19．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 its shape.We associate（联系）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.A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail.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 are 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 held people to use the expression "once in a blue moon" to describe other very rare events in their lives.

（1）Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase "once in a blue moon"？ 　 　

A.Simon often tells jokes.Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.

B.Tom rarely remembers to do exercise.Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.

C.Mary like to go shopping every weekend.Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon.

D.Cindy hates to stay up，but she stays up every day.Cindy stays up once in a blue moon.

（2）When does a blue moon happen in nature？ 　 　

A.When the moon has a blue color.

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.

（3）Which of the following is another example of something that has a crescent？ 　 　

A.The letter "O".

B.The letter "M".

C.The letter "H".

D.The letter "C".

（4）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.

（5）What does the underlined part "This fact" in the last paragraph refer to？ 　 　

A.A blue moon is a very rare event.

B.The moon appears to change its shape.

C.The moon itself is never really blue.

D.A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.

20．"Life is speeding up.Everyone is getting unwell."

    This may sound like something someone would say today.But in fact，an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.

    We all love new inventions.They are exciting，amazing and can even change our lives.But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives？

    Picture this.You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer.Your mobile phone rings，a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen，and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder.Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work.Now you have to stay up all night to get it done.How do you feel？

    Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired.

    Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities，who have no telephones，no cars，even no electricity often seem to be happier？Perhaps because they live simpler lives.

    One family in the UK went "black in time" to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today.The grandparents，with their daughters，and grandsons Benjamin，10 and Thomas，7，spent nice weeks in a 1940s house.They had no washing machine，microwave，computer or mobile phone.

    The grandmother，Lyn，said， "The more things you have，the more difficult life becomes." The boys said they fought less.Probably，they said it was because there was less to fight over，such as their computer.Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a "trendy，beer﹣drinking granny"，to one who cooked things.

（1）The writer uses the quote （引用） at the beginning of the story to  　 　.

A.tell us a truth about our lives

B.tell us what life was like a long time ago

C.point out what causes such a thing to happen

D.point out some problems we will meet in the life

（2）In the passage the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions  　 　.

A.have speeded up our lives

B.have improved the quality of our lives

C.may make people feel very happy

D.may bring people some trouble

（3）The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because  　 　.

A.they loved to live simple lives

B.they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions

C.they were troubled by modern inventions

D.living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them

（4）According to the passage，which is NOT right？ 　 　

A.People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happier.

B.An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better.

C.The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house.

D.With the improvement of our lives，we often feel stressed and tired.

（5）The passage is mainly about  　 　.

A.problems with technology

B.improvements of our lives with technology

C.changes happening to technology

D.the importance of technology

21．On June 2，1886，a German captain threw a message in a bottle into the water while his ship crossed the Indian Ocean.Around 132 years later in January，the bottle was found on the Australian coast.（1）　 　

    The bottle was thrown into the water to track ocean currents （洋流）.Between 1864 and 1933，German sailors threw thousands of bottles into the sea.（2）　 　

    But throwing messages in bottles into the ocean is not just for scientists.People send out such messages for many reasons.Some people write information about themselves in the hope of finding a pen pal.（3）　 　And still other people just write down some jokes，song lyrics or anything else they think might be fun.

    There are even online messages in bottles.People can send the message through WeChat or QQ.

    The reasons and ways might be different，but the goal is always the same：to reach out and try to connect with someone.（4）　 　 In 1988，the British band The Police wrote a song called "Message in a Bottle" that described this feeling.

    As the song's lyrics say，we are "a hundred billion castaways （被抛弃者） looking for a home".When will you feel relived （释然的）？A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore.（5）
