150.In the mid-1960’s a newly installed radar warning system mistook the rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets.
(A) rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets
(B) rising of the moon for a massive Soviet missile attack
(C) moon rising to a massive missile attack by the Soviets
(D) moon as it was rising for a massive Soviet missile attack
(E) rise of the moon as a massive Soviet missile attack
og 解释：choice E also employs the nonidiomatic rise of the moon.
请问：rise of the moon是非习语表达，那the rising of the moon就是习语表达么？为什么？

bigcamel

the rising of the moon or the sun就是习惯的表达，没有为什么

查了Longman，rise作动词时有专门一个词条表示太阳，星星，或月亮的升起，而作名词时则没有这个意思：

sun/moon/star
            to appear in the sky [≠ set]:

The sun rises in the east.

 

所以，rise of the moon是nonidomatic的
