In 2014, the world paused to remember a cultural giant on April 17. Nobel Prize winning writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez died on that day at the age of 87.

Garcia Marquez was born in Colombia (哥伦比亚), but lived in Mexico for more than 30 years. He is one of the 20th century’s most famous writers. He is best known for his novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude (《百年孤独》). It tells the story of a family over several generations. The story is a metaphor (暗喻) for the development of Colombia since the 19th century. The novel has sold about 50 million copies.

He wrote in a style called “magical realism (魔幻现实主义)” This style blends (融合) fantasy and reality. In such works, people live regular lives during a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile, magical things happen to them.

In Garcia Marquez’s works, a child is born with a pig’s tail, and a couple finds an old man with big wings in their courtyard. He said he was inspired by childhood stories told by his grandmother. She believed that everything was possible. She often told him stories about ghosts in their house.

But his works are quite serious. He wrote during a period when much of Latin America was suffering from a civil war. Everyday life in Colombia was filled with chaos (混乱). That’s why magical realism works well.

Curry around the world

“Curry” is the English word used to describe meat or vegetables in a spicy, usually served with rice. It is believed that the word “Curry” comes from the Tamil word “kari”.

Curries have been very popular dishes in many Asian countries throughout history. Although curry is believed to come originally from India, it has been eaten in many other Asian countries—for thousands of years.

Today, curries are eaten all over the world. This tasty, spicy dish was brought to the West by British people from India in the 17th century.

What we call curry today is an international dish that is well known around the world. Over time and distance, the flavours of dishes change so that the people eating the dish will like it. For example, the most popular curry in restaurants in the UK is called chicken tikka masala. Many British people think this is an Indian dish. However, it is really a dish created by restaurants in the UK and is not a traditional Asian dish at all.

Today curry is loved by people all over the world, unless, of course they don’t like spicy food. （选自《补充习题》九下)

In the village of Kila Raipur， people would like to take part in their unusual Olympics. Even though the villagers don’t spend millions of dollars on the sport， these games seem to be much more fun than the real Olympics!

Now in its 77th year， the sport took place in the village Kila Raipur in an Indian state from January 31st to February 3rd. A villager by the name of Inder Singh Grewal wanted to organize an event which would allow farmers to show their skills， keep their culture and just have a good time.

Over the years， it has become popular and now includes not just the farmers， but also some of the world’s finest athletes from 7 to 70 years of age. In keeping up with times， there are different modern sports， such as hockey and race and traditional ones such as tug-of-war and even Kabaddi.

However， the ones that interest the biggest crowds are the special sports like the bull(公牛)races. In the races， bulls run at high speed against each other， with athletes balanced on small carts(手推车). Then there is the game that challenges athletes to lift bicycles with their teeth. Another sport is using their teeth to pull a car. If that is not special enough for you to get excited about this， there is a competition that allows a tractor(拖拉机) to run over an athlete’s body!

All in all， the sport not only tests the skills and strength of its athletes， but also cheers up people. The best part is that everyone， old or young， can take part in the sport. So it’s no wonder that over 4，000 athletes and over a million watchers run into the small village of Kila Raipur， each year!

My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home. But he would come back help to harvest(收割) rice every year.

One autumn， he promised to help our neighbor， who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999， to harvest his rice. After Father harvested our own， his little rice picker broke. What’s worse， he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital. It meant that Father wouldn’t be back in a few days. It now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that he wouldn’t let the neighbor’s rice rot( 糜烂) in the field. He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine. “If tonight’s weather is clear， I think I can do it.” added my father. In fact， he was rather tired after a day’s harvest work.

After dinner， Father had a short rest and made his way to the field. A full moon was glowing (发光) in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night keeping his word.

I would never forget the image(画面)：Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him， row after row of rice stocks(秸秆) stood at attention， showing respect for a man who kept his word.

（丰台一模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

If you’re going to travel the world this summer, you should make up a travel budget (预算) before you hit the road. This budget will help you know how much

you need to save before leaving home so that you don’t need to call mom and dad, begging for help halfway through your trip. Here are three tips to help you plan your money for the trip you have planned for this summer vacation.

Pick a location that fits your budget

The countries you choose to visit will have the greatest influence on the necessary size of your travel budget. Road tripping across America or backpacking through Europe, while popular, are two of the more expensive choices for a vacation. In contrast, a visit to Asia or South America will be much less expensive than back home.

“Fun” activities are expensive

It seems to be necessary to plan your travel budget around three major costs…

1.Transportation

2.Hotels

3.Food

Paying for these necessities is part of travel, but you might be surprised to learn that they could add up to less than half of the money you’ll spend abroad. If you’re like me, your “dream vacation” includes more than sitting in your hotel bed.

When I was living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I owned a small apartment and ate delicious Asian noodles 3 times per day. With the room at $5 per night and meals for $1, I spent about $8 per day.

One of the coolest things to do in Chiang Mai is to go on a zip line adventure. It cost me $60 to get into the trees, which is about what I paid to live for 1 week in

Thailand. If you want to go on an excursion (远足) every day, you’ll easily spend

five times as much on “fun” as you do on necessities. This is true all over the world, so make sure you plan excursions into your travel budget ahead of time.

● Plan for the unexpected

You won’t always be prepared for everything that comes your way while traveling. You need at least $1,000 to help you deal with the unexpected.

First, there’s the good kind of unexpected…

When I was traveling through France on my summer vacation three years ago,

I had no idea that the annual bull running festival (奔牛节) was happening in Spain. A traveler who had just arrived from Spain told me about the festival and because I had some extra money I was able to change my plans and attend!

There’s also the bad kind of unexpected…

When I entered Thailand, I forgot my visa expiration date (签证截止日期). I

ended up overstaying by nearly 1 month! When I crossed the border (边境), I was politely told I needed to pay the Thai government nearly $400!

Giving yourself some extra money is very important to your safety and the enjoyment of your trip.

1.What should you do if you’re going to travel the world?

2.How much did the writer spend getting into the trees in Thailand?

3.What does the writer think of going on an excursion?

4.Why could the writer attend the annual bull running festival?

5.What’s the passage mainly about?

Some people seem to have extraordinary (非凡的) memories. Zheng Aiqiang, a “memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain (《最强大脑》), can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!

You would think people like this have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from the United States and the Netherlands (荷兰), the brain structure (结构) of ordinary(普通的) people and 23 of the world’s leading memory athletes shows no difference.

That’s because good memories can be trained. New research in the journal Neuron (《神经元》) suggests that you can become a super memorizer with just six weeks of hard training, reported The Guardian.

Researchers found that a technique (技巧) called loci, invented by the ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory.

By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brain’s memory networks. You can link (关联) something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be the handle (把手) on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.

“Not everyone can become a (memory) champion. But everyone using the technique can improve a lot from the level they’re at,” said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.

回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过7个词。

1.How many numbers can Zheng Aiqiang remember in just one hour?

_____________________________________________

2.Are the brain structure of ordinary people and 23 of the world’s leading memory athletes different or similar?

______________________________________________

3.When using loci to remember something, what do you link something with ?

_______________________________________________

4.How long does it take an ordinary person to train hard to be a super memorizer?

5.Who was loci invented by?

Talking about his achievements of his career, Ronaldo showed pride. Ronaldo was also asked about Messi, who was seen as his biggest enemy to be considered the best player in the world. “Whether you are No. 1 or not is not so important.

A recent report by the American Heart Association — a big organization that encourages adults and kids to stay healthy —found that today’s kids are 15 percent less healthy than kids from years ago. What does that mean? Let’s say you’re a 12-year-old girl. You’re not a sports superstar, but you’re pretty good — kind of average (平均的). Let’s say your mom was the same kind of kid when she was your age. Now imagine we could set up a mile race between you and your mom from 30 years ago. Wouldn’t that be cool? What wouldn’t be so cool is that the study shows your mom would probably beat you in the race by 90 seconds (秒). That’s a lot. It was the same for boys. An average boy from 30 years ago would beat an average boy today.

The scientists who did the study think there are some reasons for the big fall in fitness. First, too many of today’s kids are overweight (超重的). That makes it harder for them to run fast. Second, kids today don’t get enough exercise. Doctors say kids should get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. That’s why it is important for schools to have P.E. classes.

So what should kids do? If you don’t want your mom and dad to think they are faster than you, don’t spend a lot of time playing video games, watching TV or movies. Instead, do things that will get you up and to move.

根据材料内容简要回答下列问题。

1.What did the report find?

2.Would an average boy from 30 years ago beat an average boy today?

3.How many reasons does the writer give to explain the big fall in fitness?

4.How much exercise do kids need a day according to the passage?

5.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

One day, his friend gave Smith a young apple tree and told him to take it home and planted. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where to plant. He thought and thought. Finally at night he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.

“What’s the difference?” the farmer said angrily. ”If I had planted it near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted it in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit,” “Yes,” said the friend, “but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit.
