Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon〞? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid(防止) eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon〞. While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.
In fact, the moon itself is never really blue. The phrase “blue moon〞 has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.
As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate(联系)
names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip(尖端) of a fingernail(指甲) When we can't see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called “a blue moon〞.
Over the next twenty years, there will only be 15 blue moons . As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people t o use the expression “once in a blue moon〞 to other very rare events in their lives.
51. The phra se "once in a blue moon" refers to "________.
A. rare events
B. popular things
C. different moons
D. exciting news
52. In fact, “blue moon〞 has to do with the ________ of the moon.
A. size
B. shape
C. color
D. time
53. Which picture describes a crescent moon?
A. B. C. D.
54. The passage introduces ________ names of the moon according to its shapes.
A. two
B. three
C. four
D. five
55. The “blue moo n〞 will happen ________ over the next twenty years.
A. once a year
B. less than once a year D. twice a year
C. more than once a year
C
“BANG!〞 the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I was on the other side. We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!〞 stormed father. I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather a sad feeling.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree. But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. I wandered in the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?〞
All the lights were off except father’s. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up(悄悄来到) in my sleep. This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us di d not exist at all. Love —it’s second to none.
56. Seeing the young father with a child, the writer might have the following feelings EXCEPT ___________.
A. he admired them very much
B. he felt disappointed with his father
C. he felt that happines s had been far away from him
D. he wished that the relation between them could also be so harmonious
57. The father often shouts at his son perhaps because ___________.
A. the son has already grown up
B. the father is getting older and older
C. the father has got used to doing that
D. the boy always does something wrong
58. Which is the best order of the following according to the passage ?
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I walked about in the street without any aim.
d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards m
e.
e. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
A. b, e, d, c, a
B. b, c, e, d, a
C. b, e, a, c, d
D. b, e, c, a, d
59. The underlined sentence in the passage “Love —it’s second to none.〞means “___________〞.
A. Love is nothing.
B. Love is in the second place.
C. Love is above all.
D. Love is something important.
60. We can infer from the passage that ___________.
A. the father is actually kind to his son
B. the father treats his son in an unfair way
C. the father is neither kind nor cruel to his son
D. the father is always finding fault with his son
D
Have you ever wanted to try on clothes without going to the trouble
of getting undressed? If you have, here’s the device for you: the
virtual (虚拟的) fitting room.
The technology, designed by Russian company AR Door, was first
tried out in May. When a customer walks into a “fitting〞 room,
they’ll stand in front of a big screen that looks like a mirror.
A camera in the mirror, using Microsoft Kinect, monitors a
customer’s movement and projects a 3-D image of the clothes onto
you while you stand before a screen.
The room also uses augmented reality technology. “Augmented reality allows the customers to select an item of clothing without having to try it on physically.〞 the company told the Daily Mail. A customer can spin around to see all angles (角度) of the clothes, and can control the program by pushing ritual buttons.
AR Door is not the only company to be de veloping technology to help people with the way they look. Japanese company Shiseido recently presented its Magic Mirror, a virtual make-up mirror that allows people to get a full makeover in seconds.
However, the technology is not perfect. The clothes still seem to hang on the surface of the body, rather than look like the customer is actually wearing them. And people shopping
for clothes are probably still better off actually trying them on. In the end, you won’t know how something really looks and feels.
61. The virtual fitting room is technology that ________.
A. can help people buy clothes on the Internet
B. allows people to walk freely in the fitting room
C. allows people to watch a movie while trying on clothes
D. can help people select clothes without having to try them on
62. The virtual fitting room was invented in ________.
A. Russia
B. Japan
C. America
D. England
63. In the virtual fitting room, there is ________ on the screen.
A. a computer
B. a fitting room
C. a camera
D. a mirror
64. The underlined word “spin around〞 means “________〞 in the passage.
A. web around
B. turn around
C. go around
D. look around
65. From the last paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A. people still need to try on clothes before buying them
B. few people shop for clothes in clothing stores
C. the magic mirror is now widely used
D. the virtual fitting room is perfect

Have you ever done something foolish that made you feel so embarrassed(为难的)?
Well, that’s exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn, I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home, it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box since I didn’t have an umbrella. 66 .
A few moments later, I saw a young man walk up to the phone box, wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. 67 , so I picked up the phone and pretended I was talking to someone.
