    【C3】______you must pass under a ladder you can【C4】______bad luck by crossing your fingers and【C5】______them crossed until you have seen a dog. 【C6】______, you may lick your finger and 【C7】______ a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the 【C8】______ has dried.

【C1】
选项 A、broadly
B、widely
C、quickly
D、speedily
答案B
解析 考查副词辨析。此空所在句的意思为“在英国最广为流传的迷信之一是…”。根据句意应该填入一个表示“广泛”(认为)的词，与最后一段的commonly held形成呼应。故B．widely“广泛地”为正确选项。broadly意为“大体上，基本上，概括地，宽广地，广泛”，强调幅度范围的宽广，与上下文语义不符；quickly和speedily表示“迅速地”，可以同时排除。
