①April 17 marked 10 years since Gabriel Garcia Marquez passed away at the age of 87. He was a much-loved writer and Nobel laureate (获奖者). On that day, a company shared their look at One Hundred Years of Solitude (《百年孤独》), a TV series based on Marquez’s masterpiece (杰作) novel of the same name.
②Garcia Marquez was born in Colombia but lived in Mexico for more than 30 years. He is one of the 20th century’s most famous writers.

④He wrote in a style called magical realism (魔幻现实主义). This style mixes both fantasy (幻想) and reality together. In such works, people live their daily lives during a certain period in history, but magical things happen to them.
⑤Garcia Marquez’s works tell unusual stories such as a child born with a pig’s tail and a couple that finds an old man with big wings in their courtyard. He said his grandmother often told him stories that inspired him to write his own. “She told things that sounded supernatural (超自然的) and fantastic, but she told them with complete naturalness,” he said in a 1981 interview.
⑥Marquez’s works make a great difference to the world’s literature (文学). They are not just for fun. They open a window into the everyday life and the political realities (政治现实) of Latin America.

①Dolphins are smart animals. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. Scientists say dolphins and humans are similar in some ways. How
②Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle (口哨). Each dolphin chooses a special whistle for itself, usually before its first birthday.
③Dolphins can “talk” to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings and the ways to find food. They also use sounds and body language to talk.
④Dolphins are also group animals. They travel together in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people.
⑤Both dolphins and humans make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent way to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins make a sound to the fishermen. Then the fishermen put their nets into the water. In this way, the fishermen can catch a lot of fish. And dolphins can get some of the fish that run away from the nets.

After leaving school for many years, a group of graduates (毕业生) visited their teacher. All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups—china (瓷), plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source (根源)of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink.”
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others' cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life.

According to a recent report from the United Nations, the world population continues (继续) to grow. It could reach 8.4 billion in the year 2025. But during the past 10 years or so, there has been a large and rapid (快速的) drop in the world’s birth rate.
Families are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing countries (such as China and India) and developed countries (such as America and England). Some families don’t want to have more babies because they believe that it’s difficult for them to raise two or more children.
China is such a country that it has already cut its rate of population growth since 1970. Most Chinese families have no more than one child. And it reached a zero population growth rate in 2010. But in 2021, the Chinese government passed laws to encourage (鼓励) families to have three babies, because there are too many old people now. Some factories can’t find enough people to work. That’s terrible.
Several countries in Europe already have a negative growth rate. Experts say that these countries could face a serious shortage (短缺) of workers in the future. And those who are working could face higher taxes (税) to help support the growing number of retirees (退休人员).
41．The world population will reach ________ in 2025.

Different countries have different customs in giving presents.
IN CHINA you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for “clock” is similar to the sound for “death” in Chinese. Also, don't wrap(包裹) a present in white, black, or blue paper, because these are the colours for funerals(葬礼). Don't give a knife, because something sharp(锋的) can cut a friendship.
IN RUSSIA if we give flowers as a present, we have to give odd numbers of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc.) are for funerals.
IN GERMANY flowers are a good present to take to your dinner hostess, but don't take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don't take thirteen of anything because it's an unlucky number. Don't take an even number of anything, either. Don't wrap your present in white, brown, or black paper.

31．推理判断题。根据第二段“But because the bowl was too shallow for the stork, she couldn’t drink any of the soup.”可知，狐狸给鹳准备的碗太浅了，鹳无法喝到汤；据此可以推断，狐狸没有很好地招待鹳。故选D。

39．细节理解题。根据In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink，可知，事实上，杯子本身并不能提高咖啡的质量，它只是一个用来装我们喝的东西的工具，故选D。

②Garcia Marquez was born in Colombia but lived in Mexico for more than 30 years. He is one of the 20th century’s most famous writers.

He said his grandmother often told him stories that inspired him to write his own. “She told things that sounded supernatural (超自然的) and fantastic, but she told them with complete naturalness,” he said in a 1981 interview.
⑥Marquez’s works make a great difference to the world’s literature (文学). They are not just for fun. They open a window into the everyday life and the political realities (政治现实) of Latin America.

③Dolphins can “talk” to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings and the ways to find food. They also use sounds and body language to talk.
④Dolphins are also group animals. They travel together in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people.
⑤Both dolphins and humans make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent way to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins make a sound to the fishermen. Then the fishermen put their nets into the water. In this way, the fishermen can catch a lot of fish.

After leaving school for many years, a group of graduates (毕业生) visited their teacher. All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups—china (瓷), plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source (根源)of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink.”
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others' cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life.

Families are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing countries (such as China and India) and developed countries (such as America and England). Some families don’t want to have more babies because they believe that it’s difficult for them to raise two or more children.
China is such a country that it has already cut its rate of population growth since 1970. Most Chinese families have no more than one child. And it reached a zero population growth rate in 2010. But in 2021, the Chinese government passed laws to encourage (鼓励) families to have three babies, because there are too many old people now. Some factories can’t find enough people to work. That’s terrible.
Several countries in Europe already have a negative growth rate. Experts say that these countries could face a serious shortage (短缺) of workers in the future. And those who are working could face higher taxes (税) to help support the growing number of retirees (退休人员).

Different countries have different customs in giving presents.
IN CHINA you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for “clock” is similar to the sound for “death” in Chinese. Also, don't wrap(包裹) a present in white, black, or blue paper, because these are the colours for funerals(葬礼). Don't give a knife, because something sharp(锋的) can cut a friendship.
IN RUSSIA if we give flowers as a present, we have to give odd numbers of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc.) are for funerals.
