Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year's Eve. Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a so-called blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don't   1   it to be blue - the name has nothing to   2   the color of our closest celestial（天體） neighbor.

A full moon   3   on December 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown.

"If you're in Times Square, you'll see the   4   moon right above you. It's going to be that brilliant," said Jack Horkheimer, director emeritus of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium and host of a weekly astronomy TV show.

The New Year's Eve blue moon will be   5   in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Africa. For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up  6   New Year's Day, making January a blue moon month for them.

However, the Eastern Hemisphere can celebrate with a partial lunar eclipse（月蝕） on New Year's Eve when  7   of the moon enters the Earth's shadow. The   8   will not be visible in the Americas.

A full moon occurs   9   29.5 days, and most years have 12.  10  , an extra full moon in a month - a blue moon - occurs every 2.5 years. The   11   time there was a lunar double take was in May 2007. New Year's Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years. The last time was in 1990; the next one won't   12    again until 2028.

Blue moons have no astronomical   13   , said Greg Laughlin, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

"`Blue moon' is just a   14   in the same sense as a `hunter's moon' or a `harvest moon,'" Laughlin said in an e-mail.

The popular definition of blue moon   15   after a writer for Sky & Telescope magazine in 1946 misunderstood the Maine Farmer's Calendar and marked a blue moon as the second full moon in a month. In fact, the calendar   16   a blue moon as the third full moon in a season with four full moons, not the usual three.

Though Sky & Telescope corrected the  17   decades later, the definition caught on. For purists（語言純正癖者）, however, this New Year's Eve full moon doesn't even qualify as a   18   moon. It's just the first full moon of the winter season.

In a tongue-in-cheek essay   19   on the magazine's Web site this week, senior contributing editor Kelly Beatty wrote: "If skies are clear when I'm    20  celebrating, I'll take a peek（瞇著眼睛看） at that brilliant orb（天體） as it rises over the Boston skyline to see if it's an icy shade of blue. Or maybe I'll just howl."

1. D 考查動詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。聯(lián)系上下文的語境，及日常生活中的常識（月亮怎么著都不會是藍(lán)的），我們?nèi)菀淄评沓鲞@一句的語境是：別期望月亮是藍(lán)的，這個(gè)名字跟月球的顏色一點(diǎn)關(guān)系也沒有。我們不難看出此處應(yīng)該填上表示期望之意的動詞，也即是D項(xiàng)，而其余ABC項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：但愿，等待，希望，具有很大的迷惑性的AC兩項(xiàng)，其中A項(xiàng)的不符合此處的上下文之間語言邏輯，C項(xiàng)中的hope其后不跟復(fù)合賓語結(jié)構(gòu)，故我們選擇A項(xiàng)為最佳答案。

2. B考查動詞短語的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。由上一題的分析我們不難看出此處應(yīng)該填上表示和……有聯(lián)系之意的動詞詞組， 而have nothing to do with……就是這樣的意思，也即是B項(xiàng)，而其余ACD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：處理，隨著……發(fā)展，形成，這些詞語所表示的意思都和這兒的語言邏輯不相契合，故我們選擇B項(xiàng)為最佳答案。

3. A 考查動詞的含義辨析及準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。聯(lián)系上下文的語境，及日常生活中的常識， 經(jīng)過分析，語意是：12月2日發(fā)生圓月，此處應(yīng)該填上表示出現(xiàn)、發(fā)生之意的動詞，這四個(gè)詞中只有A項(xiàng)有這樣的意思。其余BCD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：來，跑，去，很明顯放在這兒都不能使句意通順，故我們選擇A項(xiàng)為最佳答案。

6. A 檢測連詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。經(jīng)過分析，語意是：對于澳大利亞和亞洲的觀看者來說，這輪圓月一直到新年那一天才能出現(xiàn)。我們?nèi)菀淄评沓龃颂帒?yīng)該填上表示直到之意的連詞，這四個(gè)詞中只有A項(xiàng)（until）有這樣的意思，而其余BCD三項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：當(dāng)……的時(shí)候，在……之前，自從…….開始，它們都不和not搭配，也構(gòu)不成直到…..才之意，這些詞語所表示的意思都和這兒的語言邏輯不相契合，故我們選擇A項(xiàng)為最佳答案。

17. A 由上一題的分析，聯(lián)系上下文的語境，我們?nèi)菀淄评沓鲞@一句的語境是：雖然這家雜志多年之后更正了這個(gè)錯誤，但是這個(gè)名稱繼續(xù)使用。不難斷定此處應(yīng)該填上表示錯誤之意的名詞，也即是A項(xiàng)，而其余BCD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：名稱，現(xiàn)實(shí)，數(shù)字，這些詞語所表示的意思都和這兒的語言邏輯不相契合，語意也不順暢，故我們選擇A項(xiàng)為最佳答案。

18. A 檢測形容詞的含義的準(zhǔn)確記憶與理解及聯(lián)系上下文能力。經(jīng)過分析，語意是：對于偏愛語言純正的人來說，新年前夕的圓月不配藍(lán)月亮這個(gè)名字，只是冬季的第一次圓月而已。再說全文都是在論述藍(lán)月亮，我們?nèi)菀淄评沓龃颂帒?yīng)該填上表示藍(lán)之意的形容詞，也即是A項(xiàng)，而其余BCD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：紅，黃，灰，很明顯放在這兒都不合適，故D項(xiàng)最佳。

19. B 考查動詞短語的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。經(jīng)過分析，語意是：在一篇發(fā)布在這家雜志網(wǎng)站上的小笑話里，高級編輯Kelly Beatty寫道：如果天空晴朗，當(dāng)我出門慶祝的時(shí)候，我會瞇著眼看看這個(gè)天體從波士頓的地平線升起，來弄清楚它是否藍(lán)色的，或者我會大笑。因此，此處應(yīng)該填上表示發(fā)布（在網(wǎng)上而不是雜志上）之意的動詞，那就是B項(xiàng)posted，其余ABD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：出版，印刷，寫，這些意思在這兒都不符合此處的上下文之間語言邏輯，故B項(xiàng)為準(zhǔn)確答案。

20. B 檢測副詞的含義的準(zhǔn)確記憶與理解。由上一題的分析我們不難看出此處應(yīng)該填上表示在外面之意的副詞，ACD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：里面，遠(yuǎn)處，上面，很明顯放在這兒都不合適，故B項(xiàng)最佳。

請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。



When it comes to studying, some students may have
different study habits, and some ways of studying may work for one and may not
for another student. However, there are certain basic rules that can prove to
be effective(有效的) in studying for an exam.



Make a plan for how to develop good study habits that
last long. A plan should include a schedule(時(shí)間表) on when
to study. It doesn’t have to be fixed(固定) and can be
changed in case something more important and unexpected comes up. Start with a
weekly schedule and determine which period of the day is filled with classes.
Use some of the remaining time to study. When creating（制定） the schedule, one should include laboratory
activities and extracurricular(課外的) work and take care of
personal things and the job if there is one.



Study when one is fully awake and energetic（精力充沛）; it is recommended. Study for no less than 30 to 90minutes
after a meal or two hours every day. If one is tired from work and decides to
study, it may not be effective, especially if one finds the subject too
difficult. It will only give stress and that night might only be forgotten in
the next morning when he wakes up. For some students, they can study anywhere
if they want; it could be in the library, study rooms or private rooms. A place
where one can to focus attention on one’s study is recommended.



Make friends with those that are also eager to learn
and pass the exam or achieve good grades. However, one has to balance（平衡） the time to spend with friends. Have and keep a
healthy relationship with them.



Take down notes during the class. The hints(暗示) of some questions teachers give will come out in the
exam. Sometimes they repeat the topic more than twice, so pay more attention in
class. If one does not understand the topic, don’t hesitate(猶豫) to ask questions. A failure in communicating is one
of the most common mistakes among students.



Rewrite notes taken from the class. It will help
remember the topics that have been discussed and will give one more new ideas.
For some students, they find that rewriting notes is very effective.



Take a five-minute break or go out and get some fresh
air once in a while when studying. It will relax the mind and help one think
better. Do come back to study after taking a short break.

If you find that your teacher is unfair to you, think
about what is happening. Try to find out whether your teacher really dislikes
you, or whether something else is going on. Here are some questions to ask
yourself:



1.  Ask your classmates if they are
having trouble with the teacher, too. If they say yes, perhaps your teacher is
to blame.



Are you working up to your ability? Maybe you got a C
in your last test, and your teacher told you that you could do better. And the
kid sitting beside you got a C, too.2.  Isn’t this unfair?
Well, it could be that your teacher knows that you could do better if you put
more effort into it.  3.



4. There’s nothing wrong with being
sensitive (敏感的) ，but if you
react to criticism quite differently from others, this could be a reason why
you think your teacher doesn’t like you.



Does your teacher seem to act unfairly all the time,
or just once in a while? Think about the harsh (苛刻的)
things your teacher has done to you. Are these things happening every day, or
just once or twice a month? If your teacher really hates you, you would probably
be picked on all the time.5. 



A．Are you the
only person being treated badly, or is your teacher rough on the whole class?



B．Are you
getting along well with your classmates?



C． Are you more
sensitive than other students?



D． Are you
interested in your lessons?



E . If your teacher has acted unfairly only a few
times, then there’s probably something else going on.



F．Teachers often grade
students by different standards.



G．But the teacher didn’t
say anything to him！

of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can
hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music
loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just
hear a loud sound. Not one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be
bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player,
you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.



Take Them Off! You need to know when to
turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3
players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it
would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense
to listen your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a
movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would
wonder why you even came.



Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay
just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your
MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one
earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening.
You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you
answer the telephone.



It’s Your Choice! There are times when you
need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on
their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In
cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
