For many people in the West, March 13 will be scary. It is said that there are millions of people who will be so scared that they will refuse to get out of bed all day! 【1】
Being nervous about Friday the 13th is a superstition (迷信). 【2】Many buildings don’t have a 13th floor and, in races, no one wants to wear the number 13. According to some, Jesus was crucified(十字架上钉死) on Friday making the combination of “Friday” and “13” particularly unlucky.
【3】 For example, people think it is unlucky to walk under ladders. 【4】This behavior is seen as an insult (侮辱) to the sun and a sign that everyone inside will have bad luck. When a black cat passes in front of you, it is also thought to mean that bad luck is coming.
【5】 Well, three-leaf clovers (三叶草), horseshoes facing up and even rabbit feet are said to bring good luck. There is a rhyme to help you remember the last lucky item, a “penny”: “Find a penny, pick it up; All the day you’ll have good luck!”
A. What makes this day so terrifying?
B. Why are people in the West so superstitious?
C. So is there anything you can do to bring good luck in the West?
D. It is also believed that you should never open an umbrella indoors.
E. The number 13 is considered unlucky in many western countries.
F. There are some other animals that people think will bring bad luck.
G. In addition to the number 13, there are other superstitions in Western culture.
【答案】
【1】A
【2】E
【3】G
【4】D
【5】C
【解析】
【1】A 根据第一段可知,在西方,人们害怕三月十三,而后文中提到人们为什么害怕,故要用一个问句来起到承上启下的作用,这样的表述衔接比较合理,故选A。
【2】E 根据第二段内容可知,在西方国家建筑物没有13层,耶稣死于星期五都谁明数字13和星期五是不幸的,故选E。
【3】G 根据该空后的例子:人们认为走在梯子地下也是不幸得。可知此处是要说明其他一些在西方国家的迷信。故选G。
【4】D 根据该空后面的信息可知,这种行为被视为对太阳的侮辱以及每一个在它底下的人都会有厄运的象征。可知此处是指在屋里打伞。故选D。
【5】C 此段列举了一些可以给人带来幸运的事物—找到三页草;马蹄铁朝上;兔子脚等。可知是一些能给人带来运气的东西。故选C。

【题目】Just getting accepted to an American college or university does not guarantee that you will get a visa. And getting a visa just lets you arrive in the United States. It does not guarantee that an immigration officer will permit you to enter the country.
If you are requesting a visa for the first time, you will probably have to go to an American embassy or consulate(领事馆). You will need to bring a government form sent to you by your American school that shows you have been accepted.
You will also need banking and tax records that show you have enough money to pay for your education. And be prepared to provide evidence that you will return to your home country after your studies end.
All of this is important in satisfying the requirements to get a visa. A consular official will also take your picture and your fingerprints.
Foreign students must contact their local embassy or consulate to request an interview and to get other information. This includes directions about how and where to pay the visa application charge. The cost is two hundred dollars.
You should apply for the visa as soon as you have been accepted to a school in the United States. The government needs time to perform a background investigation.
You cannot receive a visa more than one hundred twenty days before the start of your program. And if you are coming as a student for the first time, you cannot enter the country more than thirty days before classes begin.
Once you come to the United States, you can stay for the length of your period of study. Your school is required to provide the Department of Homeland Security with reports on your status as a student.
【1】What do you have to take to the American embassy if you request a visa for the first time?
A. A government form. B. Banking and tax records.
C. Pictures and fingerprints. D. Both A and B.
【2】When should you apply for a visa?
A. The moment you have been accepted to a school in the US.
B. One hundred twenty days before you go to the US.
C. Thirty days before classes begin.
D. After the immigration officer permit you to enter the US.
【3】How much will you be charged for the visa application?
A. Free of charge. B. Two hundred dollars.
C. One hundred twenty dollars. D. Thirty dollars.
【4】What may be the main idea of this passage?
