解析

D1

1. D. 根据The style of writing that Marquez and others are credited (归功于) with inventing, “magic realism”, shifted fiction away from naturalistic (自然主义的) storytelling into amazing worlds in which, it seemed, anything could happen可知A、B两项错误，马尔萨斯作品中的奇幻现实主义风格是对南美文学传统写作风格的革命性挑战。C项与原文He thematizes (以……为主题) political corruption (腐败), civil war and the negative influence of American big business不符。根据下文对奇幻现实主义文学特点的介绍，可知作品充满了很多充满幻想风格的内容，这对读者很有吸引力。注意A book filled with such strange things seems very silly. And indeed, the author wrote that it was difficult to find a style that would draw the reader in这句提到了马尔萨斯在写作奇幻现实主义作品中遇到的挑战，但是后文也提到了他通过特殊的处理让读者信服，从而把作品的奇幻风格的魅力发挥到了最大化。

2. A. 根据Here is a random selection of incidents from his novel: A baby is born with a pig’s tail; ice is discovered; a bathroom is haunted by ghosts可知A项正确。后文更是提到了A book filled with such strange things seems very silly，因此过于真实的描写都与奇幻现实主义的文学风格不符。

3. B. 根据It seems mastering this trick of his grandmother’s helped Marquez create one of the greatest literary works of the 20th century可知B项正确。

D2

1. C. 根据I was stunned (惊讶) into silence和And now, eight years after I left home and started a new life in the UK, I realized for the first time that my dad still has expectations for me to be like a princess and to maintain some dependency (依赖) and vulnerability (柔弱), which were considered virtues (美德) of women in traditional China可知面对父亲的关照，作者既惊讶又困惑。父亲从小就对作者严格要求，如今却如此照顾她，让她觉得有些不适应。因此C项最合适。

2. D. 根据Little did Dad know, that over the three years of my university life, I moved flats five times all by myself和Meanwhile, living in the UK, a country currently led by a female prime minister, I have never thought there is anything girls cannot do可知作者在伦敦生活的过程中培养了独立自主的个性。其他选项与文中描述不符。

3. B. 根据This was not the father I remembered from childhood, who trained me to study hard at school, asked me to earn my own pocket money as a teenager at a local coffee shop, and even taught me household chores so my life alone in London wouldn’t turn into a mess可知作者感激父亲多年的严格要求和培养，这才使自己能够顺利融入海外生活。

D3

1. B. 根据But has it ever occurred to you that a wandering mind might be a good thing和后文的介绍可知本文主要是介绍走神的好处，开篇第一段就是利用读者的常识来引入话题。

2. B. 根据It turned out that mind-wandering is a talent that benefits our creativity可知B项正确，走神可以帮助我们提高创造力，从而改善表现。根据It’s even been suggested that zoning out may have helped early humans survive in difficult conditions可知D项错误。

3. C. 根据it affects performance in physical activities可知counterproductive表示负面的含义，它的意思是“起相反作用的，妨碍的”，因此C项最合适。

D4

1. B。根据文章前三段可知，作者经常藏一枚硬币的原因是希望给找到它的过路人一个惊喜，因此答案为B。A、C两项文中未提及，D项作者在第三段中表示自己不会逗留观察，因此排除。

2. C。根据第三段“I was greatly excited during all this”、“I would go straight home and not give the matter another thought”可知答案为C。A项作者只会用粉笔画线引导人们去寻找，不会大喊；B项作者未提及回家告知父母；D项作者不会逗留在原地，而是会径直离开。

3. C。根据文章第四段可知，作者认为其实生活中这样美好的小事很多，但人们经常会对美好的小事不屑一顾，也不会发现它们，因此答案为C。A项与作者意思不符；B项作者项表达的是人们对一分钱不屑一顾，而不是不够生活；D项作者没有提及他人对自己的帮助。

4. D。通读全文，作者的主要观点是，生活中像“捡到一分钱”这样美好的小事其实很多，但人人往往对此视而不见或是不屑一顾，我们应该睁大眼睛去发现生活中的美好。因此答案为D。A项并非作者的主要观点；B项与文章意思不符；C项作者未提及他人的帮助和回报社会。

泛听原文

If you visit Australia, you will probably go to Sydney or the beaches. But have you thought about visiting the outback?

Australia is a very big country, almost as large as China. But not many people live there. In fact, there are more people in Beijing than all of Australia. That means there is lots of empty space where there are not many cities or people. In Australia, this area is called the outback.

The outback is in the middle of the country, and Alice Springs is the biggest city in the outback. Many people go to Alice Springs to see Uluru.

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a beautiful big rock. It is sacred (神圣的) to the Australian native people, called Aboriginese, who live in the area.

Another great thing to see in the outback is Kakadu National Park. It is just north of Alice Springs and covers 22,000 square km. Birds, kangaroos, wallabies (小袋鼠), lizards (蜥蜴), crocodiles and snakes all live in Kakadu. If you sit quietly, you can see them drinking from the beautiful waterholes.

The natural beauty of the outback is very different to what you will see in a big city. At night you can see millions of stars in the sky.

If you are planning a holiday to Australia, the outback is worth a visit.
