拓展提升Ⅰ.阅读理解

• 1．Nine years ago，when the closest and largest full moon fell on March 19，2011，many people used the term， "supermoon"，which we had never heard before.In 2012，we heard this term again to describe the year's closest full moon on May 6，2012.Supermoons also appeared in 2013，2014，2015，2017 and 2019.
     What does "supermoon" mean exactly？And how special was the March 19，2011 supermoon？
     The word "supermoon" didn't come from astronomy.Instead，it came from astrology （占星学）.In 1979，astrologer Richard Nolle defined it as a new or full moon which occurs at or near its closest point to the earth in its orbit.In short，the earth，moon and sun are all in a line，with the moon at its nearest point to the earth.
     And the full moon of March 19，2011 was the largest moon of that year.This "supermoon" was at perigee （近地点）-its closest point to the earth in its orbjye.ai.It was bigger and brighter than other full moons of 2011.Astronomers call this sort of close full moon a perigee full moon.
     That doesn't sound very special，does it？In fact，the March 2011 full moon lined up much closer to perigee than Nolle's original definition.But were you able to notice with your eyes alone that this full moon was bigger or brighter than usual？Astronomers said no.But it was fun to stand outside under this full moon and know that the moon was closer than ever.
     In 2019，there were three supermoons.The first supermoon of 2019 was the Super Blood Wolf Moon on January 21，which occurred with a total lunar eclipse （月全食）at the same time，also known as a "blood moon".The second supermoon of 2019 was on February 19，also called the Snow Moon，which was the closest full moon of the year.The third and final supermoon of 2019，known by Native Americans as the Worm Moon，occurred on March 21.It fell on the day of the vernal equinox （春分），which signals the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
