4、 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。
As the holidays rolled around this year,I (Susie)told my husband (James)not to buy me anything. I already
have too much stuff. I have no room for yet another item that will take up cherished space in our city home.
However,I mentioned there is one exception:I will accept anything that can be consumed,like wine,chocolate,or flowers,something that doesn't leave a footprint and that I don't have to worry about breaking,losing,or maintaining.
Our son cut in to wisely suggest me adding"experiences"to my list since they are more meaningful than things and are something that our family all enjoyed. I couldn't agree more and was happy he brought this up. The memories of experiences live on in our hearts and uplift us,which is in striking contrast to the dust that collects on the numerous items we acquire over the years that often end up stressing us out.
I've always told James that additional things clutter(堆砌)my mind,like additional words clutter his. As a philosopher who is very deliberate and precise with his words, he got that instantly. So,we are on a personal mission to clean out our home.
Science seems to support this simplification method as well. In a 2021 experimental literature review of 23 studies that involved more than 10,000 participants,researchers found a positive relationship between "voluntary simplicity"(often used interchangeably with minimalism)and well-being. Defined as "a lifestyle limiting possessions and clutter to live deliberately according to one's purpose,"the term was first coined by social philosopher Richard Gregg,who wrote a popular book titled The Value of Voluntary Simplicity in 1936. Since that time,others have expanded on the idea and that of minimalism with which it overlaps. Both terms share the core values of reducing consumption and redirecting one's attention from physical accumulation and goods to personal growth and human good.
Practicing voluntary simplicity is associated with a number of psychological benefits,including enhanced mood,increased mindfulness,lower stress and anxiety,and better relationships,as reported in the recent Journal of Positive Psychology literature review study.
(1)、According to Susie,her son's suggestion was ____A、a wise comment B、a valuable reference C、an annoying interruption D、an unforgettable memory(2)、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?A、James broke his words deliberately. B、James bought the desired gift instantly. C、James decided to clean their house immediately. D、James realized the significance of minimalism directly.(3)、What is The Value of Voluntary Simplicity probably intended to do?A、Changing public viewpoints. B、Raising a growing public concern. C、Improving people's physical health. D、Restricting consumption of daily essentials.(4)、What aspect will be probably talked about next?A、Advantages of a collected mind. B、Mental influences of minimalism. C、Procedures of the psychology study. D、Ways to improve people's positive attitude. -

While dog owners have been able to vaccinate(接种疫苗)their pets against Lyme disease since the 1990s,the first human Lyme vaccine,LYMErix,was taken off the market in 2002,after only four years. At the time,sales were low,partly because the market was small—about 20,000 cases a year in the United States-and partly because of unproven claims that the vaccine caused joint pains. Since then,cases have skyrocketed in America. Climate changes play a factor:ticks(蜱虫)multiply in warm,humid environments,and their habitat is expanding. They live in wooded areas,on the edges of forests,and in tall grasses. Fortunately,new vaccines to prevent infection are underway.
That's great news for people like Ryann Melntire,who began experiencing severe joint pain,unstable bloodsugar levels,brain fog and other symptoms while studying abroad in Australia in 2016. It got so bad that she flew home to Massachusetts early and began a frustrating quest for a diagnosis. More than one doctor attributed her symptoms to stress. After a friend asked whether she'd been tested for Lyme disease,Mclntire requested a blood test,which confirmed she had the antibodies in her system. That result,as well as her symptoms,led her doctor to conclude that McIntire had been living with Lyme for more than a decade.
Lyme disease,which was first identified in Lyme,Connecticut,in the 1970s,comes from black-legged ticks. Symptoms include fever,joint pain,headache and chills,and they can appear anywhere from three to 30 days after a bite. That makes diagnosis a challenge,as does the fact that the symptoms are common for other illnesses,says Janet Sperling,the president of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation. The one definitive symptom of Lyme disease,a bull's-eye shaped rash(疹) . doesn't always show up.
If left undiagnosed,Lyme disease can affect the central nervous system,resulting in a hard-to-treat condition. Its symptoms include brain fog,pain and muscle weakness. "Until a vaccine is widely available,your best defense against Lyme disease is to avoid getting bitten by a black-legged tick",says Sperling.
(1)、What might contribute to the low sales of human Lyme vaccine?A、Expanding habitats. B、Rare extreme weather. C、Insufficient disease cases. D、Solid evidence of side effects.(2)、What can we learn from Ryann Mclntire's experience?A、Her friend was once cured of Lyme disease. B、Homesickness contributed to her mental disease. C、She experienced joint pain after being vaccinated. D、A medical examination facilitated more accurate diagnosis.(3)、Which of the following can best describe the symptoms of Lyme disease?A、Acute. B、Changeable. C、Invisible. D、Untypical.(4)、What's the best title for this text?A、Black-Legged Tick:The Carrier of Lyme Disease B、Ryann Mclntire:A Lucky Lyme Disease Survivor C、Lyme Disease:A Rising Threat with New Vaccines in Sight D、Bull's-Eye Shaped Rash:A Challenge for Accurate Diagnosis -

Zach Hackett,33,was 12,000 feet up a Colorado mountain last May when he heard a faint sound. As he walked through a clearing,he found the source:a black-and-white Shetland sheepdog,shaking behind fallen pine trees. "Hey,buddy,"he called out. "You want a cookie?Can you come with me?"The dog was too weak to move.
Five weeks earlier,Mike Krugman,74,had let his dog Riley out for a predinner walk on his nearby 36-acre property. When Krugman couldn't find his dog,he became concerned. He thought,"Maybe Riley has gone looking for Pam. "His wife,Pam Krugman,had died of a heart condition months earlier. The next morning,Krugman
looked for Riley's tracks in the snow and asked a local animal shelter to help search. A volunteer posted "missing" posters and searched the area for Riley. But in vain. Krugman even left out his wife's housecoat,thinking her smell might bring Riley back.
Wrapping Riley in a wind breaker and cradling him like a baby,Hackett carefully picked his way down for two hours before reaching the Blue River around dusk. He carried Riley through the knee-deep water. The current was strong,but he felt he had to cross the river instead of walking around it,or it would take too long,and Riley needed to be warmed up. When he reached his apartment,he ran a warm bath for Riley and turned on a heater.
Hackett cared for Riley through the night. then drove him to a nearby shelter in the morning.
People at the shelter were shocked when they checked the records and learned Riley had been gone for five weeks and one day. In that moment,Hackett realized why Riley was so weak when he found him—Riley weighed 24 pounds when he went missing,and had lost half of his body weight.
The moment Krugman got the call from the shelter,saying Riley was found,he cried. Krugman picked up Riley and drove him straight to a vet and was just so thankful for what he did and for the efforts of all the people who searched for Riley.

B、He feared to lose the dog again. C、He was shaking with excitement. D、He wept for joy and felt grateful. -
