【解析】試題分析：本文講述的是寫日記的重要作用，可以幫助我們回顧過去，展望未來；可以幫助我們拓寬思路，從舊的思想拓展到新的思想。

【1】【1】F 根據(jù)后一句Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.可知，前面講述的是寫日記的重要性，故F項符合上下文。

【2】【2】A根據(jù)前一句Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down?（你曾經(jīng)有過想到一個主意卻丟了，因為你沒有記下來的情況嗎？），后一句But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible.（但是之后我就養(yǎng)成了將每個出現(xiàn)在我腦海的主意盡快記下來的習(xí)慣），故A項（我自己經(jīng)常經(jīng)歷）串聯(lián)上下文。

【3】【3】G根據(jù)本段第一句It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned.可知，寫日記可以幫助我們克服自己以前曾經(jīng)犯過的錯誤，不要再犯。G項符合上下文的語義串聯(lián)。

【4】【4】C 根據(jù)下句After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone.可知，寫日記可以讓我們回顧過去，展望未來，故C項內(nèi)容正確。

【5】【5】E 根據(jù)前一句When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it.可知，寫日記會讓你積極的思考，故E項（積極思考幫助你把一個主意和另一個主意連接起來）承接上文。

【名師點評】本文講述的是寫日記的重要作用。本題的關(guān)鍵在于要根據(jù)上下文的語境來找出串聯(lián)的信息點，把握上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系，通過前后的意思連貫性及細(xì)致性用心的答題，定能完成的很好。
