The perfect birthday present
Toby watched the advertisement for the new Super Robot man. It was half man, half machine and could
transform into an airplane, a boat, and a racecar.
“Dad! Look!” Toby pointed to the television screen. “That’s what I want for my birthday. Can I get one?
Please!”
“We’ll see.” Dad said. “Your birthday is only two weeks away. New toys like this can be hard to find
sometimes.”
“Hard to find? But it’s on TV.”
Dad laughed, “That’s what will make it difficult to find. Everyone will be looking to buy it.”
“Everyone?” Toby thought. Well then, he’d tell everyone that he wanted a Super Robot man. Someone would
be able to find it then, right?
Before bed, Toby called his grandparents and told them all about the Super Robot man. Then he added a note
at the bottom of each party invitation so that all his friends would know he wanted a Super Robot man.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司For two weeks, all he talked about was the Super Robot man and all the cool things it could do. His friends
and family nodded and smiled as Toby went on and on about how it was the perfect birthday present.

was excited, but everyone else looked worried. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
Dad handed him a box. “I think you should open another present.”
Toby opened it. “Another Super Robot man?”
His father handed him more boxes. Each one had a Super Robot man. Toby laughed. “I guess I got what I
asked for.” He handed an action figure to each of his friends. “Now we all have one. Let’s go try them out.”
“You’re not upset?” Mom asked.
“Why would I be? I got what I wanted, and now all my friends have one too. It was the perfect birthday.”

The world’s leading researchers are studying our senses. From the connection between taste and smell, to the
idea of “scent（气味）training”, there’s so much more than we think to our sense of smell.
Your sense of smell is largely responsible for your ability to taste food. “Flavor（味道）is really an
experience that joins what happens on your tongue with smell,” says a professor at the University of York, UK.
“When you put something in your mouth, the molecules（分子）go into your nose. Maybe your tongue can tell
there’s fat in that chocolate, and that’s something the brain finds very satisfying, but the formal chocolate
experience comes from all the molecules going into your nose.”
Women out-perform men when both groups are asked to tell a certain number of scents
学科网（北京）股份有限公司That holds true across all age groups. This is because women are better at noticing a smell and better at
describing it with language. Research shows that when people were asked to memorize eight scents and were then
given a scent test, the women were better able to tell whether or not a scent was one of the ones that had been
memorized. Women were also better at recognizing the scents by name.
Your eating habits may change because of the loss of smell
“You think, ‘I remember how this tasted in the past. I guess they don’t have the same tasty tomatoes or meat
any more, ’”says a researcher. “But in fact, it’s your sense of smell that may be working less.” Losing the sense of
smell is likely age-related or caused by a cold.
The loss of smell may even change people’s eating habits. Some people will lose interest in eating or don’t
want to eat with their friends. Others will start eating lots of junk food, spices, salt, to try to make eating more
enjoyable.
Scent training might protect our sense of smell
The loss of smell is not the end of the world. Some research suggests that scent training might protect our
sense of smell. By breathing in strong smells on purpose for several weeks, people become more sensitive（敏感
的）to all scents and improve their ability to smell. Researchers found the MRI brain images of people undergoing
scent training got thicker in the parts of the brain responsible for dealing with the role of scent, which means it’s not
just a nose that is trained, it’s the whole brain.
27. What is responsible for flavor when you eat something?
A. The teeth and brain. B. The nose and tongue.
C. The brain and nose. D. The tongue and teeth.
28. What can we know about the sense of smell from the passage?
A. Scent training can help men smell more things.
B. Women are more creative about naming scents.
C. Women are better than men at recognizing scents.
D. Brain training can improve men’s ability to smell.
29. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. What you smell may not be real B. Unlock facts about the sense of smell
C. How to develop a good sense of taste D. More than you think to the sense of taste
D
It’s certainly good to be nice. Whether it’s helping a friend with homework, watching their favorite shows
even if they’re not your thing or giving up a little time and energy to do something for a friend is a praiseworthy
decision. Or, one might be the bigger person and agree to take the short end of the stick in an argument, all to
学科网（北京）股份有限公司satisfy others and avoid further problems. Still, we need to control our niceness: niceness is valuable, but it’s
definitely not without downsides.
To be clear. I’m not advocating（倡导）for selfishness. In fact, I’d encourage everyone to do small favors for
the people they care about. Helping others makes us happy. It also gives us a greater sense of purpose and
belonging, as we feel more connected to those we do favors for. The same goes for sacrificing （牺牲）a little on
our part to end a disagreement, which might feel uncomfortable in the short term, but is in the end for the greater
good.
Yet, we need to be careful about where our niceness comes from. When our desire（渴望）to help others
comes from a need to be seen as a good or friendly person, our motivations （动机）become increasingly
dangerous. For example, we might want others to relate to us, so we say that we like their favorite songs when we
don’t. Being agreeable all the time makes us become a product of the people around us instead of having our own
special personality.
Additionally, avoiding unreasonable agreeability is even more important. We can’t help offering to do too
many favors because our desire to be seen as selfless and kind outweighs our worries for our own well-being. If
you always support others emotionally, or help them with their studies, that habit might become part of how you
view yourself. In other words, you see yourself as someone willing to lend a hand to others when they are in need.
Agreeability crosses the experiences of all kinds of people, and it can be especially true within communities
where selflessness is important. From my experience at Harvey Mudd College, students are known for caring for
others-offering to help their classmates with their studies. This common view of people’s willingness to help can
put stress on Mudders to sacrifice their energy, even if they don’t have the skills to do so. Instead, they should
remind themselves of their responsibilities, and then decide if they have the ability to lend a hand.
Finally, making kindness a habit is an honorable goal. But as with all things, moderation（适度）is key, and
sometimes, sacrificing a little too much can cause more harm than good.
30. What does the underlined part “take the short end of the stick” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Say sorry first. B. Hit the other person. C. Suffer bad results. D. Make up for mistakes.
31. Unreasonable agreeability may stop us from ________.
A. viewing ourselves properly B. having a sense of belonging
C. developing social relationships D. caring about our own happiness
32. Why is “Harvey Mudd College” mentioned in the passage?
A. To spread the spirit of selflessness within communities.
.
B To show an effect of widespread niceness in communities.
.
C To criticize the students who sacrifice too much for others.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. To explain responsibilities people should take within communities.
33. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. being nice can make people easily understood by others
B. being selfless helps people improve their social skills
C. people should think twice before saying “yes”
D. people who help others are more popular

四、阅读表达（每题2分, 共10分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Could what you believe about yourself have an effect on your success or failure? According to Stanford
psychologist Carol Dweck, your beliefs play a key role in what you want and whether you achieve it. Dweck has
found that it is your mindset that plays an important role in deciding achievement and success. So, what exactly is a
mindset? A mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how
you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.
According to Dweck, there are two basic mindsets: fixed and growth. If you have a fixed mindset, you believe
your abilities are fixed and therefore can’t be changed. You may also believe that your talent and intelligence（智
商）alone leads to success. And effort is not required. If you have a growth mindset, you believe that your talents
and abilities can be developed over time through effort and determination（决心）. People with this mindset don’t
necessarily believe that everyone can become Einstein or Mozart just because they try. They do, however, believe
that everyone can get smarter or more talented if they work at it.
Your mindset plays an important role in how you deal with life’s challenges. When children have a growth
mindset, they hunger for learning and have a desire to work hard and discover new things. This often translates into
achievement in education. As adults, these same people are more likely to keep going in the face of difficulties.
Instead of giving up, adults with a growth mindset view it as an opportunity to learn and grow. On the other hand,
those with fixed mindsets are more likely to give up in the face of challenging situations. Dweck suggests that
people should get rid of their fixed mindset. Here’s how:
● Focus on the journey. When building a growth mindset, it is important to see the value in your journey.
When you’re fixated on the end result, you miss out on all the things you could be learning along the way.
● Add “yet” to your life. If you’re having trouble with a task, remind yourself that you just haven’t mastered
it “yet”. Adding this word into your vocabulary shows that in the face of troubles, you can overcome （克服）
anything.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司● Pay attention to your words and thoughts. Replace negative thoughts with more positive ones to build a
growth mindset.
● Take on challenges. Making mistakes is one of the best ways to learn. So, instead of shying away from
challenges, welcome them.
