There are many superstitions(迷信) in Britain, but one of the most widelyheld is that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder—even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!

Walking under a ladder

If you must walk under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you've seen a dog. Alternatively, you must lick your finger and make a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the mark has dried.

Umbrella

Another common superstition is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house—it will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household. The superstition could date from the old time when its purpose was to act as a sunshade. If opened indoors, it might be considered to be an attack on the sun. Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!

Number 13

The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid an inauspicious event had better stay indoors.

Seven years bad luck

The worst misfortune that can befall you is caused by breaking a mirror, as it brings seven years of bad luck! The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.

Black cat

In the UK, black cats are generally considered lucky in the UK, even though they are connected with witchcraft(巫术):You are said to be lucky if a black cat crosses your path.

1.Which experience is considered to be lucky according to the passage?

A. walking under a ladder

B. opening an umbrella in the house

C. breaking a mirror

D. a black cat crossing your path

2.Which of the followings is RIGHT in UK according to the passage?

A. Opening an umbrella in the rain is not acceptable or unpopular.

B. Black cats are generally considered unlucky because they have something with witchcraft.

C. Bad luck brought by walking under a ladder cannot be avoided using certain ways.

D. If you are to open a clothes store on May 13 in Britain, you had better change the date.

3.Which two superstitions are related to history?

A. ①②    B. ②④

C. ④⑤    D. ③④

4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. breaking a mirror will cause bad luck because it shows your disrespect(不敬)for the God

B. crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed can help avoid bad luck brought by walking under a ladder

C. number 13 is always unlucky in any situation

D. opening an umbrella indoors might be considered to be an attack on the sun

 

1.D 2.D 3.B 4.A 【解析】文章讲述了在英国众所周知的几个迷信事件。 1.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“You are said to be lucky if a black cat crosses your path.”可知,据说,如果一只黑猫穿过你前面的路,就会给你带来好运。而其他选项内容会让人倒霉。故选D。 2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!”可知,在房子里打伞会认为不正常,在雨中打伞是正常的。故排除A。根据最后一段中“In the UK, Black cats are generally considered lucky in the UK, even though they are connected with witchcraft(巫术).”可知,黑猫在英国被认为是幸运物,故排除B。根据第二段前两句可知,在梯子下走过去而带来的霉运是可以避免的,故排除C。根据第四段中“The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some”可知,数字“13”在英国被认为不幸运,故选D。 3.细节理解题。根据第三段中“The superstition could date from the old time when its purpose was to act as a sunshade.” 迷信可以追溯到旧时代,它的目的是作为一个遮阳伞。和第五段中“The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.” 迷信应该起源于古代,那时镜子被认为是神的工具。可知,关于雨伞与镜子的这两种迷信说法都有历史渊源。故选B。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.”可知,在古代镜子代表着神仙,所以打碎镜子被认为是不尊重神仙。故选A。 【名师点睛】细节理解型:文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持,这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要,同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章,以获得某些特定的信息,或准确地寻求所需的细节,并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为:(1)一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合,一一对应,一目了然。属于浅层次的阅读试题,分数比例极少。(2)语言转述型。这是一类间接事实细节题,答案与题目在意义上充分运用了词义之间的转述关系,即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另类表达。属于中档难度题,分数比例较大。(3)语意理解型。这是一类深层事实细节理解题,答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系,这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合,才能得出正确答案。属于较高难度的事实细节题,分数比例很大。(4)是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题,出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确,只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”(三项错误,只有一项符合原文内容)。(5)事实排序型。这是一类运用多项事实进行排序的事实细节题,要求根据动作发生的先后顺序、时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系,找出事件发生、发展的正确顺序。例如:本文中的第2小题: 【解题剖析】此题属于细节理解中(4)是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题,出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确,只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”(三项错误,只有一项符合原文内容)。 【答案定位】根据第三段中“Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!”可知,在房子里打伞会认为不正常,在雨中打伞是正常的。故排除A。根据最后一段中“In the UK, Black cats are generally considered lucky in the UK, even though they are connected with witchcraft(巫术).”可知,黑猫在英国被认为是幸运物,故排除B。根据第二段前两句可知,在梯子下走过去而带来的霉运是可以避免的,故排除C。根据第四段中“The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some”可知,数字“13”在英国被认为不幸运,故选D。
