Directions (Qs. 15 to 21): Read the passage andanswer the following questions. Have you ever heard someone usethe phrase "once in a blue moon?" People use this expression todescribe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone mightsay that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but willeat chocolate "once in a blue moon" or someone who does not usuallylike 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 thatthe 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 thecolour.As the moon travels around theearth, it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certainshapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it iscalled a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of afingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. Whenwe can see the entire moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is onlyone full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons inone month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a "bluemoon."Over the next 20 years, there willonly be 15 blue moons.As you can see, a blue moon is avery rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression "once in ablue moon" to describe other very rare events in their lives. In the final paragraph, the author states: "Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons." This means that over the next 20 years, 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 |
| Answer» C. more than once a year | |

If you think a taxidermist has anything to do with driving a taxi then you will learn something new by the end of this passage. A taxidermist is a person whose job is to preserve dead animals and show them as they looked when they were alive. The word taxidermy comes from two Greek words meaning arrangement and skin. A taxidermist first takes exact measurements of the body of the dead animal. He/She then carefully removes and cleans the skin with a preservative or a special soap. The taxidermist then makes a drawing of the animal?s body structure, including its muscles and bones. This is done so that by looking at the drawing he/she makes a skeleton frame of the animal out of metal or wood. Or he/she may use the real skeleton of the animal if it is available. To this skeleton, the taxidermist adds clay and completes the animal's shape to make a mould. Once the shape is ready, it is used to make casting from the mould. Finally, the skin of the animal is glued and sewed on to the casting or sculpture of the animal. To become a taxidermist, a person needs to be proficient at natural history, drawing, sculpture, mechanics and dyeing. The term taxidermist come from two Greek words: |
| A. | Arrangement and skin |
| B. | Skin and hair |
| C. | Hair and eyes |
| D. | All the above |
| E. | None of these |
| Answer» B. Skin and hair | |
