2.细节理解题。根据短文第一段中This summer I've reviewed The Little Prince. It was first published in 1943.It's a world­famous fairy tale written by the French author Antoine可知，《小王子》这个童话是法国的作家Antoine写的，由此可知应选A。

3.细节理解题。根据短文第二段中he grows a flower called ROSE there. One day they have a quarrel(争吵)，so the little prince runs away.可知，小王子跟他种的花ROSE吵架了，所以他跑走了。故应选D。

4.词义猜测题。根据文中His plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara.以及划线单词所在的句子And with the help of the man he meets， he descends in the Sahara可知，descend跟上文中的land 意思相同，着陆。故应选C。

5.主旨大意题。这篇短文作者讲述了他很喜欢的一部童话《小王子》，这是一部世界闻名的童话故事。整个第二段介绍的是这部童话的内容，最后一段是作者对这部童话的感受。因此B选项这个题目最能概括文章的内容，选B。

点睛：这篇短文中作者介绍了他非常喜欢的一个童话，短文内容主题突出，这对于学生抓住文章的中心是很有帮助的。后面题目的设置包括细节理解、词义猜测和主旨大意题，我们阅读了第一段之后，就能够把握住文章的主题，因此第5小题的这个题目是比较容易选出的。比较难的题是第4小题，这个单词是一个纯生词，我们只能结合文意，从上下文的联系上去猜测。在上文中出现了lands in the Sahara，因此我们推测这个生词的意思和land意思相同。
