课下作业（二） 高考语篇提能练

Ⅰ.阅读理解

The moon provided a rare triple treat on January 31, when much of the world admired not only a blue moon and a visible supermoon, but also a total lunar eclipse (月食). Having all three events taking place at the same time is extremely unusual. Such celestial (天体的) coincidence hasn't happened in more than 150 years.

It's the first lunar eclipse since September of 2015. A total lunar eclipse happens when the earth comes between the sun and a full moon. earth blocks the sun's light, making the moon appear dark in the sky.

Being the final one in a supermoon trilogy — the first two of which

appeared on December 3, 2017 and January 1, 2018, it also won the title of a blue moon. A blue moon is a second full moon in one month. It is rare enough that English speakers use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe something that does not happen often!

A supermoon is a full moon. It appears brighter and bigger than average because the moon is at its closest orbital point to the earth. The eclipsed moon appeared about 6% bigger than an average moon when it moved into the earth's shadow. In the total lunar eclipse, the earth covered the moon's surface with its shadow, giving it a red-like colour. For that reason, it is also known as a “blood moon”．

Some called the lunar event a “super blue blood moon”. Noah Petro, a scientist with the American space agency NASA, called the lunar event, “the Super Bowl of moons”．

语篇解读：2018年1月31日月亮给全世界大部分地方带来了三重乐趣——蓝月亮、超级月亮和月全食。下次要想看到这样的超级蓝血月，还要再等待152年。

1．The underlined word “triple” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to ________. A．dozen C．three

B．double D．multiple

The

解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句中的three events 以及画线词其后的内容“世界上很多地方不仅将会看到蓝月亮和超级月亮，还会看到月全食”可知画线词义为“三”，故选项C正确。

2．Why was the lunar eclipse on January 31 called a blue moon? A．Because it was also a blood moon.

B．Because it was the second full moon of January.

C．Because such phenomenon hasn't taken place since 2015. D．Because the moon had a blue-like color.

解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段的介绍可知这次天文现象被叫作蓝月亮，是因为它是一月份的第二次满月，而非是蓝色的月亮。故选项B正确。
