1、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
"I am not crazy, "says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. "I am ahead of my time. "If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods, But Farber is certain he'll have the last laugh. He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians(兽医)now practicing "holistic" medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic(按摩疗法)and herbal medicine
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets
Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, "moves more easily and rides more comfortably" after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. "Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well, "he says. "I will do anything to help an animal. That's my job. "

B、He was inspired by another veterinarian. C、He benefited from it as a patient. D、He wanted to save money for pet owners.(3)、 What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A、Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B、The complexity of veterinarians' work. C、Examples of rare animal diseases. D、The effectiveness of holistic medicine.(4)、 Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?A、To prove Farber's point B、To emphasize its importance. C、To praise veterinarians. D、To advocate animal protection. -

Life can sometimes seem like an endless series of exhibitions. For those of us involved in the art world, there are times when we're constantly visiting gallery after gallery, taking in as much as possible and getting to know the works of artists from far and wide. But there are some artists whose works consistently stand out. Some artists' works stay in the thought and heart of an audience long after the show is over. I've noticed over the years that these are often the artists who have understood fully the skill of telling the story behind their art. These artists aren't just selling paintings—they're selling an experience.
Roxanna Kibsey is one of these artists. Her paintings are often exact description of frozen tundra(冻原) or autumn trees—so bright that they could nearly burn a hole in the canvas. When I met her at an exhibition, she couldn't wait to tell me about the place in her paintings. "Where I grew up, we had nine months of winter every year. It's really quite a tough place," she said. She relived a part of her childhood when we chatted in front of her paintings. The image brought to my mind memories of driving through the snow-covered countryside during my own first winter in Canada. I could almost hear the crunching ice under my feet as she described to me the countryside she grew up in.
Businessmen may have their elevator pitch, but artists, too, need their 30-second story which rolls freely off the tongue. That's why it's so important that for each piece you might be exhibiting, you can conjure up(想起) a story behind it, and tell that story to your audience in a way that helps them connect with your work, and makes them want to buy a piece.
(1)、What kind of artists does the author like?A、Those who have great skills. B、Those who have held many exhibitions. C、Those who paint scenes of their own hometowns. D、Those who tell their experience through their paintings.(2)、What did the author feel after appreciating Roxanna Kibsey's paintings?A、The author had a beautiful imagination. B、The author thought of a serious question. C、The author fell into his own memory. D、The author thought of his own hometown.(3)、What can we learn from paragraph 2?A、Kibsey's works reflect her own life. B、Kibsey had an unhappy childhood. C、Kibsey doesn't like her hometown. D、Kibsey's hometown is beautiful in winter.(4)、What does the underlined phrase "elevator pitch" in paragraph 3 refer to?A、A sales introduction. B、A wise choice. C、A small mistake. D、A modern tool. -

A French artist is behind the great work. (name) Bus Pool, the unique pool was made from a retired city bus the artist found in a junkyard.
