It was a way to honor his late brother, Taylor Frink.Taylor, a volunteer firefighter in North Carolina, was killed in a car accident last September. Before his passing, Taylor was an eager supporter of St. Baldricks. He went bald（秃头）for the cause in 2015, supporting kids with cancer and raising money to find cures.As a local hero, Taylor was beloved by the community. When he died, more than 1, 000 people attended his funeral to pay their respects. Zack looked up to his brother and this was the reason why he decided to become a junior firefighter himself.

C.“He was always goodhearted, and I want to make my brother proud,” shares Zack.As part of Zacks kindnesses, he raised more than $ 1,000 for the St. Baldricks Foundation primarily by selling T-shirts he designed. Leading up to the event, Zack also visited his city council, commissioners office and challenged the local official department to get involved.“We are not going to let Taylors name be forgotten. That is what I love about St Baldricks,” says Jean Culbreth, volunteer event organizer. “Zack gets it. He gets that what he is doing is keeping his brothers name alive.”The day finally came and Zack took his seat under the clippers (剪具), not only to honor his brother but to help kids with cancer.

The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them. Some critics said, “Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist.”Thomas Jefferson did not like what Buffon had said about the natural wonders of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was a naturalist, as well as a farmer, inventor, historian, writer and politician. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new wordbelittle. He said, “Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in his English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittleto make somebody or something small, unimportant.”Americans had already accepted Jeffersons word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle newspaper used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “He is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “Belittle has no chance of becoming English. And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better.” This expert failed to kill the word. Today, “belittle” is used where the English language is spoken.28. What was the reason for Jeffersons creating the new word?A. He was a naturalist and writer.B. Lots of critics disliked Buttons books.C. He disagreed with Buffons views on natural wonders in America.D. Lots of critics thought Buffon wasnt a real naturalist.29. What do we know about Buffon according to the text?A. Some of his books were welcome by readers.B. Some of his poems were known to Jefferson.C. He made some wrong comments on Jefferson.D. He made great contributions to the creation of “belittle”.30. What does the underlined word “those” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The English words.B. The critical writers.C. The word experts.D. The English-speaking countries.31. What may be the best title for the text?A. The comment on the New WorldB. The creation of Thomas JeffersonC. The argument about the new wordD. The history of the word “belittle”DLook and listen, and that concert poster just might be singing. Engineers have designed antennas（天线）that can turn everyday objects, from posters to clothing, into radio stations. Anyone walking or driving by can tune in and hear whats on. The devices use radio waves, but they dont generate their own. They hijack（劫持）the same waves that carry music and news to your smartphone.Vikram Iyer co-led the project with Anran Wang, a graduate student in computer science and engineering. The two got the idea for their invention by paying attention to what was already around them. “Its the ideal way to minimize the power consumption for any kind of communication,” notes Iyer. Their research had focused on new types of wirelesscommunications that wont require much energy. They wanted something that would work outdoors in a city. Then they realized the air is already filled with wireless communications in the form of radio stations.Radio waves carry energy at the speed of light from tall transmission towers to radios in cars, phones and homes. These waves of the antennas take in existing radio waves and change them slightly. Those changes add new sound information. The changed waves are then sent back out into the world where people can listen in. So the device only needs enough power to change the waves, not to generate them.The scientists tested their device with a poster. It advertised a Seattle concert by Simply Three. People standing almost 4 meters away from the poster could use FM receivers on smartphones to listen to all songs of the bands music, Those in cars as far as 18 meters away could use car radios to pick up some parts of the songsThe technology could even extend to clothes. Iyer, Wang and their team turned the shirt into an antenna. It let the shirt talk to the wearers smartphone. If a sensor in the shirt tracked a persons heart rate during exercise, for instance, the antenna could transmit those data to the wearers phone.32. The underlined word “generate” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. promote B. repair C. produce D. recycle33. Which of the following is one advantage of the new antennas?A. They save energy.B. They are small-sizedC They can be used in villages.D. They can improve radio signals.34. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The way the antennas take in radio waves.B. The working principle of the antennas.C The benefit people can get from the antennas.D. The situation where the antennas can be used35. What can be inferred from the text?A. The antennas can be available at present.B. Vikram Iyer created the antennas with much money.C The antennas cannot be used in the students dormitory and classroom.D. The closer people stay to the antennas, the stronger signals they pick up.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Its Friday morning, and youre taking another test.
