B
Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature—not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have.
If the task was as a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to essays. It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum. Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the rock, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure.
In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are.
Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep beating in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become.
4. Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems?
A. To become literature professors. B. To prepare for the coming exams.
C. To compose more original poems. D. To relieve their future loneliness.
5. Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime?
A. It’s out of date to recite poems. B. Repetition wastes a lot of time.
C. Repetition ruins the poem’s beauty. D. It’s a shame to read poems on plane.
6. How does understanding poetry influence us?
A. By broadening self-understanding. B. By refreshing our good memories.
C. By helping us survive the hard life. D. By reminding us to forget the past.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph?
A. Doubtful. B. Reserved. C. Appreciative. D. Critical.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者朋友多年前被诗人Robert L. Hass布置了一项特别任务——背诵三首诗,以及作者自己后来开始背诵诗歌的经历和感悟。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have(他声称,这不是因为任何紧急的考试原因,而是为了让他们为将来不可避免的孤独时刻做好准备,届时诗歌将成为你唯一拥有的东西)。”可知,Robert L. Hass的目的是为了让学生在未来孤独时有所依靠,以缓解孤独感。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has(因为这个过程既简单又无聊,背诵一首伟大的诗总是开始得像是一种罪过。重复的无聊减少了它所具有的巨大魅力)。”可知,作者认为背诵诗歌的过程中,重复的无聊会破坏诗歌的魅力,因此开始背诵诗歌时就像是一种罪过。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are(换句话说,诗歌通过成为读者的一部分而不断存在。它之所以能做到这一点,是因为它是如此的具体,与我们如此的不同,以至于接受它扩展了我们对自己是什么的感觉)。”可知,理解诗歌可以扩展我们对自我的认识,影响我们对自我的理解。A选项“By broadening self-understanding.(通过拓宽自我理解)”符合题意。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become(我不会向你保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活变得更好,但它会让你变得更多:更多地接触语言,接触其他思想,也许还有你可能成为的样子)。”可知,作者对背诵诗歌持赞赏的态度,认为背诵诗歌可以让人更多地接触语言、其他思想和可能的自我。故选C。
For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
8. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues?
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apples new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
10. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____.
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
11. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了晕车的现象、原因以及苹果公司针对这一问题在iPhone和iPad上推出的“车辆运动提示”功能,旨在解释这一新功能的工作原理及其对用户的益处。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness.(苹果公司新推出的车辆运动提示功能旨在弥合这一差距,为那些容易晕车的人带来缓解。)”可知,苹果公司为解决晕车问题推出的车辆运动提示功能。对于经常旅行的人来说,他们在旅途中更容易受到晕车的困扰,而这个功能可以帮助他们缓解晕车症状,让旅途更加舒适,所以频繁旅行者会对该功能感兴趣。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.(当你的眼睛所看到的与身体所感觉到的不一致时,就会产生晕车现象。当你身处移动的交通工具中时,你的身体会通过前庭系统感知运动,但如果你的眼睛聚焦在一个静止的屏幕上,而这个屏幕并未反映出这种运动,大脑就会接收到混杂的信号。这种感官上的冲突会导致头晕、恶心以及全身不适——这些都是晕车患者再熟悉不过的症状了。)”可知,第二段开头提到什么情况下会产生晕车现象。随后详细解释了在移动的交通工具中,身体通过前庭系统感知运动,而眼睛聚焦静止屏幕会使大脑接收混杂信号,从而引发晕车的过程。所以这一段主要是在讲述晕车的原因。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This feature works by showing animated(动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.(该功能的工作原理是在屏幕周围显示一些动画小圆点,这些小圆点会与你所在交通工具的运动同时且同速移动。这些移动的提示有助于让身体感觉到的运动与眼睛看到的保持一致,从而有效减少导致晕车的感官上的不一致情况。)”可知,通过在屏幕周围显示动画小圆点,能够减少大脑中导致晕车的感官冲突。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇指出晕车问题会破坏旅途体验这一常见现象,接着介绍了晕车产生的原因,随后重点阐述了苹果公司针对晕车问题推出的车辆运动提示功能,包括其工作原理以及早期反馈显示的有效性等内容,整体都是围绕苹果公司推出的新设计来帮助人们告别晕车展开的。选项D“Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design(告别晕车:苹果推出其新设计)”与此相符。故选D。
For decades, “simpler is better” has been accepted as a universal truth in marketing. Nick Light, assistant professor of marketing at the UO Lundquist College of Business, has tested that assumption. He found that most consumers prefer offerings that appear to be easy to use and understand. However, pushing simplicity can have a hidden, costly downside.
“Simplicity is not a silver bullet,” Light said. This method might work for established companies with track records to back up their claims. But it can be risky for a start-up with no history or a company in a complicated market category where failures or breakdowns are more common.
Light’s earlier experience stimulated his interest in the study. He was a marketing manager at a direct-to-consumer mattress(床垫) company. With the catchword “one perfect mattress”, the company offered only one mattress model shipped directly to the consumer’s door, dramatically simplifying the mattress-buying process. “Some customers calling with even minor problems such as a slight discoloration in the material, would get really angry,” Light said. “They would say things like, “I don’t understand what’s so difficult about this,’ even when producing and shipping mattresses are quite complex. These customers were getting overly upset because the product and process had been labeled as simple.”
The study also showed that consumers judged the complexity of brands or products based on their mental connections. For example, when study participants viewed advertisements for two different companies, they formed mental pictures of the simplicity or complexity of the brand depending on how plain or busy the art was and the details provided in each ad.
Light also looked into product quality and customer opinions and found that consumers are less likely to recommend simpler brands after failures compared to more complex brands. Therefore, the lesson for marketers is to be more careful about building branding and advertising strategies around simplicity, because they could easily backfire if the product or service fails to deliver.
12. What does the underlined words “a silver bullet” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. A risky investment. B. A business strategy. C. A quick-fix method. D. A cure-all solution.
13. What did the use of simplicity in the mattress business lead to?
A. Rising customer dissatisfaction. B. Reduced expenses for producers.
C. Longer transport time for goods. D. More comments from customers.
14. What mainly influence consumers’ views on a brand according to the study?
A. The company’s historical background. B. The impressions shaped by ad design.
C. The advertising reviews on its website. D. The richness of color in its packaging.
15. What advice does the author give to marketers?
A. Advertise after-sale customer service. B. Be cautious about simplicity-themed efforts.
C. Stress product quality over simplicity. D. Improve brand presence through social media.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了品牌过度简化可能带来的负面影响和消费者的反应。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Simplicity is not (简化不是)”,以及“But it can be risky for a start-up with no history or a company in a complicated market category where failures or breakdowns are more common. (但对于没有历史的初创企业或处于复杂市场类别,失败或故障的公司来说,这可能存在风险)”可知,这里simplicity并不是一个能解决所有问题的方案,因此a silver bullet指的是cure-all solution“万能药”。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘Some customers calling with even minor problems such as a slight discoloration in the material, would get really angry,’ Light said. (‘有些顾客打电话来询问即使是很小的问题,例如材料的轻微变色,也会非常生气,’Light 说)”可知,在床垫业务中推崇简化导致客户不满情绪上升。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“For example, when study participants viewed advertisements for two different companies, they formed mental pictures of the simplicity or complexity of the brand depending on how plain or busy the art was and the details provided in each ad. (例如,当研究参与者观看两家不同公司的广告时,他们会根据艺术的简单或复杂程度以及每个广告中提供的细节,在脑海中形成品牌简单或复杂的画面)”可知,广告设计给消费者形成的印象影响他们对品牌的看法。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, the lesson for marketers is to be more careful about building branding and advertising strategies around simplicity, because they could easily backfire if the product or service fails to deliver. (因此,营销人员的教训是要更加谨慎地围绕简化建立品牌和广告策略,因为如果产品或服务未能交付,它们很容易适得其反)”可知,作者建议营销人员在以简化为主题的营销努力中要谨慎。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共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。
What’s social jet lag (社交时差)? Social jet lag occurs when you stay up later and then sleep in later on weekends than you do on weekdays. Changing the hours that you sleep from day to day affects your body’s natural internal clock.
Social jet lag affects the body similarly to travel jet lag. When you shift your sleeping hours, your body feels as if it were in a different time zone. ___16___ For example, if you stay up late on Saturday night and then sleep in on Sunday morning, you will likely have a hard time falling asleep on Sunday night. This is because your body has not been awake for enough hours to feel tired at your usual Sunday bedtime. ___17___
Yet, frequently changing your body’s internal clock doesn’t just cause daytime sleepiness.
___18___ Social jet lag has been linked with several chronic (慢性的) health problems. Changes in internal clock caused by inconsistent sleeping hours lead to changes in the circulatory (循环) system and raise the risk of heart disease. Individuals who regularly experience social jet lag are also more likely to smoke cigarettes and consume more caffeine. These habits can significantly influence sleep.
Sticking to your sleep schedule is an important part of addressing social jet lag. ___19___ A 2019 study found that when participants kept their sleep and wakeup times within 15 to 30 minutes of the same time each day, they reported better sleep, less depression, and less stress. Study participants were also able to improve their cognitive reaction time scores.
___20___ If you usually change your regular sleep schedule on weekends, it may be time to try to keep a more consistent one. While it may feel difficult to keep the same sleeping hours each day, you will likely notice the health benefits right away.
A. It can significantly impact your health as well.
B. This can make falling and staying asleep difficult.
C. Moreover, establishing a regular sleep schedule is crucial.
D. Adjust your sleep schedule, and everything will be OK.
E. This likely makes waking up early on Monday morning difficult.
F. Aim to go to bed at the same time every day, even on weekends.
G. In general, social jet lag is a common problem that we may all experience.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交时差、其危害以及应对方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“When you shift your sleeping hours, your body feels as if it were in a different time zone.(当你改变睡眠时间时,你的身体会感觉好像处于不同的时区)”可知,本句承接上文,说明身体感觉处于不同的时区所带来的影响,B选项“这会使入睡和保持睡眠变得困难”是对其解释说明,This指代改变睡眠时间这种情况。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“For example, if you stay up late on Saturday night and then sleep in on Sunday morning, you will likely have a hard time falling asleep on Sunday night. This is because your body has not been awake for enough hours to feel tired at your usual Sunday bedtime.(例如,如果你周六晚熬夜,周日早上又睡过头,那么周日晚上你可能很难入睡。这是因为你的身体没有清醒足够的时间,在你通常的周日就寝时间感到疲倦)”可知,周日晚上你很可能很难入睡,会导致周一早上早起变得困难, 故E选项“这可能使得周一早上很难早起”符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Yet, frequently changing your body’s internal clock doesn’t just cause daytime sleepiness.(然而,频繁改变身体的生物钟并不仅仅会导致白天困倦)”以及后文“Social jet lag has been linked with several chronic (慢性的) health problems. Changes in internal clock caused by inconsistent sleeping hours lead to changes in the circulatory (循环) system and raise the risk of heart disease. Individuals who regularly experience social jet lag are also more likely to smoke cigarettes and consume more caffeine. These habits can significantly influence sleep.(社交时差与几种慢性健康问题有关。睡眠时间不一致导致的生物钟变化会导致循环系统的变化,从而增加患心脏病的风险。经常经历社交时差的人也更有可能吸烟和摄入更多的咖啡因。这些习惯会严重影响睡眠)”可知,本段主要说明了改变生物钟对健康的影响。A 选项“它也会极大地影响你的健康”符合语境。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Sticking to your sleep schedule is an important part of addressing social jet lag.(坚持你的睡眠时间表是解决社交时差的一个重要部分)”可知,本段主要介绍社交时差的解决方法:尽量每天在同一时间上床睡觉, 即使在周末也是如此。F选项“每天在同一时间上床睡觉,即使是在周末”符合语境,故选F。
【20题详解】
根据后文“If you usually change your regular sleep schedule on weekends, it may be time to try to keep a more consistent one. While it may feel difficult to keep the same sleeping hours each day, you will likely notice the health benefits right away.( 如果你经常在周末改变你的正常睡眠时间表,也许是时候试着保持一个更一致的时间表了。虽然每天保持相同的睡眠时间可能很难,但你可能会立即注意到健康的好处)”可知,本句叙述“社交时差”的事实现象,后面给出解决方法,故G选项“总的来说,社交时差是我们都可能经历过的一个普遍问题”符合语境。故选G。

Should We Use AI When Doing Homework
Recently there has been a dramatic increase in the use of AI to help with homework. Although AI can bring benefits, I think the disadvantages for students are greater.
To begin with, relying too much on AI can lead to laziness and prevent students from developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Another important factor to consider is the fact that using AI tools for homework might promote dishonesty, as students may present AI-generated content as their own work. A final point to consider is that if one depends too much on AI, they may lack confidence in their own abilities.
To sum up, one cannot deny the fact that constant use of AI for homework has its disadvantages, so when you think about using AI, you should consider these many factors.
Should We Use AI When Doing Homework
Is using AI for homework good or bad? There are certainly many disadvantages, but in my opinion, the advantages are much greater.
The first advantage of using AI for homework is its efficiency. Al can quickly gather the needed information, which allows students to analyze the data rather than spending hours searching online. Another advantage is that students can better understand the learning difficulties with the help of AI. For example, with AI breaking down the steps of a solution, students will find it easier to grasp the problem. Finally, AI can provide instant feedback to language-related homework. A few seconds are needed for AI to identify and correct the grammar mistakes in a long article.
In summary, AI can be a useful tool for homework when used as an aid for learning.

Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature—not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have.
If the task was as a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to essays. It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum. Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the rock, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure.
In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are.
Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep beating in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become.
4. Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems?
A. To become literature professors. B. To prepare for the coming exams.
C. To compose more original poems. D. To relieve their future loneliness.
5. Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime?
A. It’s out of date to recite poems. B. Repetition wastes a lot of time.
C. Repetition ruins the poem’s beauty. D. It’s a shame to read poems on plane.
6. How does understanding poetry influence us?
A. By broadening self-understanding. B. By refreshing our good memories.
C. By helping us survive the hard life. D. By reminding us to forget the past.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph?
A. Doubtful. B. Reserved. C. Appreciative. D. Critical.
For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
8. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues?
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apples new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
10. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____.
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
11. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design
For decades, “simpler is better” has been accepted as a universal truth in marketing. Nick Light, assistant professor of marketing at the UO Lundquist College of Business, has tested that assumption. He found that most consumers prefer offerings that appear to be easy to use and understand. However, pushing simplicity can have a hidden, costly downside.
“Simplicity is not a silver bullet,” Light said. This method might work for established companies with track records to back up their claims. But it can be risky for a start-up with no history or a company in a complicated market category where failures or breakdowns are more common.
Light’s earlier experience stimulated his interest in the study. He was a marketing manager at a direct-to-consumer mattress(床垫) company. With the catchword “one perfect mattress”, the company offered only one mattress model shipped directly to the consumer’s door, dramatically simplifying the mattress-buying process. “Some customers calling with even minor problems such as a slight discoloration in the material, would get really angry,” Light said. “They would say things like, “I don’t understand what’s so difficult about this,’ even when producing and shipping mattresses are quite complex. These customers were getting overly upset because the product and process had been labeled as simple.”
The study also showed that consumers judged the complexity of brands or products based on their mental connections. For example, when study participants viewed advertisements for two different companies, they formed mental pictures of the simplicity or complexity of the brand depending on how plain or busy the art was and the details provided in each ad.
Light also looked into product quality and customer opinions and found that consumers are less likely to recommend simpler brands after failures compared to more complex brands. Therefore, the lesson for marketers is to be more careful about building branding and advertising strategies around simplicity, because they could easily backfire if the product or service fails to deliver.
12. What does the underlined words “a silver bullet” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. A risky investment. B. A business strategy. C. A quick-fix method. D. A cure-all solution.
13. What did the use of simplicity in the mattress business lead to?
A. Rising customer dissatisfaction. B. Reduced expenses for producers.
C. Longer transport time for goods. D. More comments from customers.
14. What mainly influence consumers’ views on a brand according to the study?
A. The company’s historical background. B. The impressions shaped by ad design.
C. The advertising reviews on its website. D. The richness of color in its packaging.
15. What advice does the author give to marketers?
A. Advertise after-sale customer service. B. Be cautious about simplicity-themed efforts.
C. Stress product quality over simplicity. D. Improve brand presence through social media.

What’s social jet lag (社交时差)? Social jet lag occurs when you stay up later and then sleep in later on weekends than you do on weekdays. Changing the hours that you sleep from day to day affects your body’s natural internal clock.
Social jet lag affects the body similarly to travel jet lag. When you shift your sleeping hours, your body feels as if it were in a different time zone. ___16___ For example, if you stay up late on Saturday night and then sleep in on Sunday morning, you will likely have a hard time falling asleep on Sunday night. This is because your body has not been awake for enough hours to feel tired at your usual Sunday bedtime. ___17___
Yet, frequently changing your body’s internal clock doesn’t just cause daytime sleepiness.
___18___ Social jet lag has been linked with several chronic (慢性的) health problems. Changes in internal clock caused by inconsistent sleeping hours lead to changes in the circulatory (循环) system and raise the risk of heart disease. Individuals who regularly experience social jet lag are also more likely to smoke cigarettes and consume more caffeine. These habits can significantly influence sleep.
Sticking to your sleep schedule is an important part of addressing social jet lag. ___19___ A 2019 study found that when participants kept their sleep and wakeup times within 15 to 30 minutes of the same time each day, they reported better sleep, less depression, and less stress. Study participants were also able to improve their cognitive reaction time scores.
___20___ If you usually change your regular sleep schedule on weekends, it may be time to try to keep a more consistent one. While it may feel difficult to keep the same sleeping hours each day, you will likely notice the health benefits right away.
A. It can significantly impact your health as well.
B. This can make falling and staying asleep difficult.
C. Moreover, establishing a regular sleep schedule is crucial.
D. Adjust your sleep schedule, and everything will be OK.
E. This likely makes waking up early on Monday morning difficult.
F. Aim to go to bed at the same time every day, even on weekends.
G. In general, social jet lag is a common problem that we may all experience.
