The magical world of The Little Prince brought to life!
About the exhibition
French visual artist Arnaud Nazare-Aga has worked with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth
Foundation, and together they have designed a unique touring art exhibition of sculptures inspired
by the original watercolor illustrations of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s book, The Little Prince, as
well as photos, manuscripts (手稿) and drawings.
The exhibition will be presented for the very first time in Auckland from 1st June to 25th June, 2023
to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the publication of The Little Prince.
Entitled “The Little Prince in the Dark”, the exhibition attempts to bring Saint-Exupéry’s
illustrations to life in a different way. The artist has created 13 all-white sculptures with relief (浮
雕). They are displayed in the dark to be discovered by the senses of touch and hearing. All the
magic, dreams and poetry of Saint-Exupery’s beloved book will thus be revealed in a new way never
imagined before.

In 1561, King Philip II of Spain made the decision to move the capital to Madrid, which had a
significant impact on the city’s environment that is still felt today. Some suggest that the move was
motivated by a desire for a healthier environment for his wife, as well as Madrid’s closeness to the
Manzanares River. However, the removal of the surrounding woodlands to support the royal court
exposed the city to severe weather, leading to the saying “nine months of winter and three of hell”.
Today, Madrid continues to struggle with environmental problems, such as pollution from a
large number of vehicles that enter the city each day. To battle with this issue, Madrid’s city planners
英语试卷（第2页，共10页）are constructing a 75-kilometer-long Metropolitan Forest, which is one of the most ambitious
initiatives of its kind in Europe. This forest will consist of 1.5 million trees of species native to
Madrid, along with eco-friendly bridges and recreational centers. Additionally, a 23-kilometer-long
Forest Avenue for cyclists and pedestrians will connect the new forest with existing parks, schools,
offices, and the airport. In 20 years, the Metropolitan Forest should be able to remove more than
800,000 tonnes of CO from the city’s atmosphere.
2
The idea for the forest was born in 2019 when Madrid councilors for urban development asked
the children what kind of Madrid they would like to see in 2040. The dominating response was a
“green city,” which motivated the city council to plan seriously. The city council has been aware of
Madrid’s environmental problems since the 1990s, but it wasn’t until 2019, when a survey revealed
that over 40 percent of the citizens cited the environment as the city’s number one problem that they
decided to take action.
The Metropolitan Forest project represents a significant investment in Madrid’s future,
demonstrating how a willingness to listen to the next generation’s ideas and the public’s concerns
can lead to positive change.
24. What was the consequence of King Philip II’s decision?
A. Water shortage. B. His wife’s better health.
C. Sufficient wood supply. D. Worsened climate.
25. What is the expected outcome of the Metropolitan Forest plan?
A. More automatic public service systems.
B. Wider spread of tree species unique to Madrid.
C. Greener transportation and cleaner atmosphere.
D. More investment and advanced city management.
26. What stimulated the idea for the Metropolitan Forest?
A. The proposal of Madrid’s city planners.
B. Madrid’s urgent need for urban development.
C. Younger generation’s vision of future Madrid.
D. The result of a survey among Madrid’s councilors.
27. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To call on Madrid’s citizens to go green.
B. To introduce an eco-friendly initiative of Madrid.
C. To describe the struggles of Madrid’s urbanization.
D. To argue that city plans should agree with citizens’ will.
英语试卷（第3页，共10页）C
History is written, read, told — but rarely ever is it smelled.
Historians and scientists across Europe have now gotten together with perfumers (调香师) and
museums for a unique project: to reveal what Europe smelled like between the 16th and early 20th
centuries. A European street today may smell like coffee, fresh-baked bread and cigarettes. But what
did it smell like hundreds of years ago? As part of this three-year-long project called “Odeuropa,”
the researchers want to find all the old scents (气味) of Europe — and even recreate some of this
ancient smellscape: from the dry tobacco scents to the smelly canals.
To do this, they will first build artificial intelligence (AI) that will be trained to go through
historical texts, written in seven different languages, for any descriptions of scents. The AI will also
be trained to detect images of objects in the texts that might be scented. The team will then use this
information to create an online encyclopedia (百科全书) of smells from Europe’s past.
The encyclopedia will include the meaning of certain scents and will trace the stories behind
scents, places and related practices, according to project leader Angela Lee. “This database will
become a library for the smell heritage of Europe, enabling future generations to access and learn
about the scented past.” The encyclopedia will also include descriptions of people for whom smell
was important.
The researchers will then work with chemists and perfume makers to recreate past smells and
figure out how to display the smells in museums and other historical sites. With current technology,
almost every scent can be produced. “The more difficult part of the project will be to find
descriptions of scents, because people haven’t always talked or written about them,” Lee said.
Scent plays a central role in our everyday life, even acting as a powerful time machine into
our own past with its ability to activate long-forgotten memories. But it’s also a key tool in telling
the stories of others. “Scent gives us access to the past in a much more direct and emotional way
than language and images,” Lee said.
28. Why did the researchers start the “Odeuropa” project?
A. To rebuild a historical European street.
B. To make perfumes of traditional scents.
C. To analyse the typical smells of Europe.
D. To reproduce the scented past of Europe.
29. What will the AI do in the project?
A. Collect smell-related data. B. Write interesting stories behind smells.
C. Detect objects by smell. D. Describe smells in different languages.
英语试卷（第4页，共10页）30. Which of the following is the biggest challenge the project faces?
A. Scents of the past are hard to keep.
B. Records of scents are rarely found.
C. Technology to reproduce scents is poor.
D. Display of smells in museums costs a lot.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The application of past scents. B. The effect of scents on memory.
C. The role of scent in story-telling. D. The value of understanding scent.
D
We often find ourselves struggling to control our thoughts, but why is it so hard to stop our
minds wandering? Research found our thoughts are less focused and under less control than we
realize. In a 1996 study, participants reported more than 4,000 thoughts daily, each lasting no more
than five seconds. In a 1987 study, people perceived 22% of their thoughts as strange, unacceptable
or wrong. Then, is it possible to avoid unwanted thoughts, whether it’s an upcoming exam or an
unpleasant conversation? The answer is: maybe.
In a 2022 study, the researchers showed paid volunteers a series of slides displaying different
nouns. Each noun was repeated on five different slides. As they viewed the slides, the participants
wrote down a word they associated with each given noun — for example, “road” in response to
“car.” Only the experimental group were told they wouldn’t get paid for repeated words. With this
method, the researchers sought to create a situation when someone experiences unwanted thoughts.
When the experimental group saw each noun for a second time, they took longer than the
control group to come up with a new association, suggesting their first response popped into their
mind before they replaced it. However, they got quicker each time they viewed the same slide,
indicating that their association between the given word and their first response — the thought they
were trying to avoid — was weakening.
“We didn’t find evidence that people can entirely avoid unwanted thoughts,” said research
leader Isaac Fradkin. “But the results suggest that practice can help people get better.”
Not everyone agrees that a slideshow of random words can tell how people stop emotional
thoughts. Other research suggests that avoiding thoughts can backfire. When we do it, we’re sending
our brains a message. This effort labels them as something to be feared, making them more powerful.
In the end, it might make more sense to take a mindful approach. “We can allow these thoughts
to just be in our minds, not holding onto them too tightly and not trying to fight them,” said Fradkin.
英语试卷（第5页，共10页）32. What can we learn about our thoughts from paragraph 1?
A. Most of our thoughts are valueless.
B. We tend to focus more on negative thoughts.
C. Our thoughts can occur and disappear easily.
D. We can’t keep our thoughts for over five seconds.
33. Why were the experimental group told not to repeat the related words?
A. To collect more associations.
B. To make the task more challenging.
C. To create a competitive atmosphere.
D. To set up a desired experimental context.
34. What does the underlined word “backfire” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Have an opposite effect. B. Take back the wrong message.
C. Reveal hidden problems. D. Cause a mental breakdown.
35. What does Fradkin advise us to do with unwanted thoughts?
A. Drive them away. B. Try to understand them.
C. Leave them alone. D. Learn to control them.

If you had to choose between spending all your pocket money on games and snacks, or saving
some of it for the future, which would you choose? 36 When you have the opportunity
to treat yourself to your favourite things, it can be really hard to say no. Before you know it, all your
money is gone!
It’s easy to see the fun in buying an ice-cream or going shopping with friends. 37
That’s because saving creates opportunities and opens the door to adventures. Suddenly it doesn’t
seem quite so boring when you realise saving money is the key to making your dreams come true.
38 It’s good to give yourself a mix of short-term and long-term goals, so think of
something you’d like to buy that you could save up for in a few weeks. Write down how much it
costs, then work out how much you can afford to save each week and how long it will take you to
reach your goal. It’s important to be realistic because you’ll soon get bored if you plan to save every
single penny.
It helps to keep your savings separate from the rest of your money, so that you don’t
accidentally spend it. 39 Most people choose to save their money in a savings account,
英语试卷（第6页，共10页）as this gives them an opportunity to earn interest. Some savings accounts allow you to withdraw
money whenever you like, but some will keep your money locked away for several years or until
you become an adult.
If you’re new to saving, start off by thinking of some fun goals. Every penny you save takes
you one step closer to reaching your goal. 40
A. What could be more exciting than that?
B. You could use a money box or a savings account.
C. Or, do you prefer to spend it on your favourite novels?
D. The key to successful saving is setting yourself a goal.
E. With a savings account, you can spend your money freely.
F. Think about this as we all have to make such decisions again and again.
G. However, you might be surprised to hear that saving money can be even more exciting.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a typical spring morning in Hangzhou, China. The sun was barely up, and the air was
still cool from the previous night’s rain. Wang Haoyu, a high school student, had planned an early
morning basketball game with his friend Xiao Mo. The two had been looking forward to this game
all week, and nothing was going to stop them from playing, not even the wet ground.
As they arrived at the basketball court, the dewy grass glistened in the early morning light. The
air was filled with the sound of chirping birds, and the scent of blooming flowers. However, the
ground was still wet and slippery. Haoyu suggested they be careful as they played, and they both
agreed to take extra care.
Then they started to play, the ball bouncing back and forth as they took turns to score. The
game soon became more and more intense, with both Haoyu and Xiao Mo giving it their all.
However, as the clock approached 6:45 am, something went wrong. Xiao Mo was attempting a
difficult shot when suddenly he lost his balance and slipped on the wet surface. His body and head
hit the ground hard, and he immediately became unconscious. His face went all pale.
Haoyu panicked and for a while he was unsure of what to do. Then he realized he should call
for help. He shouted at the top of his lungs, “Quick, call 120! My friend has fainted (晕)!”
Fortunately, a passer-by heard his cry and immediately dialed the number.
英语试卷（第9页，共10页）As they were waiting for the ambulance, time seemed to slow down. The fear of losing his
friend seized Haoyu, and he felt helpless as he watched Xiao Mo lying motionless on the ground.
But then, a thought crossed his mind. He remembered the first aid video he had watched in school
just a few weeks ago, which included CPR training. Haoyu knew that every second counted and that
he needed to act fast.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He quickly got down on his knees beside Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo was rushed to the hospital, accompanied by Haoyu.
