Parties often last into the middle of the night after the ringing of a new year. It was once believed that the first visitor on New Year’s Day would bring【11】good luck or bad luck to the rest of the year. It was particularly lucky if that visitor【12】to be a tall dark-haired man.

选项
A、symbol
B、mark
C、hint
D、sign
答案
D
解析
本题考查点是词语的固定使用。本题的三个选项均有“记号;符号”之含义,但是在英语中表达“……的标志”之含义时惯用名词“sign”。本题空白处后面的信息内容“of prosperity(繁荣的……)”提示本题应该选用D,因为这样才能表达“繁荣的标志”之含义。
