英语时文阅读:令人惊叹的月全食4种题型(备战2026年高考)
9月8日晚,一场令人惊叹的月全食在全国范围内可见,吸引了数百万观察者。这是近三年来首次全国都能观测到完整的月全食。月全食持续约83分钟,最精彩的阶段发生在周一凌晨1:30至2:53之间,此时月亮变成了深红色。
第一题 阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
On the night of September 8th, a stunning total lunar eclipse was visible throughout China, captivating millions of observers. This was the first time in nearly three years that such an event could be seen in its entirety across the country. Lasting for about 83 minutes, the most impressive phase occurred between 1:30 am and 2:53 am on Monday, when the moon turned a deep reddishcopper color.
According to astronomers from the Purple Mountain Observatory, this phenomenon—commonly referred to as a "blood moon"—occurs because of the way Earth’s atmosphere scatters and refracts sunlight. Even when the Earth blocks direct sunlight from reaching the moon, some longerwavelength red light is bent around the planet and illuminates the lunar surface, creating an eerie yet beautiful glow.
The event sparked widespread excitement on social media, where users shared photos and comments expressing their amazement. Many astronomy clubs, schools, and planetariums—including the Shanghai Astronomy Museum and the Beijing Planetarium—organized live streams and viewing activities, with experts providing commentary to enhance public understanding. Some schools in Beijing even arranged for students to gather on campus to watch the eclipse together.
In addition to the red moon, skywatchers were also treated to another rare sight: the planet Saturn appearing just above and to the left of the moon, adding another layer of wonder to the experience.
The last total lunar eclipse visible in China occurred in November 2022, though only central and eastern regions had a clear view. Astronomers predict that the next lunar eclipse visible in China will take place on March 3 next year, although the moon will already be partially eclipsed as it rises. Those hoping to see another full lunar eclipse from start to finish will have to wait until New Year’s Eve of 2028.
This extraordinary celestial event not only offered a breathtaking visual experience, but also provided a valuable opportunity for students and the public to learn more about astronomy.

第一题 阅读理解
1. 答案:B
解析:根据短文第一段“Lasting for about 83 minutes, the most impressive phase occurred between 1:30 am and 2:53 am on Monday”可知,月食最精彩的阶段从凌晨1点30分到2点53分,持续了1小时23分钟,超过了1小时,B选项正确。A选项错误,因为文中提到“visible throughout China”,并非仅在中部和东部可见;C选项错误,文中说“the first time in nearly three years”,是“近三年”而非“三年”;D选项错误,月食高峰时月亮是深红色而非亮金色。
2. 答案:B
解析:由第二段“this phenomenon—commonly referred to as a 'blood moon'—occurs because of the way Earth’s atmosphere scatters and refracts sunlight. Even when the Earth blocks direct sunlight from reaching the moon, some longerwavelength red light is bent around the planet and illuminates the lunar surface”可知,“血月”现象的产生是因为地球大气层将红色长波阳光折射到月球表面,B选项正确。A选项“月球自身发光”、C选项“土星反射红光”、D选项“阳光直射月球无遮挡”均与原文不符。
3. 答案:A
解析:根据第三段“Some schools in Beijing even arranged for students to gather on campus to watch the eclipse together”可知,北京部分学校安排学生在校园一起观看月食,A选项正确。B选项“举办线上天文讲座”、C选项“邀请专家制作纪录片”、D选项“让学生在社交媒体分享照片”在文中均未提及。
4. 答案:D
解析:由第五段“Those hoping to see another full lunar eclipse from start to finish will have to wait until New Year’s Eve of 2028”可知,想在中国看到完整的月食需要等到2028年新年前夜,D选项正确。A选项是本次月食时间,B选项是2022年的月食时间,C选项明年3月3日的月食是部分可见,均不符合题意。
第二题 七选五
1. 答案:B
解析:前文提到9月8日对中国的天空爱好者是难忘的一夜,后文说这是全国人民见证这一自然事件的罕见机会,B选项“当晚的月全食在全中国都能看到”衔接上下文,符合逻辑。
2. 答案:C
解析:后文提到“During that period”,说明前文应提到某个时间段,C选项“月食最精彩的部分在凌晨1点30分到2点53分之间”引出后文关于该时间段月球颜色变化的内容,衔接紧密。
3. 答案:G
解析:后文是天文学家对月球变红原因的解释,G选项“你知道月全食时月亮为什么会变红吗”以问句形式引出下文的解释,符合语境。
4. 答案:A
解析:前文说社交媒体上满是关于月食的帖子,A选项“人们分享照片,谈论月食有多神奇”具体说明帖子内容,与前文衔接自然。
5. 答案:F
解析:前文提到土星的出现让夜晚更特别,F选项“它出现在月球的左上方”补充说明土星的位置,使内容更完整。
第三题 完形填空
1. B. entirety
解析:原文明确提到“this was the first time in nearly three years that such an event could be seen in its entirety across the country”,“in its entirety”表示“完整地”,与后文“from start to finish”(从头到尾)呼应。A“部分”、C“轮流”、D“时间”均不符合“完整观测”的语境。
2. A. happened
解析:此处描述月食“最壮观的阶段发生在周一凌晨1点30分到2点53分之间”,“happened”(发生)符合“事件出现的时间”这一逻辑。B“变化”、C“结束”、D“暂停”均与后文“月亮变成深红色”的过程不匹配。
3. A. referred
解析:固定搭配“referred to as”表示“被称为”,原文提到这一现象通常被叫做“血月”,符合搭配和语义。B“添加”(added to)、C“对比”(compared to)、D“连接”(linked to)均无法表达“被称作”的含义。
4. B. hitting
解析:句意为“当地球阻挡直射阳光照射到月球时”,“hitting”(撞击、照射到)能准确体现阳光“到达月球表面”的动作。A“离开”、C“环绕”、D“经过”均不符合“阳光与月球接触”的逻辑。
5. C. glow
解析:原文明确提到“creating an eerie yet beautiful glow”(形成一种诡异却美丽的光晕),“glow”(光晕)是地球大气折射红光后在月球表面形成的视觉效果。A“声音”、B“形状”、D“影子”均与“红光照射”的现象无关。
6. C. amazement
解析:前文提到“事件在社交媒体引发广泛兴奋”,用户分享照片和评论应是表达“惊叹”,原文也有“expressing their amazement”的表述。A“恐惧”、B“怀疑”、D“耐心”均与“兴奋”的情感基调矛盾。
7. B. commentary
解析:原文指出“专家提供解说以增进公众理解”,“commentary”(解说、评论)符合“专家为活动提供专业讲解”的语境。A“食物”、C“设备”、D“礼物”均与“增进理解”的目的无关。
8. D. together
解析:句意为“北京部分学校甚至安排学生在校园集合,一起观测月食”,“together”(一起)与“gather”(集合)语义一致。A“独自”、B“秘密地”、C“分别地”均与“集合”的动作矛盾。
9. A. treated
解析:固定搭配“be treated to”表示“有幸看到、享受到”,原文提到观星者还有幸看到土星这一罕见景象,符合搭配和语义。B“命令”、C“引导”、D“强迫”均不符合“幸运观测”的语境。
10. A. wonder
解析:土星的出现为观测体验“增添了一层奇妙感”,“wonder”(奇妙、惊叹)与前文“stunning”(壮观的)、“beautiful”(美丽的)等积极描述一致。B“压力”、C“困惑”、D“悲伤”均与“罕见美景”的情感不符。
11. B. clear
解析:句中“though”(尽管)表转折,前文说2022年11月的月食在中国可见,转折后强调“只有中东部地区能清晰观测”,“clear”(清晰的)符合“观测效果”的描述。A“模糊的”、C“遥远的”、D“近的”均无法体现“观测清晰度”的对比。
12. C. rises
解析:原文提到“明年3月3日的月食,月亮升起时就已处于部分食相”,“rises”(升起)与“as it rises”(当它升起时)的时间逻辑一致。A“落下”、B“发光”、D“褪色”均不符合“月食发生时月亮的状态”。
13. A. wait
解析:后文“until New Year’s Eve of 2028”(直到2028年新年前夜)表示时间,因此需要“等待”,“wait until”是固定搭配,符合“等待下一次完整月食”的语境。B“寻找”、C“询问”、D“工作”均与“时间等待”无关。
14. B. opportunity
解析:原文提到这一天文事件“为学生和公众提供了了解天文学的宝贵机会”,“opportunity”(机会)符合“提供学习契机”的语义。A“挑战”、C“问题”、D“规则”均与“学习”的积极目的矛盾。
15. D. astronomy
解析:全文围绕“月食”这一天文现象展开,因此学习的内容是“天文学”,原文也明确提到“learn more about astronomy”。A“地理”、B“生物”、C“化学”均与“天文现象”无关。
第四题 语法填空
1 when 此处考查定语从句引导词。先行词是“between 1:30 am and 2:53 am on Monday”,表示时间,且从句“the moon turned a deep reddish-copper color”结构完整,缺少时间状语,故用关系副词when引导定语从句,在句中作时间状语。
2 scatters 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句子描述的是客观规律(地球大气层散射和折射阳光的方式),应用一般现在时。主语“Earth’s atmosphere”是不可数名词,视为单数,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式,故填scatters。
3 creating 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构,主句“some longer-wavelength red light is bent...and illuminates the lunar surface”已有谓语动词,此处需用非谓语动词作结果状语。“create”与前文整个句子所描述的情况(红光被弯折照亮月球表面)之间是主动关系,故用现在分词creating,表示自然而然的结果。
4 excitement 考查词性转换。“widespread”(广泛的)是形容词,后需接名词作宾语。“excite”是动词,其名词形式为excitement,且excitement为不可数名词,无复数变化,故填excitement。
5 activities 考查名词复数。“activity”(活动)是可数名词,前文提到“Many astronomy clubs, schools, and planetariums”(许多天文俱乐部、学校和天文馆),结合语境可知这些机构组织的活动不止一个,故需用复数形式activities。
6 to enhance 考查非谓语动词。分析语境,“experts providing commentary”(专家提供解说)的目的是“enhance public understanding”(增进公众理解),此处需用不定式作目的状语,故填to enhance。
7 for 考查固定搭配。“arrange for sb. to do sth.”是固定短语,意为“安排某人做某事”,此处表示“北京的一些学校甚至安排学生在校园集合一起观测月食”,故填for。
8 and 考查连词。“above”(在……上方)和“to the left of”(在……左边)是并列关系,共同描述土星相对于月球的位置,需用并列连词and连接,故填and。
9 will take 考查动词时态。根据前文“Astronomers predict”(天文学家预测)以及后文时间状语“on March 3 next year”(明年3月3日)可知,此处描述的是未来将要发生的动作,应用一般将来时,故填will take。
10 a 考查冠词。“experience”在此处表示“一次经历”,是可数名词单数形式,且“breathtaking”(令人惊叹的)是以辅音音素开头的单词,需用不定冠词a修饰,构成“offer a...experience”(提供一次……的经历),故填a。
