The Fox said to the Little Prince, “My life is monotonous. I hunt chickens and men hunt me. All chickens are just alike, and all men are just alike. And, as a result, I am a little bored. But if you tame(驯服) me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hiding under the ground. Yours will call me out of my hole, like music.”
The Little Prince asked, “What must I do to tame you?”
“You must be very patient,” replied the Fox. “First, you will sit down at a little distance from me—like that—in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But every day, you may sit a little closer...”
So the Little Prince tamed the Fox. And when the hour of his departure(离开) drew near...
“Ah,” said the Fox, “I shall cry.”
“It is your own mistake,” said the Little Prince. “I never wished you any sort of harm, but you wanted me to tame you...”
“Yes, that is so,” said the Fox.
“But now you are going to cry!” said the Little Prince.
“Yes, that is so,” said the Fox.
“Then it has done you no good at all!”
“It has done me good,” said the Fox, “because of the colour of the wheat fields.”

答案：7.B 8.D 9.C 10.B
解析：
7. 词义猜测题。根据第一段中狐狸的描述：它的日常就是捕猎鸡、被人类追捕，所有的鸡和人类都没有区别，它因此觉得有些无聊，可推断monotonous的含义是单调的、无聊且一成不变的，对应选项B。
8. 细节理解题。根据狐狸给出的驯服步骤的描述“First, you will sit down at a little distance from me—like that—in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing.”可知，驯服它的第一步是坐在和它有一定距离的草地上，什么都不用说，对应选项D。
9. 推理判断题。得知狐狸要哭之后，小王子表示自己从来没想过伤害狐狸，是狐狸主动想要被自己驯服的，能看出小王子此时既感到意外，又有一点愧疚和抱歉，对应选项C。
10. 主旨大意题。整个故事讲述了小王子和狐狸通过“驯服”建立起特殊的真挚联结，离别时狐狸会因不舍难过哭泣，但这段友谊也给狐狸原本单调的生活带来了独有的美好意义，展现了真挚友谊中相伴的喜悦和离别的伤感，对应选项B。
