C. READING (3.0/10)

I. Read the following passage then choose the best option to each question.

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
eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who
doesn’t 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 that the moon
itself is never actually blue. This is just an expression. The phrase “blue moon” actually 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 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. A crescent is a shape that looks like a tip of a fingernail. When we
cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the entire 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.

41. Which would be a good example of someone doing something “once in a blue moon”?

A. Mary likes to go to the mountains every weekend. B. Tom rarely remembers to take out the trash.

C. Cindy hates washing the dishes. D. Mary sometimes forgets to do homework.

42. When does a blue moon happen in nature?

A. When there are two full moons in a month. B. When the moon has blue color.

383

C. When we can only see a small part of the moon. D. When we cannot see the moon at all.

43. According to the passage, it can be understood that which of the following sentences does not contain

the expression?

A. Thomas has lost his mind B. An apple a day keeps the doctor away

C. I’ll mow the grass after I finish my homework. D. It’s never bad time to start something new

44. According to the passage, what is another example of something that has crescent shape?

A. your thumb B. a distant star C. the letter “C” D. the letter “H”

45. The author states that “Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons.” This means that
over the next 20 year, a blue moon will happen ……

A. once a year B. less than once a year

C. more than once a year D. Not enough information is provided

II. Read then answer the questions.

Colds and flu are caused by viruses. The infections are contagious, passed on by tiny droplets and hand
contact. There are hundreds of different types of virus that can cause cold, which explains why children
get repeated colds. Flu is caused by the influenza virus. There are three major types: A (often the cause of
flu epidemics), B and C. The flu virus is constantly changing its structure, so new strains appear each year.
We don’t have immunity to the new strains, which is why we can catch flu repeatedly. Anyone can catch a
cold or flu. The peak season for colds is the colder winter months, not only because of the weather but
because central heating dries out the normally moist nasal mucosa-an important defense against
invading viruses. However, you can catch a cold at any time of the year; one particular type of cold virus
thrives in the summer. Flu rarely occurs outside November to February in the UK. A cold causes a stuffy
or runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, mild fever and tiredness, lasting from two to four days. Flu is
more severe with a high fever (usually 39oC or above), chills, headache, intense muscle pains, exhaustion,

loss of appetites, cough and sometimes a blocked nose and sore throat. It may last a week or more and
possible complications include pneumonia. Most cold don’t last long and need no specific treatment other
than painkillers and simple measures such as decongestant rubs or vaporizers. Antibiotics are of no
benefit. Zinc supplements may help to settle a cold more quickly. Children with flu can be given similar
treatments, with lots of rest, medicine to bring down any fever and plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
Lowering the temperature in the room can also be helpful when someone has a fever. Specific antiviral
treatments for flu are now available, but generally these are only given to those at high risk of flu
complications.

quite a lot. The magnificent landscape of Scotland, the beauty of the London Tower, the magic of old wine

F. Starting from historical legacies to the romantic canals of Venice, the exotic sight of the Piazzas to
oriental climate, exquisite cuisine to the dramatic coastline, Italy has a lot to offer, and undoubtedly it is
one of the most romantic destinations in the world. Besides Venice, Rome and Florence are also world’s
popular hit destinations for tourism

G. China has emerged as one of the most prominent economies in the world. It’s the largest exporter and
the second largest importer. Its important role in the trade and business and influential economic role in
the global economy has made its global relations better. Moreover, after opening its gate for tourism, it
quickly received a havoc response.

H. Considered to be the major trade and business hub for its former colony Latin America, Spain already
attracts a lot of tourists from Latin America. Besides, owing to the country’s unique geographical
advantage of boasting both the coastal lime of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the country
attracts millions of tourists.
