There are many superstitions in Britain, but one of the most【C1】______held is that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder — even if it means【C2】______off the pavement into a busy street! 【C3】______you must pass under a ladder you can【C4】______bad luck by crossing your fingers and【C5】______them crossed until you have seen a dog. 【C6】______, you may lick your finger and【C7】______a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the【C8】______has dried.
Another common【C9】______is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house — it will either bring【C10】______to the person who opened it or to the whole【C11】______. Anyone opening an umbrella in fine weather is【C12】______. as it inevitably brings rain!
The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the month【C13】______on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid a bad event had better stay【C14】______. The worst misfortune that can happen to a person is caused by breaking a mirror, 【C15】______it brings seven years of bad luck! The superstition is supposed to have【C16】______in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.
Black cats are generally considered lucky in Britain, even though they are【C17】______with witchcraft. It is【C18】______lucky if a black cat crosses your path — although in America the exact opposite belief prevails.

选项
A、unwise
B、unintelligent
C、unpopular
D、unfortunate
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。上一句提到在家里打伞会带来霉运,本句提到在晴天打伞会带来雨,由此可推 断出人们对在晴天打伞的任何人都很讨厌,故答案为[C]unpopular“不受欢迎的”。[D]unfortunate“不幸的” 为强干扰项,在晴天打伞招来雨不足以视作不幸,故排除。[A]unwise“不明智的”;[B]unintelligent“愚钝的”。
