一、完形填空
体裁：记叙文
主题：名著节选
难度：★★★★★
Every day, the little prince told me about his planet and travels. He shared slowly as ideas came.
On the third day, he told me about the 1 problem with baobab trees(猴面包树).
He asked me, sounding worried, “Sheep eat bushes(灌木), right?”
“Yes, they do,” I said. “Ah ... Good,” he replied. I didn't understand why this 2. Then he asked, “So they eat baobabs, too?”
I explained that baobabs are 3 trees instead of little bushes. Even many elephants together couldn't eat one baobab.
But then he said something wise, “4 they grow so big, the baobabs start out by being little.”
“That's true,” I agreed. “But why do you want sheep to eat little baobabs?”
“Oh, please,” he answered, as if it was easy. I had to think hard to 5.
On his planet, there are good plants and bad plants. Good plants come from good seeds(种子), bad plants from bad seeds. Seeds are hidden(隐藏), sleeping in the ground until 6. Then, a little plant grows towards the sun. If it's a nice plant like a rose, you let it grow. But if it's a bad plant, you must 7 it up.
The little prince's planet had many bad seeds: baobab seeds. The ground was 8 of them. If you don't dig out a small baobab 9, it becomes hard later. If the planet is small and has too many 10, they can break it apart!
“It's about 11,” the little prince told me later. “I made them myself and followed them 12. After I wash myself in the morning, I must carefully ‘wash’ my planet. I must pull out the little baobabs as soon as I see them.”
One day he said, “Sometimes it's okay to put off work. But with baobabs, waiting means 13. I knew a lazy man on a planet. He paid no attention to three little bushes ...”
So, I drew that planet as he described. I don't like giving lessons, but the 14 of baobabs is not well known. Not many people have 15 that as far as I know. So I will say clearly, “Children, watch out for the baobabs!”

1. A 根据下文“He asked me, sounding worried”可知小王子很担心，由此可知猴面包树是一个大问题。故选 A。
2. B 根据上文“He asked me, sounding worried”小王子担心的语气可知猴面包树的问题很重要。故选 B。
3. C 根据下文“instead of little bushes. Even many elephants together couldn't eat one baobab”可知猴面包树是巨大的树。故选 C。
4. B 根据空后“they grow so big, the baobabs start out by being little”可知猴面包树在长大之前，一开始也很小。故选 B。
5. A 根据上文“as if it was easy. I had to think hard”的对比可知小王子以为这个问题很容易，实际上得努力思考才能理解。故选 A。
6. D looking after 照顾；falling down 掉落；handing out 分发；waking up 醒来。根据空前“Seeds are hidden, sleeping in the ground”可知种子被埋在地下，一直沉睡直到醒来。故选 D。
7. A 根据空前“But if it's a bad plant”和下文“I must pull out the little baobabs as soon as I see them.”可知要拔掉坏植物。故选 A。
8. C 根据上文“The little prince's planet had many bad seeds: baobab seeds.”可知地里满是猴面包树种子。故选 C。
9. B 根据空后“it becomes hard later”可知如果不在早期挖出小猴面包树，以后就难了，此处强调时效性。故选 B。
10. A 根据上文可知，此处介绍猴面包树的危害，如果小星球有太多猴面包树，它们会把星球撑破。故选 A。
11. D 根据下文“I made them myself and followed them”可知此处指小王子自定的规则。故选 D。
12. C 根据下文“After I wash myself in the morning, I must carefully 'wash' my planet.”可知小王子严格遵守规则。故选 C。
13. B 根据上文“Sometimes it's okay to put off work. But with baobabs”的转折以及猴面包树的危害，可知对于猴面包树，等待意味着问题。故选 B。
14. D 根据上文介绍猴面包树的危害和下文“Children, watch out for the baobabs!”可知猴面包树的危险性并没有被很好地知晓。故选 D。
15. D belonged to 属于；worked out 锻炼，想出；looked for 寻找；heard of 听说。根据上文“but the ... of baobabs is not well known”可知猴面包树的危险性并没有被很好地知晓，没有多少人听说过。故选 D。

【分析】
这是一篇选自经典名著《小王子》的记叙文完形填空，解题时首先要通读全文梳理核心主线：小王子向作者讲述自己星球上猴面包树的危害，以及必须及时清理幼苗期猴面包树的道理。逐空解题时不要孤立看待单个句子，要主动寻找上下文的线索提示：比如后文提到猴面包树体型极大、数量过多会撑破星球，可对应第一空的“大问题”；遇到陌生词义的选项可以结合前后转折、因果逻辑排除错误选项，同时留意文中的原词复现、固定搭配提示，比如后文出现的pull out就能对应第7空的动作，be full of的固定搭配也能直接对应第8空的答案，顺着线索推导就能选出所有正确选项。
【解析】
1. 后文提到小王子语气十分担忧，后续还说明大量猴面包树会撑破小星球，说明猴面包树是非常严重的大问题，选A。
2. 前文提到小王子一直很在意羊吃不吃灌木这件事，说明这件事对他来说十分重要、有分量，count此处表示“有重要性、有价值”，选B。
3. 后文提到猴面包树不是小灌木，甚至很多大象一起都吃不完一棵猴面包树，说明猴面包树体型巨大，选C。
4. 后半句说明猴面包树最开始是很小的，前半句对应逻辑为“在猴面包树长到这么大之前，它们一开始是很小的”，选B。
5. 前文小王子觉得这件事理所当然非常简单，转折后说明“我”得努力思考才能理解他的意思，选A。
6. 四个短语分别对应“照顾、掉落、分发、醒来”，前文提到种子在地下沉睡，对应直到它们“醒来”才会发芽，选D。
7. 后文直接出现原句“I must pull out the little baobabs as soon as I see them”，说明遇到坏植物必须拔掉，选A。
8. 前文提到小王子的星球有很多猴面包树的坏种子，说明地里到处都是这类种子，be full of是固定搭配表示“充满”，选C。
9. 后文提到“之后就会变得很难挖出来”，说明要在早期就把小猴面包树挖出来，选B。
10. 全文都在讲猴面包树的危害，逻辑为如果小星球上有太多猴面包树，它们就会把星球撑碎，选A。
11. 后文提到“我自己制定它们，并且遵守它们”，结合后文说每天早上洗漱完都要仔细清理星球，说明这里指的是自己定下的规则，选D。
12. 后文提到小王子每天都严格执行清理猴面包树的要求，说明他严格遵守自己定下的规则，选C。
13. 前文说有时候拖延工作没问题，转折后说明对待猴面包树不能拖延，等待就会引发严重问题，选B。
14. 后文提醒大家“小心猴面包树”，说明猴面包树的危险性并没有被广泛知晓，选D。
15. 四个短语分别对应“属于、算出/锻炼、寻找、听说”，前文说猴面包树的危险性不为人熟知，说明据我所知没有多少人听说过这件事，选D。
