【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍一位伟大的作家Garcia Marquez，他毕生的经历和著作。

1.句意：世界停止于四月十七日纪念一位文化巨人，Garcia Marquez在获得诺贝尔文学奖的作家之后去世了，享年87岁。本空应该用不定式短语作目的状语，故填to remember。

2.句意：Garcia Marquez出生在哥伦比亚但是在莫斯科居住了三十多年。居住在莫斯科这件事发生在过去，因此要用live的过去式lived。

3.句意：他是20世纪最著名的作家之一。结合后文时态，可知本空应该是一般现在时。故填is。

4.句意：他以他1967年的小说《百年孤独》而闻名，be best known“以…而闻名”。故填known。

5.句意：这本书已经售出五千万份。句中有already，可知应该用现在完成时。故填has sold。

考点：短文填空。
