Question

【題目】I believe the very nature of writing is to set the writer free, not to impress readers. I encourage my students to write freely. By now we taste the good of free writing and enjoy it very much. And I imagine you may have tons of questions about free writing. First, how to improve my logic? 【1】The power of writing has to do with its emotion, and logic, and therefore we try extra hard to be logical — but this kind of forced logic is not something we can force on ourselves, or on our writings. When we let our emotional voice come out freely, our logical voice will also come out — that is the charm of free writing. Read your own free writings, you will find many free writings are quite logical indeed. You are not that illogical as you thought of yourself.

【2】Yes, sometimes our ideas are boring, and sometimes we are boring people — so what? Who says we have to be amazing all the time? Let’s respect our human reality. The good thing we need to do is to continue to write patiently. Persistence wins the battle. Sometimes the idea may seem boring to us, but as we continue to write, something else will come up. 【3】Our writing does not have to be immortal(不朽的) or amazing. Writing is just a way to express ourselves. Please don’t worship writing.

Now, what if my writing often shows my dark side that I don’t want to see at all?

【4】As human beings, we all have our dark sides. What is the right way for us to become better people? To face them honestly or to hide them and pretend they never exist? Honesty is always the best policy. Our dark sides need to be expressed, and free writing is a perfect outlet. The miracle is, after you express yourself truthfully, you will have less negative emotions, be more at peace with yourself, and have more compassion(同情) for others. 【5】 Many of my students have experienced the healing effects of free writing. And I believe you will experience the same wonderful healing.

A. This is a very honest question.

B. Logic is only one aspect of writing.

C. Then, what if my ideas are boring?

D. And free writing is exactly the opposite.

E. We write to free ourselves, and also to free others.

F. Have you ever wondered why free writing sets us free?

G. Our goal is not to amaze people, but to express ourselves.

試題分析：本文談的是作者對(duì)于自由寫(xiě)作的看法和認(rèn)識(shí)。

【1】B根據(jù)上句“how to improve my logic?”中的關(guān)鍵詞logic，可知B項(xiàng)“邏輯是寫(xiě)作中的一方面”，與下文“寫(xiě)作要處理情感、邏輯……”，上下連接自然。故選B。

【2】C根據(jù)下句“Yes, sometimes our ideas are boring”，本處用C項(xiàng)“Then, what if my ideas are boring?”過(guò)渡，引出下文，符合語(yǔ)境。故選C。

【3】G上文“Who says we have to be amazing all the time?(誰(shuí)說(shuō)我們得一直讓人驚訝？)”，本處“我們的目的不是使人驚訝，而是表達(dá)自我”承接上文，符合語(yǔ)境。故選G。

【4】A本處上句發(fā)問(wèn)“what if my writing often shows my dark side that I don’t want to see at all?(如果寫(xiě)作展示了我們不想看到的黑暗面怎么辦？)”，本處應(yīng)答“This is a very honest question．(這是一個(gè)很誠(chéng)實(shí)的問(wèn)題)”承接上文，符合語(yǔ)境。故選A。

【5】E根據(jù)上句“在你充分地表達(dá)自我后，你會(huì)有較少的負(fù)面情緒，能夠?qū)ψ约焊�平和，�?duì)他人更加充滿同情”，本處“我們寫(xiě)作不僅解脫了自己，也解放了別人”承接上文，符合語(yǔ)境。故選E。
