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 (避免) eating 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 blue 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 of the moon, not the color. As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate (联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon(新月). A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail (手指尖). When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon, it is called 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 full 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 a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression "once in a blue moon" to describe other very rare events in their lives.
56. You can most probably read the passage in __________.
A. a science book.
B. a story book
C. a history book
57. 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. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.
C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon.
58. When does a blue moon happen in nature?
A. When the moon has a blue moon.
B. When we can only see a small part of the moon.
C. When there are two full moons in one month.
59. How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years?
A. Once a year
B. Less than once a year
C. At least twice a year
60. 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.
第三节阅读表达（共5小题，计10分）
Here are some American classroom customs:
If the teacher asks a question, you are expected to give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you do not know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you do not know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.
There is no excuse(借口) for not doing your homework. If you are absent(缺席), you should call your teacher or someone who is in your class and ask for the assignment(作业). It is your responsibility (责任) to find out what assignments you have missed. It is not the teach er’s responsibility to remind（提醒) you of missed assignments.
You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you should take the test within one or two days after returning to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.
Be on time! It is considered rude to be late. Also, it disturbs other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. In the U. S. it is not necessary to knock(敲门) before you enter the classroom. If you must leave during class, do so quietly. There is no need to ask the teacher's permission(允许), entering a teacher's office or any office with a closed door without knocking first is not acceptable. Knock first, and then wait to be invited in.
Wearing a hat in class is considered impolite by many teachers. Some teachers may ignore(忽略)it, but you should ask permission first.
61. What should a student do if he or she doesn't understand the teacher's question?

62. If a student misses a class, how can he or she find out the assignment?

Reading an English newspaper is a good way to improve a student's language ability. As there are many useful and common words in an English newspaper, it may help students increase their vocabulary as well as improve their reading skills. 66. 他们可以从报纸上学到新的知识。But what is the proper way to read an English newspaper? Do students need to look over all the content (内容) of the newspaper?
The first step is to choose a right newspaper with good language. Then turn to the front page and read the headlines (标题) to know what has happened. As the most important things are put on the front page, 67. it's easy to find out what you're interested in and then turn to the page to read it complete. There is no need to go through all the articles(文章).
68. 第二，每天读报纸。Remember words through context (上下文), in which these words may appear repeatedly(重复地). 69. Once they appear several times, you will remember them easily. Don't look up every unknown word in your dictionary. You can try to guess the meaning between sentences. If your guess is wrong, don’t give up. Keep reading, and you will become familiar with the words after reading them several times in different texts.
70. Reading English newspaper makes us know what is happening in the world. At the same time, it also helps us improve our language.
