Question

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
　When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen….
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.

【小題1】D
【小題2】B
【小題3】B
【小題4】A

解析試題分析：文章大意：本篇文章記錄了一對經(jīng)歷相像的母女，她們都經(jīng)歷了女兒、母親的階段，又都是一個成功的作家。相同的天分，相同的感覺，成就了一對母女作家二重奏。
【小題1】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從短文的第一段“I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.” 可以得知答案：我記日記并不是真的需要表達(dá)感情，……只是永遠(yuǎn)把經(jīng)歷記在紙上。故D正確。
【小題2】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從短文的第三段“At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.” 可以得知答案：當(dāng)時，我明白了，我寫的任何東西都配不上和代表我所經(jīng)歷的短暫的幾秒鐘山谷的神奇的美麗。故B正確。
【小題3】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從短文的第四段“Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.” 可以得知答案：現(xiàn)在，我只有在需要記下一個特殊的想法和感情時才寫在日記中。故B正確。
【小題4】A推理判斷題。由第五段的“I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.” 可得知答案：我意識到，生活會與我擦肩而過如果我盲目的活在照相機(jī)后面，緊張的保存現(xiàn)在以便未來重現(xiàn)它。故A正確。
