四、(2025·盐城)阅读理解。〔人与社会——名著阅读〕
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'?"
"Geography，" said the geographer，"is the book about eternal 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.

【分析】
本题是基于名著《小王子》节选的英语阅读理解题，包含细节理解、词义猜测、主旨推理类题目。解题思路为：先通读全文梳理文章大意（小王子在第六星球遇到地理学家的对话内容）；再针对每道题目，定位原文对应信息，结合选项逐一排除错误选项，确定正确答案。
【解析】
1. 第1题：题干问文本最可能来自哪里。根据文章标注“Adapted from *The Little Prince*”可知，这是故事《小王子》的节选，属于故事书。A选项“电影海报”、C选项“旅游指南”、D选项“新闻报道”均不符合，故选B。
2. 第2题：题干问关于地理学家的信息。原文提到“I receive explorers from other planets in my study. I ask them questions，and I write down their answers.”，说明他收集其他星球探险家的经历，对应B选项。A选项“他很了解自己的星球”与原文“I couldn't tell you”矛盾；C选项“他喜欢读大书”无依据；D选项“他去过很多其他星球”与原文“I am not an explorer”矛盾，故选B。
3. 第3题：题干问划线词“ephemeral”的意思。原文地理学家解释“Geography is the book about eternal things... But your flower is different. It will not last long. It is ephemeral.”，可知该词意为“短暂的”，对应C选项。A选项“保持不变”、B选项“看起来美丽”、D选项“听起来有趣”均不符合，故选C。
4. 第4题：题干问从文本能学到什么。原文中小王子的花虽短暂（ephemeral），但他很在意，对应D选项“即使美不长久也能发现美”。A选项“一花独放不是春”、B选项“好书是心灵的明灯”、C选项“应保护地球”均与文本主旨不符，故选D。
