’t make them less capable. In terms of size, they range from seven up to ten inches and even include a kids’ tablet for the young ones. So if you prefer tablets over ten inches, you may be wanting to look elsewhere.
But all in all, they’re a good shout for a first-time tablet buyer that isn’t looking to spend a few hundred pounds on a device, but still wants to watch videos or browse the web on the go.
Best tablet: Amazon Fire HD 10 plus

24、Steve Forest is a scientist. He’s standing on an island off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Below him are several hundred penguins and their children. Forrest’s job is to count every one of them. It's snowing. There is a big wind, too. And their children won’t stay still. Penguins are great climbers. So Forrest and the team members must be too. And penguins aren't always clean.
Forrest has been coming to Antarctica every January for six years. He's helping count the area’s penguins. This will help researchers better understand the Antarctic environment. There used to be lots of penguins in Antarctica, “It's all because of climate change,” Heather J. Lynch says seriously. She is leading the research team. The team member Noah Strycker adds, “We know climate change is hitting the Antarctic Peninsula harder than anywhere else in the world. We are following the situation closely.”
Scientists think that warming waters do harm to krill, the tiny animals that penguins eat. This is bad for the sea life. But krill are hard to study, so researchers pay attention to penguins. They’re easier to follow. They return to the same place each year to lay eggs. If penguins aren't doing well , krill probably aren't either. “Penguins give us an idea about what is going on in the sea around us,” Forrest says.
This year, Lynch’s research team uses a drone to help them. They fly it over an area to take pictures to count penguins.
Counting penguins is quite necessary. The more we learn, the more we know about krill and the ocean animals that depend on them. When we understand them, we can start fixing them. We should consider carefully what Lynch says: “What’s happening in the Antarctic is happening everywhere.”
【1】What is required of scientists like Forrest according to Paragraph 1?
A.Being clean.
B.Being good at math.
C.Being cool-headed.
D.Being skilled in climbing.
【2】What's the point of counting penguins in the Antarctie?
A.To protect this animal species from extinction.
B.To help find out how many krill might be living
C.To have a better knowledge of the Antarctic environment
D.To collect first-hand data for analyzing global warming.
【3】What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Scientists.
B.Krill.
C.Penguins.
D.Ocean animals.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Penguins lay eggs in the same place on the island every year.
B.The penguin population is increasing due to climate change.
C.The penguin population determines the krill population.
D.Climate change is most obvious in the Antarctic Peninsula.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a misty morning in July, Clay and Acaimie arrived at the base of Mount Liamuiga, ready for their first honeymoon climb. They had married just five days earlier back home in Indiana, the United States.
They had their apparent differences. Acaimie had always been the worrier. Clay, on the other hand, was an optimist—always certain that things would turn out just fine. So it was Clay who wanted to take a day of their honeymoon and climb Mount Liamuiga, which is also a dead volcano—a popular destination for vacationers looking for adventure.
The couple, dressed in white T-shirts and sneakers, arrived for their journey in a rental car expecting to explore. When arriving, they found an empty dirt parking lot with just a small sign marking the beginning of the track. They made their way up anyway.
It took them nearly three hours to reach the peak, but the view made it all worthwhile. Though worn-out, they couldn't have been happier as they took a few selfies(自拍)with their cellphones, and walked around the edge of the volcano.
That's when Clay saw it: a small track, half-hidden beneath plant life, that led into the volcano's crater(火山口). A series of holes had been drilled into the rocks, with ropes that led down. For Clay, the sight was incredibly inviting. It felt like a secret entrance to a mysterious paradise(天堂,乐园). Acaimie was less enthusiastic. The track was steep, and she was afraid of heights, but she bravely followed Clay's lead. After just a few minutes of going downwards, though, she'd had enough. She told her husband she'd wait on the rocks just off the track while he went exploring. “Just be quick,” she said as she watched him set off on the rough path, zigzagging(曲折前进)while grasping the rope.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
A few minutes later, she heard a noise of something rolling downhill and a cry for help from deep within the crater.

There was nobody when they reached the top, but fortunately she found a signal on her cellphone.
