Question

7．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．

Answer 1

分析 這是一篇說明文，介紹了作者的愛好就是記錄下自己的經(jīng)歷，但作者后來感受到記錄經(jīng)歷，不如享受現(xiàn)在．

解答 12．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由文章第一段的最后一句話"After all，isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past？"可知，我認(rèn)為通過看過去經(jīng)歷的記錄是保存過去的一種方式，故選D項(xiàng)．
13．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第三段的第一句話"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．"可知，山谷的美讓我意識到?jīng)]有什么能比得上讓自己去體驗(yàn)美．故選B項(xiàng)．
14．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第四段第一句話"Now，I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling．"可知現(xiàn)在"我"只把一些特殊想法和感受寫在日記里，故正確答案為B項(xiàng)．
15．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由最后一段的最后一句"I don't live to make memories…I just live，and the memories form themselves"可知A項(xiàng)正確，C項(xiàng)不正確；由第四段最后一句"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．"可知B項(xiàng)錯誤．由最后一段第二句話"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．"可知D項(xiàng)錯誤．

點(diǎn)評 本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主，細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息？或是其變體．搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時使用的具體事實(shí)、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息．在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié)．做這類題一般采用尋讀法？即先讀題，然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文，找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子，再對相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對比，找出答案．
