語篇解讀:本文為記敘文。作者小時候喜歡寫日記，每天忙著把“現在”記錄在本子上。但她13歲時的一

次經歷使她意識到，我們應該學會享受而不是記錄“現在”，”活著不是為了記憶”。

答案及剖析：1.D事實細節題。根據第一段內容，尤其是最后一句“畢竟，積累記憶不就是保存過去的一

種方式嗎?”可知選D?

2.B事實細節題。第二、三段描述了作者13歲時的經歷，當時作者還是熱衷于為了將來的回憶而記錄

現在，但晚上當她發現山谷的美麗時突然明白，“我寫的任何東西都比不上此時讓自己好好感受山谷的美麗”,

從此作者的態度發生了轉變。

3.B事實細節題。根據第四段可知,作者現在只把自己特別的想法或情感寫在日記中，故B項正確。

4.A推理判斷題。最后一段作者說，“也許我會忘了一些事實，但至少，這些經歷將永遠在我的心中”。這

就是作者對生活的感悟:把握現在，感受今天，生活重在感受而不是為了回憶而記錄。

【長難句子分析】

那時，我明白了我所寫的任何東西都比不上或代替不了讓我自己好好感受山谷驚人美麗的這幾秒鐘。

理的，自己應該學會站在別人的角度去思考問題。A項意為“趁熱打鐵二B項意為“為某人的朋友說好話”;C

通規則，因為這個社會需要彼此的信任。

答案及剖析:LB事實細節題。根據第一段“SeveraltimesIgotstuckbehindaslow-movingtruck...andI

becameincreasinglyimpatient.”可知,作者有點兒不耐煩了，這是因為被大卡車阻擋了好兒次。
