You could tick the articles you want to see, and mark as read those
you don't want to see.

You could also mark as dormant the articles you want to see.  Then `Y
d' will show the dormant articles.

You can frob gnus-select-article-hook and/or gnus-mark-article-hook
to put marks other than `read' onto articles that you read.
