B、impetus
C、impression

解析 语意搭配题。life review意为“生活回顾”,符合句意。选项A prospect意为“展望,前景”,指事情发生的可能性,例如:With not much prospect of sealing the dispute, the talks were halted.解决争端的可能性不大,会谈暂时中止了。从文章的上下文来看,前面讲的是回忆,因此不可能回忆前景,故选项A prospect不符合题意;选项B impetus意为“动力,推动力”,例如:the primary impetus behind the economic recovery(促进经济恢复的主要动力);选项C impression意为“印象”,例如:What are your impressions of Hangzhou?
