21、Imagine this scene. You wake up in the middle of the night and see moonlight shining through your window. You get up to look outside and see the moon in the night sky, but it looks different. It’s the biggest moon you’ve ever seen. It’s a supermoon!

“A supermoon is a full moon where the moon is just a little bit closer to the earth than usual, so it looks a little bit bigger and a little bit brighter,” Michael Brown, an astronomer (天文学家) at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, told the Guardian.

A supermoon is a kind of new or full moon that is in the closest point in its orbit (轨道) to the earth. An astrologer (占星家) named Richard Nolle came up with this.

Supermoons are special because they only happen a few times a year. Out of the 13 or 14 new or full moons all year round, only three or four of them are supermoons. Not only that, but supermoons look bigger and brighter than a full moon.

Even though this difference may not be that dramatic (引人注目的) to some viewers (观察者) on the earth, it is a huge event for astronomers. “It’s just kind of a fun astronomical thing.” Michelle Thaller, an astronomer, told Space, com. “Sometimes it just knocks my socks off to see a full moon rising in the sky.”

The most recent supermoon event happened on May 26, 2021. This supermoon was about 357,311 kilometers from the earth. That’s about 117, 689 kilometers closer than usual!

【1】You can probably see the passage in __________.

A．a story book

B．a science magazine

C．an advertisement

D．a survey report

【2】A supermoon looks a little bit bigger and brighter because __________.

A．it is a bit closer to the earth than usual

B．it looks very different from the earth

C．it is a kind of new and full moon

D．it only happens a few times a year

【3】According to the passage, we can know that _________.

A．a full moon must be the biggest moon you have ever seen

B．a special supermoon can move around the earth in its orbit

C．we can see fewer supermoons than full moons in a year

D．the next supermoon must happen on May 26, 2022

【4】The underlined word “knocks my socks off” probably means _________.

A．使我叹为观止

B．让我脱掉袜子

C．被我深深感动

D．跟我撞个满怀

22、   Almost every Chinese person can recite (背诵) the two lines of the famous poem. “ Every grain on the plate comes from hard work.” But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of the lines: Don’t waste food.

A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Absolutely not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2011, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.
