Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon” People use it to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries not to eat sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.
The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase “blue moon” has to do with the shape (形状) of the moon, not the color.
As the moon travels around the earth, it changes shapes. We name the moon with shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, we call it a new moon. When we can see the whole moon, we can call it a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second moon is called a “blue moon”.
Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is rare(稀有的). This fact has made people use the expression “once in a blue moon” to other very rare events in their lives.
( )4. Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase “once in a blue moon”.
A. Simon often tells jokes. He tells jokes once in a blue moon.
B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. He does exercise once in a blue moon.
C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. She goes shopping once in a blue moon.
D. Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day. She stays up once in a blue moon.
( )5. When does a blue moon happen in nature
A. When the moon has a blue moon. B. When we cannot see the moon at all.
C. When there are two full moons in one month. D. When we can only see a small part of the moon.
( )6. How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years
A. Once a year. B. Less than once a year.
C. More than once a year. D. At least twice a year.
( )7. What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to (所指)
A. A blue moon is a very rare event.
B. The moon appears to change shape.
C. The moon itself is never really blue.
D.A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.

Before I came to live here, I spent a lot of time at Wuthering Heights. My mother looked after Hindley Earnshaw, Hareton’s father. Hindley and I were the same age. His sister Catherine was eight years younger than us. One day old Mr. Earnshaw went to Liverpool on business. He was away for three days and when he came back, he brought a child with him. The child wasn’t very old, about Catherne’s age but he was dirty and dressed in rags(衣衫褴褛). They called him Heathcliff. Not long after that, Mrs. Earnshaw died, and the three children were left without a mother.
Catherine and Heathcliff became close friends, but Hindley always hated him. I must say, I didn’t like him much either. He was a strange child. He never complained or cried when Hindley hit him. Old Mr. Earnshaw was very angry when he discovered that his son was persecuting (迫害) the boy. Heathcliff was definitely his favorite.
I often wondered why Mr. Earnshaw ____ _____ him. Heathcliff never showed any signs of care for the old man or any signs of gratitude (感激) either. But the old man’s love gave him power over Hindley.
As Mr. Earnshaw got older and weaker, he became bad - tempered (脾气暴躁). Hindley often made him angry by saying nasty things about Heathcliff. Once or twice the old man lifted his stick to hit his son but he was too weak to do it. Then he shook with anger. In the end the local curate(助理牧师) advised him to send Hindley away to school. Mr. Earnshaw agreed but he was sad to see his son leave.
“Maybe we’ll have some peace now,” I thought.
Catherine was a very pretty girl with thick dark curls and dark eyes and a passionate (热情的) nature. She talked, sang and laughed from the moment she got up to the moment she went to bed. She liked to play the mistress (女主人) of the house, giving Hindley, Heathcliff and me orders When the boys didn’t obey her, she hit them. But I never let her hit me. She was crazy about Heathcliff. The worst punishment (惩罚) we could invent for her was to keep them separate.
Then one October evening, Mr. Earnshaw died quietly in his chair. Both Catherine and Heathcliff were very sad. They cried and cried. I didn’t have time to comfort them because I had to go to the village to get the doctor. When I came back, I went straight to their room. It was after midnight but they weren't asleep. They were comforting each other by describing all the beautiful things in heaven. Tears ran down my face as I listened to them.
( )8. Who brought Heathcliff to Wuthering Heights

A. Self-centred and envious. B. Kind and helpful.

A. hated B. admired C. left D. thanked
( )11. Which of the following statements about Heathcliff is NOT true
A. He was about eight years younger than Hindley and was about Catherine’s age.
B. He was easy to get angry and would fight back when treated badly.
C. He was not only Mr. Earnshaw’s favourite child but Catherine’s best friend.
D. He was poor and dirty when he was first brought to Wuthering Heights
( )12. From the passage, we can learn that _________.
A. Hindley hated the fact that his parents gave all their love to Catherine
B. the local curate sent Hindley away to school after Mr. Earnshaw died
C. Heathcliff's life at Wuthering Heights was full of love and peace
D. Catherine liked Heathcliff so much that she enjoyed staying with him
