[2023苏北四市一调]By my mid-20s， I’d finished my Master’s in Psychlgy， and I was wrking in Dublin as a health researcher.It was mstly data and statistics wrk which required staring at a screen.

I wanted t get back t feeling passinate abut smething s I started thinking abut the things I used t lve. As a child， I’d always been invlved in the utdrs， and I used t lve hiking but all that had stpped after secndary schl.I decided t vlunteer with a lcal yuth grup and within a mnth， I went camping with them. I abslutely lved it. It was like switching n a lightbulb. This was what I’d been missing.
I started taking curses in muntain skills and wilderness first aid， and in August I was wrking my usual jb in the week， and I was a climbing club leader at weekends. I lved cnnecting with nature， and cnnecting with ther peple.
Thrugh all this， I learnt abut the whle field f nature-based therapies（疗法）. It was the perfect fit t cmbine my psychlgy backgrund with my passin fr the utdrs. I began taking curses in wild therapy， frest bathing and ecpsychlgy.I left my gvernment jb and in July 2020 I launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland， which is bming nw.

In Dublin， the frnt dr felt like a barrier — I had t have my keys， my phne， and my jacket befre I culd even g ut and find a green space. My life nw is leading nature cnnectin hikes and frest bathing walks. My salary has halved fr the mment but I’ve adjusted. I’ve never lked back.

[2024贵州贵阳摸底]The term "nimania"， which is used t describe peple with bsessive （强迫性的）， prblematic shpping and spending behavirs. Als knwn as cmpulsive buying disrder （CBD） and impulsive-cmpulsive buying disrder （ICBD）， nimania can leave a negative impact n yur financial health and mental wellbeing if left untreated.
At this pint yu might be wndering： "What’s the difference between an nimaniac and smene wh likes t shp perhaps a bit t much？" We tend t believe that the tw are rather similar. Clinically （临床地）， hwever， they are quite easy t separate.
Althugh peple wh like shpping will return an item if they d nt like it and start budgeting if they run lw n mney， peple suffering frm nimania are n lnger able t make reasnable， let alne financially respnsible， decisins. They smetimes emtinally dissciate themselves frm what they are ding， making their purchases while they are nt really sure what t buy. Spending relieves feelings f anxiety and depressin， but nly temprarily. In a shrt time， they might becme mdy， annyed， and depressed， and their cnfidence declines sharply.
T a certain extent， spending makes everyne feel gd. In 2007， a grup f researchers frm MIT， Stanfrd University and CMU lked at the brains f American cnsumers via MRI technlgy and fund that when they purchased desirable bjects， their nucleus accumbens— the brain’s pleasure center — wuld light up， indicating psitive stimulatin. This stimulatin can take n different frms. Fr instance， sme peple get particularly excited when they believe they have gtten a gd deal. This， researchers say， is the result f the prefrntal crtex — the decisin-making part f ur brain — interacting with the insula， the part f ur brain that prcesses pain.
Accrding t psychtherapist Jyce Marter， cmpulsive buyers in the U.S. make an average f 156 impulsive purchases per year. Each purchase sets them back arund $81.75， making fr a grand ttal f $5，400 per year and a thrugh shcking $324，000 per lifetime. That mney culd have been invested in a hme， an educatin， r ther prducts that yu actually need in rder t survive and thrive in the wrld. Ultimately， thugh， treating nimania is abut much mre than just prtecting yur finances frm yur wn impulses — it’s als abut maintaining yur persnal mental health and imprving yur relatinships with thers.
购物癖和喜爱购物不同，它是一种需要治疗的心理疾病。在某种程度上，消费会让人快乐，但购物癖不仅浪费金钱，还危害人们的心理健康和人际关系。
【词语积累】 prblematic adj.成问题的，造成困难的，疑难的 cmpulsive adj.禁不住的；难控制的 tend t倾向于；往往会 purchase n.购买；采购；vt.购买；采购
temprarily adv.暂时 decline v.下降；减少；衰退 indicate v.指示；表明；显示；暗示 interact vi.互动；相互作用；交流 thrive vi.繁荣；蓬勃发展 maintain v.保持；维持；维修
【长难句解读】 Althugh peple （wh like shpping） will return an item （if they d nt
让步状语从句，其中包含一个wh引导的定语从句和两个if引导的条件状语从句
like it） and start budgeting（if they run lw n mney）， peple suffering frm nimania
现在分词短语作定语
are n lnger able t make reasnable， let alne financially respnsible， decisins.
译文：虽然喜欢购物的人如果不喜欢商品就会退货，如果资金短缺就会开始谨慎花钱，但患有购物癖的人不再能够做出合理的决定，更不用说对财务负责的决定了。
1.What d we knw abut nimania？
A. It is a nrmal behavir.
B. It influences peple’s health.
C. It means peple wh like shpping.
D. It describes peple’s difference.

2.What des the underlined phrase "run lw n" prbably mean？
A. Run ut f.B. G shrt f.
C. Lk dwn n.D. Becme rich in.
解析 B 词义猜测题。由画线短语前的"peple wh like shpping will return an item if they d nt like it"可知，喜欢购物的人如果不喜欢商品就会退货。return an item if they d nt like it与start budgeting if they run lw n mney是并列关系，同为描述喜欢购物的人的行为。start budgeting意为"开始谨慎花钱"。由此可推测，此处表示如果他们资金短缺，他们就会开始谨慎花钱，故画线短语与B项的意思最为接近。
3.What des the furth paragraph mainly talk abut？
A. Why many researchers take part in the study.
B. Hw everyne makes a wise decisin.
C. Hw desirable bjects are well welcme.
D. Why shpping makes cmmn peple happy.

4.What is the benefit f treating nimania？

解析 C 细节理解题。由最后一段中的"it’s als abut maintaining yur persnal mental health and imprving yur relatinships with thers"可知，治疗购物癖还可以维持你的个人心理健康，改善你的人际关系，故选C项"它使我们的头脑保持健康"。
二、七选五
We all want t save mney， and with the cst f living n the rise， it’s becme mre imprtant than ever t watch what we spend. One f the biggest increases in ur spending at the mment is n energy. 1 That’s why many f us are lking at ways t save energy.

本文是说明文。随着生活成本的上升，人们都想减少日常开销，目前我们的支出中增长最大的方面之一是能源，文章给出了一些在家中节约能源从而减少开支的方法。
1.D 空前提到目前，我们的支出中增长最大的方面之一是能源，空后提到这就是为什么很多人一直在思考节能的方法，故空处内容应涉及能源方面的花费，D项"我们房屋里用的石油、天然气和电要花很多钱"承接上文，且解释了下文思考节约能源方法的原因。
2.F 下文提到为了实现这一目标，到2025年，一些国家的新住宅将被禁止安装新的燃气和燃油锅炉，用热泵代替以帮助节约能源。分析本段结构和大意可以看出，空后的this指代的应是空处出现的内容，且与节能做法有关，F项"让我们的家更节能是公认的省钱的方法"符合语境。选项中的"Making ur hme mre energy-efficient"是this指代的内容。
3.A 空后提到了用卷起的毛巾、双层玻璃窗和厚重的窗帘等物品来阻止热量散出，A项"温暖的空气可以很容易地从房间散出"提出了问题，与后面的解决办法相呼应。
4.G 本段主要讲了可以在家里做很多其他的小事情来节约能源，如烹饪时盖上锅盖，烧开水时不要将容器装得太满，不要让电器处于待机状态，G项"这些小方法结合起来可以减少约10％的能源费用"是上文做法的结果。
5.C 空前提到因此我们被鼓励更加有效地利用燃料，空后是我们需要这样做来减少碳足迹，这样能源使用就不会以破坏地球为代价。由此可知，空处应起到过渡作用，将节能从减少日常开支引到环境保护，故选C项"但我们的主要目标并不仅仅是省钱"。
