In these days f electrnic everything, yu’d think that mst businesses wuldn’t be using paper cheques （支票） any mre. In fact, fr mst businesses, paper cheques are still a thing. As many as ne in three business deals are paid this way and 81% f firms in the US are still using paper cheques t settle sme f their bills.
Stp the eye-rlling because yeah, we knw electrnic payments are quicker t make, authrize and cmplete, and they’re easier t track and reprt. They save paper and are gd fr the envirnment. They’re mre secure, efficient and cst less. They can be made and apprved frm anywhere. A grwing number f businesses nt nly prefer electrnic payments, but are requiring custmers t d this. Even Micrsft recently annunced that it wuld n lnger accept paper cheques frm its partners.
But still ... I’m ging t miss the paper cheque. I’ve always enjyed the circumstance f the biweekly cheque run and the grandest part is the final apprval evidenced by the ultimate prf f authrity： the signature. Sme f my clients take delight in the pprtunity t examine and sign every cheque because there’s n better example f pwer than this. Paper cheques are nt nly a written frm f cntracts favred by firms thrughut histry but als a frm f marketing where cmpanies can prudly display their lgs. They are clear evidence f stability and reliability.
Unfrtunately, the writing is n the wall fr the paper cheque. And that makes me sad. Accrding t the Small Business Administratin, the majrity f small business wners are ver the age f 50. We grew up with Swansn TV Dinners, hckey withut helmets （头盔） and appinted smking sectins in airplanes. We’ll retire and yunger generatins will bury us alng with ur chequebks.

Fr decades, "simpler is better" has been accepted as a universal truth in marketing. Nick Light, assistant prfessr f marketing at the UO Lundquist Cllege f Business, has tested that assumptin. He fund that mst cnsumers prefer fferings that appear t be easy t use and understand. Hwever, pushing simplicity can have a hidden, cstly dwnside.
“Simplicity is nt a silver bullet,” Light said. This methd might wrk fr established cmpanies with track recrds t back up their claims. But it can be risky fr a start-up with n histry r a cmpany in a cmplicated market categry where failures r breakdwns are mre cmmn.
Light’s earlier experience stimulated his interest in the study. He was a marketing manager at a direct-t-cnsumer mattress（床垫） cmpany. With the catchwrd "ne perfect mattress", the cmpany ffered nly ne mattress mdel shipped directly t the cnsumer’s dr, dramatically simplifying the mattress-buying prcess. "Sme custmers calling with even minr prblems such as a slight disclratin in the material, wuld get really angry," Light said. "They wuld say things like, "I dn’t understand what’s s difficult abut this,’ even when prducing and shipping mattresses are quite cmplex. These custmers were getting verly upset because the prduct and prcess had been labeled as simple."
The study als shwed that cnsumers judged the cmplexity f brands r prducts based n their mental cnnectins. Fr example, when study participants viewed advertisements fr tw different cmpanies, they frmed mental pictures f the simplicity r cmplexity f the brand depending n hw plain r busy the art was and the details prvided in each ad.
Light als lked int prduct quality and custmer pinins and fund that cnsumers are less likely t recmmend simpler brands after failures cmpared t mre cmplex brands. Therefre, the lessn fr marketers is t be mre careful abut building branding and advertising strategies arund simplicity, because they culd easily backfire if the prduct r service fails t deliver.
12． What des the underlined wrds "a silver bullet" in paragraph 2 mean?
A.A risky investment.
B.A business strategy.
C.A quick-fix methd.
D.A cure-all slutin.
13． What did the use f simplicity in the mattress business lead t?
A.Rising custmer dissatisfactin.
B.Reduced expenses fr prducers.
C.Lnger transprt time fr gds.
D.Mre cmments frm custmers.
14． What mainly influence cnsumers’ views n a brand accrding t the study?
A.The cmpany’s histrical backgrund.
B.The impressins shaped by ad design.
C.The advertising reviews n its website.
D.The richness f clr in its packaging.

12．答案： D
解析： 根据后文"This methd might wrk fr established cmpanies with track recrds t back up their claims. But it can be risky fr a start-up with n histry r a cmpany in a cmplicated market categry..."可知,"Simplicity is nt a silver bullet"意思是简单并非是一种万能的解决办法。"a silver bullet"常用来表示能解决所有问题的妙招、万灵药,也就是"a cure-all slutin",所以选择D选项。A选项"一种有风险的投资"、B选项"一种商业策略"、C选项"一种快速解决方法"都不符合此处表达的意思。
13．答案： A
解析： 从文中"Sme custmers calling with even minr prblems such as a slight disclratin in the material, wuld get really custmers were getting verly upset because the prduct and prcess had been labeled as simple."可以看出,在床垫业务中使用简单化策略后,哪怕是很小的问题,顾客都会非常生气、不满,导致顾客的不满意程度上升了,所以选择A选项。B选项"生产者费用的减少"文中未提及；C选项"货物运输时间变长"也没有相关表述；D选项"更多来自顾客的评论"不是重点体现的内容,重点是顾客的不满情绪。
14．答案： B
解析： 根据"The study als shwed that cnsumers judged the cmplexity f brands r prducts based n their mental cnnectins. Fr example, when study participants viewed advertisements fr tw different cmpanies, they frmed mental pictures f the simplicity r cmplexity f the brand depending n hw plain r busy the art was and the details prvided in each ad."可知,消费者对品牌复杂性的判断主要基于他们看到广告时形成的心理印象,也就是广告设计所塑造的印象影响着他们对品牌的看法,所以选择B选项。A选项"公司的历史背景"不是主要影响因素；C选项"其网站上的广告评论"文中未体现；D选项"其包装中色彩的丰富程度"也并非文中所强调的影响消费者看法的主要方面。
15．答案： B
解析： 文章最后提到"Therefre, the lessn fr marketers is t be mre careful abut building branding and advertising strategies arund simplicity, because they culd easily backfire if the prduct r service fails t deliver.",意思是给营销人员的教训就是在围绕简单性构建品牌和广告策略时要更加谨慎,因为如果产品或服务没达到预期,这种策略很容易适得其反,所以建议营销人员要谨慎对待以简单为主题的相关举措,选择B选项。A选项"宣传售后客户服务"文中未提及这方面建议；C选项"强调产品质量而非简单性"不是主要给出的建议内容；D选项"通过社交媒体提升品牌知名度"也不符合文章最后给出的对营销人员的建议内容。
16．答案： B； A； D； G； F

⑤根据空前"Each features a hexagn（六边形）with the Paris 2024 lgnnsideand Nike theGreek gddess f victry, infrnt f the Eiffel Twer n the ther.（每枚奖牌都是六边形的,一边印有巴黎2024的标志,另一边印有希腊胜利女神耐克站在埃菲尔铁塔前的形象。）"可知,空前提到了伦敦奥运会的奖牌,故此空F项"今年的独特之处在于,奖牌使用的金属来自埃菲尔铁塔"符合,进一步介绍巴黎2024年奥运会奖牌的特点,故选F项。
