There is a common expression in English language referring to a blue moon. When people say that something happens only once in blue moon,” they mean that it happens only very rarely, once in a great while. This expression has been around for at least a century and a half; there are references to this expression that date from the second half of the nineteenth century.The expression a blue moon has come to refer to the second full moon occurring in any given calendar month. A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is particularly blue or is any different in hue from the first full moon of the month. Instead, it is called a blue moon because it is so rare The moon needs a little more than 29 days to complete the cycle from full moon to full moon. Because every month except Febmary has more than 29 days, every month will have at least one full moon (except February, which will have a full moon unless there is a full moon at the very end of January and another full moon at the very beginning of March). It is or the occasion when a given calendar month has a second full moon that a blue moon occurs. This does not happen very often, only three or four times in a decade.The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not because of their colon however, the expression “blue moon” may have come into existence in reference to unusual circumstances in which the moon actually appeared blue. Certain natural phenomena of gigantic proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon from Earth. The eruption of the Krakatao volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the atmosphere, which clouded the sun and gave the moon a bluish tint. This particular occurrence of the blue moon may have given rise to the expression that we use today. Another example occurred more than a century later. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, the moon again took on a blue tint.The word “hue in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning toChọn một câu trả lời: a. date b. size c. color d. shapePhản hồiĐáp án đúng: colorvì: A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is particularly blue or is any different in hue from the first full moon of the month.Câu trả lời đúng là:Câu hỏi 2How many blue moons would there most likely be in a century?Chọn một câu trả lời: a. 100 b. 70 c. 4 d. 35 Phản hồiĐáp án đúng: 35vì:This does not happen very often, only three or four times in a decade.Câu trả lời đúng là:Which of the following might be the date of a “blue moon?Chọn một câu trả lời: a.

it is not aggressive by nature However, after a disturbed bee stings and flies away, it leaves its stinger embedded in the victim In the vicera attached to the embedded stinger is the chemical isoamyl acetate, which has an odor that attracts other bees As other bees approach the victim of the original sting, the victim tends to panic, thus disturbing other bees and causing them to sting The new sting create more of the chemical isoamyl acetate, which attracts more bees and increases the panic level of the victim Killer bees tend to travel in large cluster or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the production of isoamyl acetate It is stated in the passage that killer bees Chọn câu trả lời: a never attack animals b are more deadly than African bees c are less aggressive than African bees d always attack African bees Phản hồi Đáp án đúng: are less aggressive than African bees vì: The African bees were brought into Brazil because their aggression was considered an advantage: they were far more productive than their European counterparts It can be inferred from the passage that the killer bee Chọn câu trả lời: a was a predecessor of the African bee b was carried from Africa to Brazil in 1955 c traveled from Brazil to Africa in 1955 d did not exist early in the twentieth century Phản hồi Đáp án đúng: did not exist early in the twentieth century vì: The killer bee is a hybrid—or combination- of the very mild European strain of honeybee and the considerably more aggressive African bee, which was created when African strain was imported into Brazil in 1955 The main idea of this passage is that killer bees Chọn câu trả lời: a are a hybrid rather than a pure breed b have been moving unexpectedly rapidly through the Americas c are not as aggressive as their reputation suggests d have been in the news a lot recently Phản hồi Đáp án đúng: are not as aggressive as their reputation suggests vì: Killer bees are reputed to be extremely aggressive in nature, although experts say that their aggression may have been somewhat inflated A “hybrid" in paragraph is Chọn câu trả lời: a a predecessor b an enemy c a mixture d a relative Phản hồi Đáp án đúng: a mixture vì: a mixture= combination The word “inflated” in paragraph could best be replaced by Chọn câu trả lời: a blown b aired c exaggerated d burst Phản hồi Đáp án đúng: exaggerated vì: it is the most suitable answer The pronoun "They" in paragraph refers to Chọn câu trả lời: a experts b humans and animals c killer bees d fatalities Phản hồi Đáp án đúng: experts vì: Experts point out, however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee is actually not at all as aggressive as the pure African bee They also point out that the attacks have a chemical cause Why were African bees considered beneficial?
