14、erstition, or who are superstitious, believe that they can either 37 themselves good luck or avoid bad luck of disasters by acting in 38 ways. An example of this involves salt. 39 some people spill salt, they immediately take some of it and 40 it over their left shoulder. In this way, they feel they

15、 will 41 bad luck. Why do people believe in superstitions? 42 did they begin to think they could control their luck? We read 43 about some of the Greek, Roman and Norse gods. People in 44 times believed that these gods 45 their lives and all of nature. They tried to keep their gods 46 by giving them

16、 gifts. When there were natural 47 , people thought that the gods were 48 with them, so they tried to make the gods happy again.

We still have our superstitions. 本文是说明文。主要介绍什么是迷信思想以及人们为什么会相信这些迷信思想。36.

18、A. agree withB. believe inC. go againstD. favour【解析】选C。根据上一句“There is no logic to superstition”以及下文描述可知，迷信的人的信念往往违背自然规律。所以用go against（违反，违背）。agree with同意，适合；believe in相信，信任；favour赞同，恩惠，宠爱，均不符合句意。37. A. bringB. refuseC. setD. provide【解析】选A。根据后半句“避免厄运”可知此处应为“带来好运”。bring sb. good luck给某人带来好运。38. A. dep

19、endableB. certainC. definiteD. good【解析】选B。他们相信可以通过某些方式（in certain ways）给自己带来好运，避免厄运。certain某个，某些；dependable依赖的；definite明确的；确定的；good好的。39. A. WhenB. UnlessC. Even ifD. Though【解析】选A。when引导时间状语从句，“当的时候”。句意：当盐被撒的时候，有些人就会拿一些从左肩扔过去。40. A. throwB. getC. takeD. run【解析】选A。与上句一起理解。throw sth. over. . . 把从扔过去。4

20、1. A. haveB. escapeC. getD. avoid【解析】选D。由上句内容可知，人们这样做当然是为了避免厄运。avoid避免，消除。escape“避免，逃脱”，不符合句意。42. A. WhereB. WhenC. WhyD. How【解析】选D。下文讲述了人们为什么相信迷信，如何会认为自己能控制运气。因此，这里应用how（如何）。43. A. laterB. earlierC. earnestlyD. sooner【解析】选B。本段讲述人们迷信的由来，由此可知，此处填earlier（以前，较早的时候）。44. A. goodB. hardC. modernD. ancient

21、【解析】选D。因为下文描述的都是古代的事情，所以用in ancient times（在古代）。45. A. controlledB. guidedC. cared forD. created【解析】选A。由下文“so they tried to make the gods happy again”可知古代的人们认为神能控制（control）人的生命及大自然的一切。guide指导，管理；care for关怀，照顾；create创造，造成，均不符合语境。46. A. happyB. sadC. angryD. pleasant【解析】选A。由“so they tried to make the g

22、ods happy again”可知，此句应该为“他们设法通过送礼物使神高兴”。47. A. happeningsB. disastersC. eventsD. achievements【解析】选B。由“make the gods happy again”可知神有不高兴的时候。这时应该就是灾难（disasters）出现的时候了。happening发生的事情；event事件；achievement成就，均不符合语境。48. A. satisfiedB. angryC. pleasedD. surprised【解析】选B。当发生自然灾难时，人们会认为这是神对他们不满，因此用灾难来惩罚他们。be a

23、ngry with sb. 生某人的气。be satisfied/pleased with对满意；be surprised at/by对感到吃惊。49. A. whereB. whenC. becauseD. how【解析】选D。上文讲述了迷信的来历，因此本句意思为“这就是我们如何（how）得出了这样一个观点的，即某些行为可以影响一个人的命运”。50. A. familyB. workC. fateD. study【解析】选C。与上句一起理解。由上下文可知，此处谈论的是神对人命运（fate）的影响。51. A. believedB. refusedC. hadD. held【解析】选D。hol

24、d superstitions相信迷信，持有迷信思想。此题易误选A。believe表示相信某人的话，某人的行为；believe in相信某种信念。52. A. muchB. a littleC. a great deal ofD. little【解析】选D。由句首的yet可知，此句与上句意思相反，故此处应用具有否定意义的词。所以选D。53. A. sinceB. whetherC. ifD. while【解析】选A。since在本句中表示原因，“既然，由于”。然而现在很多人都不相信迷信了，因为（since）很多地方的人都不相信在这个世界上有很多神。54. A. still B. not mor

25、e C. no longer D. already【解析】选C。由上文“很多人不再相信迷信”可知，所以我们不再用礼物来使神高兴了。所以用no longer“不再”。still还，仍，更，还要，尽管如此，依然；already已经。55. A. SomewhereB. ThereforeC. SomehowD. Also【解析】选C。由“many of the actions continue in modern times”可知上下句之间是转折关系。句意：然而很多迷信活动还是以某种方式存在于现代社会中。所以用somehow“以某种方式，以某种方法”。somewhere在某处；therefore因

26、此，所以；also也。第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）(A)原创预测题 De Xin Hai ship was seized Monday in the Indian Ocean.

38、e tower is still very slightly moving towards being upright. ”The tower, which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173, was closed to the public in 1990 because of safety fears.
