　　语篇解读：本文介绍了20世纪的文学巨匠、诺贝尔文学奖获得者加西亚·马尔克斯的生平。

　　1．novelists　前面有"one of ..."修饰，需用名词复数形式，句子主语为人，所以应用novelists(小说家)。

　　2．called　"called 'magical realism'"是过去分词短语作定语，修饰style，分词动作call与逻辑主语style之间是被动关系。

　　3．a　live a ... life是习惯搭配，意思是"过着......样的生活"。

　　4．basic　空格中所填单词在句中修饰名词qualities，需用base的形容词形式。

　　5．for　be known for意思是"因为......而闻名"，符合语境。

　　6．have been sold　主语是谓语动词动作sell的承受者，用被动语态；时间状语so far与现在完成时连用。

　　7．which　此处用which引导定语从句。

　　8．what　"what has happened to it"是宾语从句，what在从句中作主语。

　　9．away　"pass away"是"死"的委婉表达。

10．to remember　此处是不定式短语作目的状语。
