【解析】

本文講述西方人對(duì)星期五和數(shù)字13都有所忌諱，認(rèn)為它們不吉利。那么這個(gè)數(shù)字和星期五碰到一起會(huì)怎樣呢，有人在1907年寫了一部《13號(hào)星期五》的書，面世一周就大賣，1916年被拍成了電影，從那時(shí)人們才了解到了這個(gè)日子。在這天許多人們不外出，不買貴重物品，甚至不做生意。1939年的那個(gè)十月13日恰逢星期五，印第安納的人們就給所有的黑貓戴上了鈴鐺，他們認(rèn)為鈴聲能驅(qū)走壞運(yùn)氣，帶來好事。

【1】句意：不要自焚或做任何可能傷害你的事情。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句 that might hurt you.可知，這里表達(dá)的是“做任何事情”，英語是anything，故選D。

【2】句意：數(shù)字13幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來一直不走運(yùn)。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表達(dá)的是“世紀(jì)”，英語是century，是一個(gè)可數(shù)名詞，空格前沒有冠詞，所以這里應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)形式centuries，故選C。

【3】句意：然而，這個(gè)數(shù)字加上星期五直到20世紀(jì)才引起人們的注意。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句In1907, someone wrote a book called Friday the Thirteenth.可知，這里表達(dá)的是“和……一起”，英語是together with，故選E。

【4】句意：這本書賣的很好：第一周內(nèi)就賣出了將近28,000冊(cè)。

根據(jù)句意理解及28,000 copies可知，這里表達(dá)的是“將近達(dá)到28000”，英語是nearly，是一個(gè)副詞，故選A。

【5】句意：然后人們開始了解十三號(hào)星期五。

根據(jù)句意理解及前句In 1916 the book was turned into a film.可知，這里指的是“開始了解”，英語是know about，而空格前是to，所以這里用動(dòng)詞原形，故選F。

【6】句意：因?yàn)樗麄兿嘈赔忚K會(huì)阻止厄運(yùn)。

根據(jù)句意理解及前句 In 1939, people in Indiana made all black cats wear-bells on Friday, Oct. 13可知，這里表達(dá)的是“相信”，英語是believe，因?yàn)閿⑹龅氖沁^去的事，故選B。

【題目】通讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中選出一個(gè)最佳選項(xiàng)。 We all know that some things are right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For example, we should not hurt or bully(欺負(fù)) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3, and remain safe. Car drivers have to follow traffic rules that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid accidents. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4, too.
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a "black and white" view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7.
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some say that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so 11 when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really 12 area and he is starving.
Rules help us live together in harmony(和諧), because they show us the right way to 13 others. However, some people argue that rules may be 14, having known that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some rules and others have different ones—so who is to 15 what is right?
（1）A.kind B.impolite C.fair D.unfair
（2）A.totally B.lightly C.clearly D.increasingly
（3）A.suggestions B.advice C.turns D.choices
（4）A.accidents B.mistakes C.falls D.deaths
（5）A.interesting B.important C.easy D.valuable
（6）A.seldom B.usually C.only D.never
（7）A.trouble B.power C.prison D.control
