问题     Imagine walking through someone’s apartment. The rooms are almost empty, and the only pieces of furniture are a simple table and a folded sofa. There are no decorative objects lying around—just the essentials. You open the closet to find you can count the number of clothing items inside on one hand. The space seems more like a prison cell than a home, and you may think the resident cannot afford to buy more things to fill the apartment with.
    It turns out that the apartment’s owner is a minimalist (简约主义者) who chooses to limit his number of belongings. Minimalism goes against consumer society by dramatically reducing possessions. Minimalists follow this philosophy to varying degrees, but they generally claim that cutting back on excess stuff leads to a more fulfilling life.
    With fewer possessions, they do not have to spend as much time cleaning, thinking about what they are missing, or trying to keep up with the latest trends. Minimalists say this frees up their time for things that they find meaningful, such as exercising, traveling, and being with loved ones.
    Extreme minimalism is not for everyone, but a mild form of it has grown in popularity recently, thanks to Marie Kondo’s best-selling book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Kondo has become distinguished for her tidying skills, which she developed naturally. One of her main beliefs is that one should only own things that one truly loves.
    It can be unpleasant to part with belongings, but Kondo’s methods have helped millions to remove useless things. Her technique for making space is to go through things by category, starting with clothing, then books, papers, tiny objects, and finally, memorable items. She instructs her followers to touch each object they own and keep only those that spark joy, promising that this will lead to domestic happiness.
    Kondo stresses that it is not about throwing things away, but abouf’finding the things you want to remain with you" and striking a balance between personal joy and possessions. Even if you are not ready to become a minimalist, you may want to consider reducing the number of things you own, for it seems that letting go of things can truly make room for happiness.
Paragraph I describes a person who probably________.
选项 A、loves decorative objects
B、cannot afford the essentials
C、chooses to live a simple life
D、has a passion for counting his clothes
答案C
解析 分析本题选项：
A loves decorative objects一个热爱装饰物件的人。
B cannot afford the essentials一个支付不起生活必需品的人。
C chooses to live a simple life一个选择过朴素生活的人。
D has a passion for counting his clothes一个有着数衣服热情的人。
A选项与原文对比There are no decorative objects lying around—just the essentials. 句意“家里没有任何装饰性物件，仅仅就是生活必需品。”A错误，所以排除A。
B与A定位句一样，出现“essentials”生活必需品，但没有提到支付不起，排除B。
D选项与原文对比You open the closet to find you can count the number of clothing items inside on one hand. “你打开橱柜发现里面的衣服一只手就能数过来。”说明衣服数量少，并不是“有数衣服的热情”，并且这种说法属于论据性措辞，这不是正确答案的语言措辞。所以排除D。通过这样的排除，只剩下C，因此本题选C。
