How do you show your strong love for someone by using English Do you always say, “I love you very much” There is another way to describe the feeling — I love you to the moon and back. The earth and the moon are about 384,000 kilometers apart. That’s to say, it’s about 768,000 kilometers to the moon and back. So the expression (表达) is to say that your love is like this long trip. The expression is from Guess How Much I Love You, a 2008 children’s book by Sam McBratney. Parents often use this expression to tell their children how much they love them.
Another interesting expression about the moon is “moonshine”. If someone says “That’s just moonshine”, it means that he thinks the other person’s ideas or words are not real or silly.
Do you know about “blue moon” A “blue moon” isn’t really blue. It’s the name for a second full moon in one month, or the third full moon in a season (季) that has four full moons. The “blue moon” happens rarely (罕有) — about once every 2.7 years! So sometimes, we may hear the expression “once in a blue moon”. It means that something doesn’t happen very often.
As the largest and brightest (最明亮的) thing in the night sky, it’s no surprise that the moon appears in many English expressions. The next time you see the moon, you might think about these fun expressions!
( )49. What do we know about the expression “to the moon and back” from Paragraph 1
A. It is a way to show strong love. B. It is the name of a famous book.
C. It shows how fast people can travel.
( )50. The underlined word “moonshine” means “_______”.
A. a real idea B. a bright moon C. something silly
( )51. In which book can we probably find the passage
A. B. C.
C
“OK. Now it’s time for art class,” bs says.
“I hate drawing,” Kiyo says to a classmate. “ I have no talent for drawing. My pictures look as if a baby drew them!”
Like Kiyo, do you dislike drawing Most often, people don’t like to draw because their pictures aren’t realistic (逼真的). There’s a reason you might find it hard to draw realistically. Like many people, you probably draw things the way you think they look. You see people’s eyes all the time, so you might think you know in your mind what eyes look like. But minds don’t remember all the details (细节). For example, picture in your mind what an eye looks like. Do you picture it as being a simple oval (椭圆形的) shape Now look at someone’s eyes. Real eyes are far more complicated.
Artists have a way to draw realistically. They don’t depend on their minds to know how things look. They use their eyes to see how things look. Artists know that the art of drawing is the art of seeing.
When an artist is drawing a person, she has the person or a photo of the person in front of her. She observes (观察) the size and shape of his eyes. She compares the angle (角度) of his neck to his shoulder. She also sees where his hands are and how they look. The artist looks at each detail, and then draws the person.
( )52. What do we know about Kiyo
A. His pictures don’t look like real things.
B. His drawings don’t have bright colors.
C. He often practices drawing.
( )53. Why do most people find it difficult to draw realistically
A. Because they draw things that have simple shapes.
B. Because they don’t have the right tools for drawing.
C. Because they draw things the way they think they look.
( )54. How do artists draw realistically
A. They use their talents. B. They depend on their minds.
C. They use their eyes to observe.
( )55. What is the role of the last paragraph
A. To give an example of how artists draw realistically.
B. To give reasons why artists can draw realistically.
C. To advise people to learn to draw from an artist.
