Question

【题目】 If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It’s a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects. Now, around 70 years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into 3D animated film in the 2010s.

The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with her by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.

China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions — in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl’s life and tells The Little Prince’s story at the same time in a beautiful way. Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream, which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.“The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like The Little Prince, and it’s a pity that this good characteristic goes away as time flies,” he says.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

《小王子》是法国作家写的一部著名的小说，是历史上最畅销的书之一。而现在，在这本书诞生约70年之后，一个美国导演将它拍成了一部3D动画电影。黄磊和他的女儿一起为这部电影配音。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文第一段中Now, around 70 years after the birth of the book可知，现在是《小王子》这部小说诞生约70年，由此可计算出，这部小说诞生在20世纪40年代，故应选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文第二段Slowly The Aviator shares his story with her by writing it down and sending her a page at a time.可知，飞行员把他的故事写下来，一次让小女孩读一页。由此可知应选D。

【3】词义猜测题。根据语境“The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like The Little Prince, and it’s a pity that this good characteristic goes away as time flies,” he says.可知，黄磊说：“最感人的是，我们每个人都是像小王子一样的好孩子。但遗憾的是，随着时间的流逝，这种好品质消失了”。由此可知good-nature与good characteristic同义，即“好的品质”。A“仁慈的”；B“精力充沛的”；C“自私的”；D“生气的”。因此应选A。

【4】推理判断题。根据Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream可知，黄磊和他的女儿一起在电影里配音，故D选项符合文意，选D。根据短文最后一段“The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like The Little Prince, and it’s a pity that this good characteristic goes away as time flies,” he says.可知，黄磊说我们小时候都像小王子一样，有好的品质，但随着时间的流逝他们都消失了，由此可知A和B不对；C选项在文章中没有提到。
