Today, many people on social media love to share creative notes they write in their books. These notes, called marginalia, can be very colourful and detailed, sometimes even matching the book's cover. This has started a big discussion: Is writing in books a bad habit, or is it actually helpful?
Marginalia is not new. The famous artist and thinker Leonardo da Vinci wrote his ideas about gravity(地心引力) in the margins of his notebooks, years before Galileo wrote about it. Well-known writers like Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe also did this. More recently, the writer Ann Patchett shared how much she enjoyed adding notes to her own book, Tom Lake, creating a special version for readers. This special book even helped raise money for small bookstores.
Scientists have found that writing by hand is very good for our brains. Studies show that the physical act of writing with a pen on paper can help you remember and understand things better. An expert, Maryanne Wolf, said that when we write notes as we read, it helps us think more deeply. We can go beyond just understanding the author's ideas and start to discover our own thoughts about the text.
People have different styles of taking notes. Some online are very artistic, while the notes for school might be more straightforward. Experts say that the most important thing is that the note-taking helps the reader. If someone wants to use colourful pens and sticky notes to make their book look beautiful, that's perfectly fine. The goal is to connect with the book in a way that is meaningful to them.

解析
【分析】
首先针对每道题梳理解题思路：1. 61题是词义猜测题，需定位第一段，找到“marginalia”的定义，结合前文“share creative notes they write in their books”，明确该词指读者在书中写的详细笔记，据此判断选项；2. 62题问作者回应第一段问题的方式，第一段提出问题后，第二段列举了达芬奇、爱伦坡等名人的例子，属于举例论证，据此选答案；3. 63题是推理判断题，需结合全文作者观点，逐一排除错误选项，确定作者支持的核心观点；4. 64题是细节理解题，定位第三段，提取笔记的优点，排除原文未提及的内容，选出正确组合；5. 65题是主旨大意题，梳理全文核心内容，排除偏离或相悖的选项，确定最佳标题。
【解析】
61. 解析：根据第一段“many people on social media love to share creative notes they write in their books. These notes, called marginalia”可知，marginalia指读者在书中写的详细笔记，对应选项C。A是社交媒体，B是带彩色封面的好书，D是讨论的好习惯，均不符合，故选C。
62. 解析：第一段提出问题后，第二段列举了达芬奇、赫尔曼·麦尔维尔、埃德加·爱伦·坡等名人在书中写笔记的例子，作者通过举例回应问题，对应选项B。A是列数据，C是下定义，D是对比事实，均不符合，故选B。
63. 解析：A选项原文未比较达芬奇和伽利略的笔记能力，错误；B选项不同人的观点不是作者核心支持的内容，错误；C选项是Ann Patchett的特殊书帮助小书店筹钱，而非她为读者筹钱，错误；D选项结合第三段“writing by hand is very good for our brains...help you remember and understand things better”可知，作者支持写marginalia有帮助的观点，故选D。
64. 解析：定位第三段，原文提到手写笔记的优点：①帮助记忆和理解；③帮助加深思考；④帮助发现自身想法；②“在纸上表现更好”原文未提及，故排除②，对应选项C。
65. 解析：文章围绕“在书中写笔记（marginalia）的好处”展开，A选项“在书中写笔记有益——原因在此”符合主旨；B选项与原文观点相悖，C选项“作家推荐”偏离，D选项“网上走红”不是核心，故选A。
