10、“There were the whitecollars who would stop in to unwind from the days stress (有很多白领,他们会停下来放松一天的压力)”可知,白领们到这里是为了放松自己。故选D项。3C推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“But one night, he showed that he was all talk.”可知他在抱怨,结合他当晚讲话的内容“While Bill was on patrol (巡逻),a call came over the radio about an apartment fire.He raced scout

15、or a single stock exchange.But when he analyzed the data as a whole, Lucey found that internationally, with few exceptions, returns on Friday the 13th were typically just a little higher than returns on other Fridays.The scientific evidence for cause and effect may not be there, but people may still

22、Western culture as one associated with negative things, its really just another Friday on the calendar.There is no scientific evidence to suggest this day has an increased chance of bad occurrences compared with other days(今天是十三号星期五。尽管这个日子在西方文化中被认为是一个与负面事物有关的日子,但它实际上只是日历上的另一个星期五。没有科学证据表明这一天比其他日子发生坏事
23、的概率更高)”可知,13号星期五之所以总是和负面事物联系在一起是西方文化使然。故选C项。6B细节理解题。根据第二段可知:在Thomas WLawsons 1907年出版的小说13号星期五中,一个商人利用迷信在这一天制造了一场华尔街恐慌。这本书很可能启发了人们对9月13日周五下跌的股市回报率进行一系列科学研究。2001年,爱尔兰Trinity College Dublin商学教授Brian Lucey发表了他对其中几项研究的分析,发现了一些缺陷。故可推断,Brian Lucey的研究重点是华尔街恐慌的书面记录。故选B项。7A推理判断题。根据第三段,因果关系的科学证据可能并不存在,但人们仍可能在1
24、3号星期五这天改变自己的行为,从而导致某些事情发生。人们开车的方式可能和平时不一样,紧接着用转折连词but引出“但为数不多的针对交通事故的研究并没有发现统计上显著的趋势,表明13号星期五在路上比其他星期五更危险”,由此可知,提到的少数研究就是为了证明人类对13号星期五的恐惧是没有必要的。故选A项。8B推理判断题。根据最后一段,曼彻斯特大学的心理学家Neil Dagnall表示:“从心理学角度来说,迷信源于影响外部事件、减少焦虑和不确定性的渴望。”“此外,我认为人们通常都不知道自己为什么要这样做。”由此可知,Neil Dagnall认为迷信可以帮助人们减轻焦虑。故选B项。.语法填空(2021年广
