Often called the “father of modern advertising”, Ogilvy completely changed the industry with his unique marketing approach based on the combination of art and science. Ogilvy was a big advocate of market research. He believed that understanding the customer was the key factor in any successful advertising campaign. So, marketers should treat consumers with respect and try to understand their psychology. Ogilvy studied consumer behavior carefully, allowing him to know what influenced purchasing decisions. Ogilvy believed that long copy — ads with more detailed information — often performed better than short ones. He argued that if consumers were interested in the product, they would read the entire ad. His famous Rolls-Royce campaign is a typical example: the ad featured a long copy description of the car’s quality, combined with a headline that read, ‘At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock.’ This approach contradicted the then-popular belief that people couldn’t focus on long and wouldn’t read long advertisements. Ogilvy’s success with long-copy ads proved that detailed information could also absorb consumers effectively. Ogilvy believed that every piece of advertising should strengthen a brand’s personality and reputation. He advised brands to focus on creating a unique, recognizable identity that distinguished them from competitors. For instance, his work for Dove introduced the idea of Dove being more than just soap, it became a symbol of beauty. Ogilvy believed that the most successful advertisements were built around a central, powerful idea that could excite the imagination of consumers. He famously said, ‘If it doesn’t sell, it isn’t creative,’ This means that creativity should not just be about aesthetics (美学); it should have a purpose — to boost sales and brand loyalty. Ogilvy stressed that advertising should get across how a product benefits consumers, rather than just listing its features. He argued that consumers cared more about what a product would do for them than its technical advantages. His famous ad for Rolls-Royce, for example, didn’t just list features of the car; it highlighted the experience and power that came with owning a Rolls-Royce. The benefit was clear: wealth and excellence. 4. What do we know about David Ogilvy? A. He proved to be a British art genius. B. He created the advertising industry. C. He initiated the modern advertising. D. He advocated integrating art into ads. 5. What is the basis for David’s marketing ideas? A. Consumers’ psychology. B. Products’ perfect quality. C. Consumers’ reading ability. D. Products’ design and image. 6. Which slogan of a product might David Ogilvy agree with? A. Rolls-Royce brings you speed and thrill. B. Rolls-Royce represents your perfection. C. Dove is full of pleasant smell and feeling. D. Dove is a soap making the washing easy. 7. What is the writing purpose of this text? A. To show David’s advertising principles. B. To persuade readers to learn from David. C. To emphasize David’s artistic potentials. D. To explain David’s great advertisements. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍现代广告之父大卫・奥格威，围绕他的一系列经典广告理念展开，并结合劳斯莱斯、多芬等广告案例，讲解其广告创作思路与核心原则。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Often called the “father of modern advertising”, Ogilvy completely changed the industry with his unique marketing approach based on the combination of art and science.(奥格威常被称为“现代广告之父”，他以艺术与科学相结合的独特营销方式彻底改变了这个行业)”可知，他开创了现代广告。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He believed that understanding the customer was the key factor in any successful advertising campaign. So, marketers should treat consumers with respect and try to understand their psychology.(他认为了解客户是任何成功广告活动的关键因素。因此，营销人员应该尊重消费者并尝试理解他们的心理)”可知，大卫营销理念的基础是消费者心理。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Ogilvy believed that every piece of advertising should strengthen a brand’s personality and reputation. He advised brands to focus on creating a unique, recognizable identity that distinguished them from competitors.(奥格威认为每一则广告都应该强化品牌的个性和声誉。他建议品牌专注于创造一种独特的、可识别的身份，使它们与竞争对手区分开来)”以及最后一段“Ogilvy stressed that advertising should get across how a product benefits consumers, rather than just listing its features.(奥格威强调广告应该传达产品如何使消费者受益，而不仅仅是列出其特征)”可知，他会认同能体现品牌个性和给消费者带来益处的广告语。B选项“劳斯莱斯，代表你的完美”符合题意。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“David Ogilvy was a British advertising pioneer, creative genius, and the founder of the famous company Ogilvy & Mather. Often called the “father of modern advertising”, Ogilvy completely changed the industry with his unique marketing approach based on the combination of art and science.(戴维・奥格威是英国广告界先驱、创意天才，也是知名企业奥美集团的创始人。他常被称作“现代广告之父”，其独创的营销理念融合艺术与科学，彻底改写了整个广告行业)”可知，文章主要目的是介绍了大卫·奥格威在广告方面的各种理念。 C Psychologically, the halo effect refers to the tendency for people to let one positive trait or overall impression of a person influence their perceptions of that person’s other characteristics. First described by psychologist Edward Thorndike in the early twentieth century, the halo effect demonstrates how initial judgments, such as physical attractiveness or confidence, can affect how we evaluate unrelated qualities like intelligence, trustworthiness, or competence. This cognitive bias (认知偏差) is not limited to personal interactions; it also shapes how we perceive celebrities, politicians, teachers, and even products or brands. The mechanism behind the halo effect is rooted in human cognition, as individuals often rely on mental shortcuts, or heuristics (启发式), to make quick decisions about people and situations. When we notice something positive about a person—such as a friendly smile or a neat appearance—we are more likely to assume that they possess additional desirable traits, sometimes without sufficient evidence. This process can lead to errors in judgment, as our overall impression may overshadow objective evaluation of specific skills or behaviors. The halo effect has significant implications in various areas of life, including education, the workplace, and the judicial system (司法系统). For example, teachers may unconsciously grade students more favorably if they appear enthusiastic or well-behaved, regardless of their actual academic performance. In hiring or promotion decisions, employers might overlook a candidate’s weaknesses if their first impression is particularly strong. Even in courtrooms, research has shown that physically attractive defendants are sometimes treated more kindly than others accused of similar offenses. Understanding the halo effect is important because it highlights the need for critical thinking and objective assessment in our daily lives. By being aware of this bias, individuals can make more balanced and fair decisions, whether judging others’ abilities, evaluating products, or interpreting media representations. In conclusion, the halo effect serves as a reminder that human perceptions are not always reliable, and that striving for objectivity can help minimize the influence of first impressions on our judgments. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept. C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics. 9. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The influence of first impressions. B. The advantage of human cognition. C. The underlying logic of the effect. D. The evaluating role of evidence. 10. What does the author think of the halo effect in our daily lives? A. Short-sighted. B. Effective. C. Reliable. D. One-sided. 11. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. The halo effect: a cognitive shortcut that simplifies judgments B. The halo effect: why attractive people enjoy unfair advantages C. The halo effect: a psychological bias needing urgent corrections D. The halo effect: how first impressions dominate our perceptions 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍心理学中的晕轮效应，阐释其概念、形成原理，列举它在教育、职场、司法等领域带来的影响，并提醒人们正视这一认知偏差，力求客观判断。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Psychologically, the halo effect refers to the tendency for people to let one positive trait or overall impression of a person influence their perceptions of that person’s other characteristics. (从心理学角度讲，晕轮效应指的是人们倾向于让对一个人的某一积极特质或整体印象影响对其其他特征的认知。)”可知，作者开篇通过给晕轮效应下定义来引入话题。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The mechanism behind the halo effect is rooted in human cognition, as individuals often rely on mental shortcuts, or heuristics, to make quick decisions about people and situations. (晕轮效应背后的机制源于人类认知，因为人们常常依赖心理捷径，即启发式，来对人和情境快速做出判断。)”可知，该段重点阐述晕轮效应背后的内在逻辑。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, teachers may unconsciously grade students more favorably if they appear enthusiastic or well-behaved, regardless of their actual academic performance. In hiring or promotion decisions, employers might overlook a candidate’s weaknesses if their first impression is particularly strong. Even in courtrooms, research has shown that physically attractive defendants are sometimes treated more kindly than others accused of similar offenses. (例如，教师可能会无意识地给那些看起来热情或表现良好的学生更高的分数，而不考虑他们的实际学业成绩。在招聘或晋升决策中，如果第一印象特别好，雇主可能会忽视候选人的弱点。甚至在法庭上，研究表明外表有吸引力的被告有时比其他被控类似罪行的人受到更宽容的对待。)”可知，晕轮效应会导致人们的判断不客观，作者认为它是片面的。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章介绍了晕轮效应背后的机制，它源于人类认知中常依赖心理捷径做快速判断，当注意到某人积极方面时，会在缺乏足够证据的情况下假定其具有其他理想特质，这可能导致判断失误。此外，还阐述了晕轮效应在教育、职场和司法系统等生活各领域的影响，强调理解晕轮效应有助于提醒我们在日常生活中保持批判性思维和客观评估，减少第一印象对判断的影响。所以D选项“The halo effect: how first impressions dominate our perceptions (晕轮效应：第一印象如何主导我们的认知)”为最佳标题。 D Are you tired of running out of room on your mousepad (鼠标垫) every day? If so, you might like the Padrone Primera mouse. This product has been in development for the past 10 years. Although we have seen various other attempts at finger worn computer mice, none of them have worked quite like this one. The device is worn on the index finger (食指) of the user’s dominant hand. Among other electronics, it includes a motion sensor, a forward-facing camera, a microprocessor, a Bluetooth component and a rechargeable battery. Making use of input from the motion sensor and the camera, the microprocessor is able to identify specific finger or hand movements, plus it’s able to see the end of the finger along with the surface directly below it. Padrone is quick to point out that all the processing takes place within the mouse, so users don’t need to be concerned about images being sent to the Internet. The Primera is powered up by double-tapping (双击) the side of the index finger with the thumb. From there, sliding the fingertip across the surface of the desk moves the onscreen pointer accordingly. A desk tap with the index finger serves as a left click, while tapping the middle finger produces a right click. Scrolling is managed by sliding the index and middle fingers together. Pressing the thumb against the side of the index finger allows users to drag and drop items. And when the hand is moved to the keyboard to start typing, the Primera sees the keyboard and automatically goes into standby mode until the hand is moved back to the desk. It is important to note that the device only works on reasonably well-lit surfaces that don’t have overly chaotic color patterns. As for its battery life, one 100-minute USB charge is said to be sufficient for one full work day. And last but not least, the device should work with any tablet or computer that accepts a Bluetooth mouse, without any added software. 12. What is special about the Padrone Primera mouse? A. Its working mode. B. Its finger-worn pattern. C. Its external design. D. Its rechargeable battery. 13. What does the underlined word ‘standby’ in paragraph 5 mean? A. Ready. B. Take-over. C. Power-off. D. Initial. 14. What makes the Padrone Primera mouse work better? A. A simple patterned surface. B. A bigger index finger. C. A well-designed mousepad. D. A higher Internet speed. 15. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The evolution of computer mice. B. A revolutionary wearable mouse ring. C. The efficient use of bluetooth device. D. An advance in motion sensor technology. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍一款佩戴在手指上的新型鼠标，讲解其构造、使用方式、使用条件及相关性能。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Although we have seen various other attempts at finger worn computer mice, none of them have worked quite like this one.(虽然我们见过多款戴在手指上的电脑鼠标，但没有一款的工作方式和这款一样)”可知，这款鼠标的特别之处在于它的工作模式。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“And when the hand is moved to the keyboard to start typing, the Primera sees the keyboard and automatically goes into standby mode until the hand is moved back to the desk.(当手移到键盘上开始打字时，这款鼠标感应到键盘并自动进入standby模式，直到手移回桌面)”推测，当手开始在键盘上打字时，鼠标就进入待机模式，直到手再次回到桌面。因此standby意为“待命的”，与ready意思接近。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“It is important to note that the device only works on reasonably well-lit surfaces that don’t have overly chaotic color patterns.(需要重点注意的是，该设备仅能在光线充足、色彩图案不过于杂乱的表面使用)”可知，图案简洁的表面能让这款鼠标使用效果更好。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段中的“Are you tired of running out of room on your mousepad (鼠标垫) every day? If so, you might like the Padrone Primera mouse. This product has been in development for the past 10 years. Although we have seen various other attempts at finger worn computer mice, none of them have worked quite like this one.(你是否厌倦了每天鼠标垫空间不够用？如果是，你或许会喜欢帕德罗内普里梅拉鼠标。这款产品已研发十年。虽然我们见过多款戴在手指上的电脑鼠标，但没有一款的工作方式和这款一样)”可知，文章主要介绍一款创新的穿戴式手指鼠标。 第二节 (共5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A good leader needs to know how to connect with the people around and see their team’s full potential and encourages personal growth.

Leaders who show their appreciation in the form of praise will naturally attract and inspire those around them. Employees deserve to feel as though their efforts are being acknowledged by superiors. It helps boost productivity levels and confidence in themselves.(对于那些留意你人生点滴成就的人，你很难不对其心生好感。懂得用赞美表达赏识的领导者，自然而然能吸引并鼓舞身边的人。员工理应感受到自己的付出得到了上级的认可，这既有助于提升工作效率，也能增强个人自信心)”围绕肯定他人成就、用表扬表达认可展开叙述，A选项“Express your appreciation.(表达你的赞赏)”概括本段主旨，符合小标题格式。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题1分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After finishing my master’s degree in England, I received a call for my first interview.

In recent years, he noted, a growing number of Chinese works ____40____ (translate) and published abroad, allowing international readers ____41____ (gain) a vivid, multidimensional, and authentic view of contemporary China.

Initiated 45. and 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了2024年3月11日中国文学在伦敦书展上成为焦点，展现了中英两国文学与出版领域的积极交流，还介绍了相关活动及项目，强调文学在促进文明相互理解中的桥梁作用。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：2024年3月11日，中国文学在伦敦书展上成为焦点，展示了中国与英国之间积极的文学与出版交流。此句已有谓语动词“took”，所以“demonstrate”要用非谓语动词形式。“Chinese literature took center stage”与“demonstrate active literary and publishing exchanges”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词demonstrating作伴随状语。 【37题详解】 考查时态。句意：中国驻英国大使馆文化公使衔参赞李立言在一系列发布仪式开幕式上表示：“文学作为文化表达的一种关键形式，将继续充当文明之间相互理解的桥梁。”根据语境，这里表达客观事实，用一般现在时，或看作从过去持续到现在的动作，用现在完成时。主语不可数，谓语动词用单数形式。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：中国驻英国大使馆文化公使衔参赞李立言在一系列发布仪式开幕式上表示：“文学作为文化表达的一种关键形式，将继续充当文明之间相互理解的桥梁。”between civilizations“在不同的文明之间”是固定搭配。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：中国驻英国大使馆文化公使衔参赞李立言在一系列发布仪式开幕式上表示：“文学作为文化表达的一种关键形式，将继续充当文明之间相互理解的桥梁。”根据“a series of（一系列）”可知，此处应用名词复数，ceremony的复数形式为ceremonies。 【40题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：他指出，近年来，越来越多的中国作品被翻译并在国外出版，让国际读者得以生动、多维度、真实地了解当代中国。根据时间状语“In recent years”可知，此处应用现在完成时；又因“works”与“translate”之间是被动关系，所以要用现在完成时的被动语态“have/has been +过去分词”，主语“a growing number of Chinese works”是复数，所以谓语用have been translated。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他指出，近年来，越来越多的中国作品被翻译并在国外出版，让国际读者得以生动、多维度、真实地了解当代中国。allow sb. to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“允许某人做某事”，所以此处用动词不定式to gain。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：活动期间，“中国青年作家国际推广计划”正式启动，这标志着向全球读者介绍当代中国声音迈出了重要一步。此处修饰动词launched，应用副词，official的副词形式为officially，意为“正式地”。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：活动期间，“中国青年作家国际推广计划”正式启动，这标志着向全球读者介绍当代中国声音迈出了重要一步。step为可数名词单数，此处泛指“一步”，且major是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该计划由中国作家协会国际部发起，多家中国和国际文学机构共同组织，由《中国出版传媒商报》牵头。“initiate”与“the program”之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词initiated作状语，句首首字母大写。 【45题详解】 考查连词。句意：该计划由中国作家协会国际部发起，多家中国和国际文学机构共同组织，由《中国出版传媒商报》牵头。“Initiated by...”与“co-organized by...”是并列关系，所以用连词and连接。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校正在进行英语短视频比赛，你制作了一个春假外出旅游的英语短视频，请你给外教Stanley写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 介绍视频； 2. 询求建议。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Stanley, I hope you’re doing well. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Stanley, I hope you’re doing well.

I would watch him tie his shoes in the quiet dark. He never showed off about medals or fast times. He just tugged his laces, looked at me, and said, ‘The real race isn’t about crossing the finish line. It’s about never giving up on yourself.” By high school, running was the one thing I didn’t have to explain. When our school announced the spring 4×100m relay tryouts, I signed up without hesitation. To my surprise, Amir was right behind me. “We do better together,” he said, already falling into step beside me. Noah adjusted his glasses and pulled out a notebook. “I’ve calculated ideal handoff points (交接棒点) — 28 meters from the zone start.” Then Jay bounded over in neon sneakers. “If you’ re racing, I’m in!” Our first practice revealed gaps. Jay struggled with the exchange: he’d glance back too early, breaking rhythm, and the baton (接力棒) slipped twice. “Focus on your own run,” I reminded him. “Feel my steps — don’t look.” We drilled for hours: Inhale (breath in) for three times, exhale for two; drive arms forward, not sideways; keep eyes ahead even when the baton nears. Jay stayed late, repeating hand offs until his palms hurt. Still, after a week, he was slow on the curve, breathless, shoulders tense. One evening, he stopped mid lap. “I’m holding you back,” he said quietly. “My split’s still 0.6 seconds slower than required. You could qualify with someone faster.” His voice dropped. “I don’t want to cost us everything.” Amir put a hand on his shoulder. “Relays aren’t about perfect times — they’re about trust in motion.” Noah added, “Your handoff consistency improved by 70%.” I remembered how Jay had practiced breathing drills alone at dawn, how he’d whispered, “Just one more try,” even when exhausted. “We run as four,” I said. “Not three.” He nodded slowly. Race day arrived. Noah was at the starting point, calm. I stood at the second place, fully prepared. Jay waited down the track, eyes fixed ahead — no glance back, just like we’d trained. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I dashed toward Jay, he showed signs of nervousness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moment the race ended, we were locked in a group hug. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As I dashed toward Jay, he showed signs of nervousness. His shoulders were hunched, and his hand trembled slightly as he prepared for the exchange. For a split second, I saw the doubt that had plagued him during practice. I screamed, “Trust the training!” channeling all my energy into that shout. Hearing my voice, he seemed to snap out of his trance, locking his eyes forward and extending his hand with determination. I slammed the baton into his palm — a perfect, solid connection. He exploded out of the zone, running the race of his life, and successfully passed the baton to our final runner, Amir, who sprinted toward the finish line with everything he had. The moment the race ended, we were locked in a group hug. We hadn’t broken any world records, but we had qualified, and the roar from the stands was deafening. Tears of relief streamed down Jay’s face as we embraced, the weight of his fear finally lifted. In that breathless moment, my father’s words echoed in my mind: “The real race isn’t about crossing the finish line. It’s about never giving up on yourself.” I realized then that the true victory wasn’t the time on the clock, but the trust we built in the dark hours of practice. We learned that the baton was more than a piece of metal; it was a symbol of our unbreakable bond and the courage to keep going together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了“我”受父亲跑步理念的影响，在学校春季 4×100 米接力赛选拔时，与阿米尔、诺亚和杰伊组成小组参加训练。训练过程中，杰伊在交接棒环节存在问题，一度想要退出，但在大家鼓励下坚持了下来。比赛当天，“我们”做好了准备。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写杰伊表现出紧张，在“我”的提醒，杰伊顺利接过接力棒，全力奔跑，成功将接力棒交给阿米尔。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写比赛结束，“我们”拥抱在一起，虽未破纪录但成功晋级以及感悟 2.续写线索：杰伊紧张——“我”提醒——杰伊恢复状态——完成交接——比赛结束——拥抱庆祝——成功晋级——“我”领悟意义——接力棒象征意义。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize /be aware of ②拥抱：embrace /hug 情绪类 ①怀疑：doubt /suspect ②宽慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Hearing my voice, he seemed to snap out of his trance, locking his eyes forward and extending his hand with determination.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型 2】I realized then that the true victory wasn’t the time on the clock, but the trust we built in the dark hours of practice.（运用了 that 引导的宾语从句，以及省略 that 的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026 届高考模拟冲刺卷 (二) 英语 全卷共 8 页，满分 150分，考试时间 120 分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共 5 小题；每小题 1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B David Ogilvy was a British advertising pioneer, creative genius, and the founder of the famous company Ogilvy & Mather. Often called the “father of modern advertising”, Ogilvy completely changed the industry with his unique marketing approach based on the combination of art and science. Ogilvy was a big advocate of market research. He believed that understanding the customer was the key factor in any successful advertising campaign. So, marketers should treat consumers with respect and try to understand their psychology. Ogilvy studied consumer behavior carefully, allowing him to know what influenced purchasing decisions. Ogilvy believed that long copy — ads with more detailed information — often performed better than short ones. He argued that if consumers were interested in the product, they would read the entire ad. His famous Rolls-Royce campaign is a typical example: the ad featured a long copy description of the car’s quality, combined with a headline that read, ‘At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock.’ This approach contradicted the then-popular belief that people couldn’t focus on long and wouldn’t read long advertisements. Ogilvy’s success with long-copy ads proved that detailed information could also absorb consumers effectively. Ogilvy believed that every piece of advertising should strengthen a brand’s personality and reputation. He advised brands to focus on creating a unique, recognizable identity that distinguished them from competitors. For instance, his work for Dove introduced the idea of Dove being more than just soap, it became a symbol of beauty. Ogilvy believed that the most successful advertisements were built around a central, powerful idea that could excite the imagination of consumers. He famously said, ‘If it doesn’t sell, it isn’t creative,’ This means that creativity should not just be about aesthetics (美学); it should have a purpose — to boost sales and brand loyalty. Ogilvy stressed that advertising should get across how a product benefits consumers, rather than just listing its features. He argued that consumers cared more about what a product would do for them than its technical advantages. His famous ad for Rolls-Royce, for example, didn’t just list features of the car; it highlighted the experience and power that came with owning a Rolls-Royce. The benefit was clear: wealth and excellence. 4. What do we know about David Ogilvy? A. He proved to be a British art genius. B. He created the advertising industry. C. He initiated the modern advertising. D. He advocated integrating art into ads. 5. What is the basis for David’s marketing ideas? A. Consumers’ psychology. B. Products’ perfect quality. C. Consumers’ reading ability. D. Products’ design and image. 6. Which slogan of a product might David Ogilvy agree with? A. Rolls-Royce brings you speed and thrill. B. Rolls-Royce represents your perfection. C. Dove is full of pleasant smell and feeling. D. Dove is a soap making the washing easy. 7. What is the writing purpose of this text? A. To show David’s advertising principles. B. To persuade readers to learn from David. C. To emphasize David’s artistic potentials. D. To explain David’s great advertisements. C Psychologically, the halo effect refers to the tendency for people to let one positive trait or overall impression of a person influence their perceptions of that person’s other characteristics. First described by psychologist Edward Thorndike in the early twentieth century, the halo effect demonstrates how initial judgments, such as physical attractiveness or confidence, can affect how we evaluate unrelated qualities like intelligence, trustworthiness, or competence. This cognitive bias (认知偏差) is not limited to personal interactions; it also shapes how we perceive celebrities, politicians, teachers, and even products or brands. The mechanism behind the halo effect is rooted in human cognition, as individuals often rely on mental shortcuts, or heuristics (启发式), to make quick decisions about people and situations. When we notice something positive about a person—such as a friendly smile or a neat appearance—we are more likely to assume that they possess additional desirable traits, sometimes without sufficient evidence. This process can lead to errors in judgment, as our overall impression may overshadow objective evaluation of specific skills or behaviors. The halo effect has significant implications in various areas of life, including education, the workplace, and the judicial system (司法系统). For example, teachers may unconsciously grade students more favorably if they appear enthusiastic or well-behaved, regardless of their actual academic performance. In hiring or promotion decisions, employers might overlook a candidate’s weaknesses if their first impression is particularly strong. Even in courtrooms, research has shown that physically attractive defendants are sometimes treated more kindly than others accused of similar offenses. Understanding the halo effect is important because it highlights the need for critical thinking and objective assessment in our daily lives. By being aware of this bias, individuals can make more balanced and fair decisions, whether judging others’ abilities, evaluating products, or interpreting media representations. In conclusion, the halo effect serves as a reminder that human perceptions are not always reliable, and that striving for objectivity can help minimize the influence of first impressions on our judgments. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept. C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics. 9. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The influence of first impressions. B. The advantage of human cognition. C. The underlying logic of the effect. D. The evaluating role of evidence. 10. What does the author think of the halo effect in our daily lives? A. Short-sighted. B. Effective. C. Reliable. D. One-sided. 11. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. The halo effect: a cognitive shortcut that simplifies judgments B. The halo effect: why attractive people enjoy unfair advantages C. The halo effect: a psychological bias needing urgent corrections D. The halo effect: how first impressions dominate our perceptions D Are you tired of running out of room on your mousepad (鼠标垫) every day? If so, you might like the Padrone Primera mouse. This product has been in development for the past 10 years. Although we have seen various other attempts at finger worn computer mice, none of them have worked quite like this one. The device is worn on the index finger (食指) of the user’s dominant hand. Among other electronics, it includes a motion sensor, a forward-facing camera, a microprocessor, a Bluetooth component and a rechargeable battery. Making use of input from the motion sensor and the camera, the microprocessor is able to identify specific finger or hand movements, plus it’s able to see the end of the finger along with the surface directly below it. Padrone is quick to point out that all the processing takes place within the mouse, so users don’t need to be concerned about images being sent to the Internet. The Primera is powered up by double-tapping (双击) the side of the index finger with the thumb. From there, sliding the fingertip across the surface of the desk moves the onscreen pointer accordingly. A desk tap with the index finger serves as a left click, while tapping the middle finger produces a right click. Scrolling is managed by sliding the index and middle fingers together. Pressing the thumb against the side of the index finger allows users to drag and drop items.

I would watch him tie his shoes in the quiet dark. He never showed off about medals or fast times. He just tugged his laces, looked at me, and said, ‘The real race isn’t about crossing the finish line. It’s about never giving up on yourself.” By high school, running was the one thing I didn’t have to explain. When our school announced the spring 4×100m relay tryouts, I signed up without hesitation. To my surprise, Amir was right behind me. “We do better together,” he said, already falling into step beside me. Noah adjusted his glasses and pulled out a notebook. “I’ve calculated ideal handoff points (交接棒点) — 28 meters from the zone start.” Then Jay bounded over in neon sneakers. “If you’ re racing, I’m in!” Our first practice revealed gaps. Jay struggled with the exchange: he’d glance back too early, breaking rhythm, and the baton (接力棒) slipped twice. “Focus on your own run,” I reminded him. “Feel my steps — don’t look.” We drilled for hours: Inhale (breath in) for three times, exhale for two; drive arms forward, not sideways; keep eyes ahead even when the baton nears. Jay stayed late, repeating hand offs until his palms hurt. Still, after a week, he was slow on the curve, breathless, shoulders tense. One evening, he stopped mid lap. “I’m holding you back,” he said quietly. “My split’s still 0.6 seconds slower than required. You could qualify with someone faster.” His voice dropped. “I don’t want to cost us everything.” Amir put a hand on his shoulder. “Relays aren’t about perfect times — they’re about trust in motion.” Noah added, “Your handoff consistency improved by 70%.” I remembered how Jay had practiced breathing drills alone at dawn, how he’d whispered, “Just one more try,” even when exhausted. “We run as four,” I said. “Not three.” He nodded slowly. Race day arrived. Noah was at the starting point, calm. I stood at the second place, fully prepared. Jay waited down the track, eyes fixed ahead — no glance back, just like we’d trained. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I dashed toward Jay, he showed signs of nervousness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moment the race ended, we were locked in a group hug. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
