The downpour has caused widespread flooding, forcing more than 32,000 people into shelters and damaging the citys water supply system.The only silver lining is that disasters like these seemed to unite people. While the number of organizations and individuals that have gone all out to assist the victims is too many to list, here are some highlights of the outpouring of support that has made headlines this past week.A week ago, NFI player JJ Watt set up a website with a goal to raise $200,000. Soon he has collected over $18 million, and the donations keep pouring in. The thrilled football star wants to ensure the money is used where needed, saying, “Were trying to make sure it goesdirectly to the people. So our first wave of operation is well have nine semi-trucks going out there and I will go straight into the communities and hand stuff out there.”Ordinary individuals are not shying away from helping either. Jim McIngvale, the owner of a furniture store, turned his two 100,000-square-foot warehouse into shelters. When asked if he was concerned about the furniture that was being used by those living there, he responded, “These people are nice. Theyre taking care of the furniture. Furnitures made to be sat on, slept on or laid on. Its just a product.”There are also many unsung heroes that are putting their lives at risk to help others. After discovering an elderly man trapped inside his truck, local people made a human chain through the dangerous water to drag him to safety.While there is not much anyone could have done to prevent the loss, people across the US are doing everything they can to help its people recover.24.

Self-concept is how students perceive（感知）their abilities to succeed on academic tasks. The data involved youth aged 5 to 18.The study considered childrens earlier achievement and their characteristics and backgrounds, including birth weight, race, gender, age, and their mothers education.The researchers found that childrens self-concept of their ability in math predicted later math achievement, while their self-concept of their ability in reading predicted later reading achievement.The finding suggests that the links between self-concept of ability and later achievement are specific to areas; that is, there is a link from students self-concept about reading to reading achievement, and from students self-concept about math to math achievement.“It is not unusual to see standardized measures of achievement predict achievement later in schooling, but it shows that there is more to understand.” says study coauthor Pamela Davis-Kean.The research also showed that success was not limited to students who perform at the top levels.“It involves in students with different levels of achievement in math and reading,” says Maria Ines Susperreguy, an assistant professor at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, who led the study. “Even the lowest-performing students who had a more positive view of their math and reading abilities had higher levels of achievement in math and reading.”Researchers say they dont know what parents or students did to create these beliefs, but its an issue they will research further.28. What can we know about the children in the study?A. They succeeded in maths.B. Their ages ranged from 5 to 18.C. They were from all over the world.D. They were well-performing children.29. What was considered when scientists did the research?A. Mothers career.B. Childrens weight.C. Childrens age.D. Family background.30. What inspiration can we get from this text?A. Success lies in hard work.B. Intelligence is a must to success.C. Abilities can contribute to success.D. Positive view matters much in success.31. What will the researchers probably study in the future?A. The effect of childrens beliefs.B. Students learning methods.C. Childrens future achievements.D. Ways to develop childrens confidence.DBirds feathers are some of the most strikingly variable animal characteristics that can be observed by the eyes. The patterns that we see in birds feathers are made up of combinations of scales, bars, and spots.We already know why birds have colored feathers. Generally, the color of feathers may protect a bird from being noticed by the enemy in the environment, or it can make a bird more appealing to potential mates by helping them to stand out. These aspects are well known. A greater mystery has been how the patterns are created.Dr. Ismael Galvn and his team studied the color of feathers to see what types of colors were present in birds complex feather patterns. The study shows they mainly consist of two types of colors: melanin（黑色素）, which produce a range of black, grey, brown, and orange color, and carotenoids（类胡萝卜色素）, which are used to create brighter colors.Birds cannot produce carotenoids on their own. For feathers with bright colors, birds must consume food items that contain these paints, and the carotenoids circulate through the blood and to the feather. Melanin, on the other hand, is produced by special cells in the birds bodies.The team found that about 32% if the species studied have complex color patterns, with the vast majority of these complex patterns produced by melanin rather than carotenoids. If the birds were artists, they would use carotenoids as a broad brush to produce color patches, with melanin as a detail paint brush to produce more complex designs.But a few birds are exceptions to this rule: Three bird families do have complex patterns without melanin.32. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The environment.B. The color.C. The feather.D. The enemy.33. What will happen if birds cant get enough carotenoids?A. Theyll gradually die out.B. Their color will be less bright.C. They will get caught eventually.D. Theyll be discovered more easily.34. What rule can we get from paragraph 5?A. All birds have complex color patterns.B. Birds are expert in painting colors.C. Melanin plays a greater part in bird colors.D. Carotenoids can bring 32% of the color patterns.35. Which can be the best title for the text?A. How Do Birds Get Their ColorsB. Which Color Is Common to BirdsC. How Do Birds Tell Different ColorsD. Why Birds Have Colored Feathers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。How to Pick the Perfect Family TentPeople like camping. But to ensure everyone has a good time, choosing the right family tent is important. 36 Heres how to choose the perfect tent for your family.First of all, consider the size of the camps. Generally speaking, four-and-six-person tents are popular with families. 37 But a couple of features（特点）can make all the difference. For families with small children, a tent with a single entrance is a better choice. This makes it easier to keep track of whos coming and going. Of course, two doors can offer added more convenience.Some tents require two full-grown adults to set them up. 38 Be sure to take into account the setup and breakdown needs of any model youre considering. It may be necessary to go with a smaller model, or even two smaller tents, rather than one large tent for your family.39 Or, if friends have a tent, see if you can borrow it for an overnight in your backyard. Youll quickly discover what you like and dont like.As an alternative, many outdoor shops have rental departments. Do your research to determine what style and size you think would work best, and find out if you can rent that model or one thats similar. Finally, if you are in a rush, ask if you can climb inside the tent at the store. 40A. Getting in and out of the tent sounds basic.B. To save money, you can make one on your own.C. But you can turn to anyone for help when necessary.D. It could be a problem if youre the only adult when camping.E. Take the tent you are considering out for a “test drive” before you buy.F. Its your home away from home, and the place where youll sleep and relax.G. This will give you a chance to assess all the features up close and in person.第三部分英语知识运用（百强校英语解析团队专供）（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My dad and I were enemies.

If so, youre not alone.61 (actual), some scientists believe that people got their love for the smell of rain from 62 (ancestor), who relied on wet weather for their survival.But what makes rain smell so nice? There are several smells associated with rainfall that people find pleasing.One of these smells 63 (call) “petrichor（尘土的味道）.” Petrichor, a term created in 1964 by two Australian scientists studying the smells of 64 (rain) weather, comes from some chemical reactions.During dry periods some plants produce oils, and when it rains, these oils go into the air. Another reaction occurs when chemicals 65 (produce) by some bacteria are sent out. All of these chemicals combine to create the pleasant pertichor smell when rain hits 66 ground.Another smell associated with rain is ozone（臭氧）. During a thunderstorm, lightning can split oxygen and another gad and 67 (it) in turn can combine into a new substance. This substance reacts with other chemicals to form ozone, 68 h
