D
The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one. There the little prince met an old gentleman who was writing a big book.
“What is that big book?” said the little prince.
“What are you doing?”
“I am a geographer,” the old gentleman said to him. “And I am writing about all the seas, mountains and deserts.”
“That is interesting,” said the little prince. “So could you tell me something about your planet?”
“I couldn’t tell you,” said the geographer.
“But you are a geographer!”
“Exactly,” the geographer said. “But I am not an explorer. We don’t have any explorers here. I don’t go out to count the seas, mountains and deserts. Instead, I receive explorers from other planets in my study. I ask them questions, and I write down their answers.”
The geographer’s eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
“But you ... you come from far away! You are an explorer! You shall describe your planet to me!”
“Oh, where I live,” said the little prince, “it is all so small. I have a flower on my planet.”
“We do not record flowers,” said the geographer.
“Why is that? The flower is the most beautiful thing on my planet!”
“We do not record them,” said the geographer, “because they are ephemeral.”
“What does that mean ... ‘ephemeral’?”
“Geographies,” said the geographer, “are the books about eternal(永恒的) things. The thing that matters to us is the mountain. It doesn’t change. But your flower is different. It will not last long. It is ephemeral.”
“My flower is ephemeral,” the little prince said to himself, “and I have left her on my planet, all alone!”
That was his first moment of regret. But he took courage and asked, “What place would you advise me to visit now?”
“The planet Earth,” replied the geographer. “I promise you will like it.”
And the little prince went away, thinking of his flower.
—Adapted from The Little Prince

35. What can we learn from the text?
A. One flower doesn’t bring spring.
B. A good book is a light to the mind.
C. We should protect our home planet—Earth.
D. You can find beauty even if it doesn’t last long.

答案： 32 B 推理判断。通读全文并根据最后的Adapted fromTheLittlePrince可知，文章最可能是节选于一本故事书。
33 B 细节理解。根据第七段中“Instead，I receive explorers from other planets in my study. I ask them questions，and I write down their answers.”可知，这位地理学家收集探险家的经历。
34 C 词义猜测。根据倒数第五段中“But your flower is different. It will not last long. It is ephemeral.”可知，花和山不同，花并不会长久，故画线词意为“短暂的”。
35 D 主旨大意。通读全文可知，小王子的花的花期虽然短暂，但小王子认为它是星球上最美的东西，由此可知，即使是不能长久存在的东西，也能为我们带来美好。

《小王子》(法语名LePetitPrince)是法国作家安托万·德·圣-埃克苏佩里于1943年创作的经典中篇寓言小说，被誉为“全球销量仅次于《圣经》”的经典作品。《小王子》讲述了一名飞行员因飞机故障迫降在撒哈拉沙漠的奇幻经历。在那里，他遇到了一个来自外星的、金发小男孩——小王子。随着两人的交谈，飞行员逐渐了解了小王子的身世和他的星际旅程。
这个故事通过小王子的纯净视角，批判了成人世界的功利与麻木，并借由他与玫瑰和狐狸的故事，深刻地探讨了爱的真谛——是责任、理解与独一无二的联结。它提醒我们，不要忘记自己曾经也是个孩子，要永远保持内心的纯真与洞察本质的能力。
