Question

【题目】If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it. 【1】

◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 【2】 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.

◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 【3】 You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.

◆ 【4】 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.

◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 【5】 In the end, you will expand your ideas.

试题分析: 本文是一篇议论文，讲的是记日记的四大好处，包括不会让你丢失自己的想法，帮你复习所有你学到的东西，帮你看到自己进步和扩大你的想法。

【1】E考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。这句话属于第一段最后一句话，下文讲了4点关于写日记的益处，E选项正是下文四点内容的总的概括，故选E。

【2】A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前面一个问句“你曾经有过一个想法，但是后来就消失了，就是因为你没有写下来？”和后面作者讲的自己的经历，A选项“I often experienced that myself.”我经常身亲经历这些，符合语境。故选A。

【3】G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前一句话讲的是通过回顾日记，你能够快速的知道自己学到的什么和你得到的想法，后一句话讲的是你可以通过这些想法来鞭策自己。G选项“Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes”那么你可以做一些必要的事情来避免重复犯错，符合语境。故选G。
