【分析】

本文是一篇记叙文。在美国人们觉得星期五和数字13是不好的运气，在住酒店结婚等场合都避免使用它们。但是宾夕法尼亚大学教授Simon Bronner认为只是人们把坏运气归因于星期五和数字13。

102．考查副词。根据句子结构可知，空格处的单词是作状语的，应该用副词。故填Fortunately。

103．考查固定搭配。try to do sth.表示“尽力做某事”，try not to do sth.尽力不做某事。故填to break。

104．考查it作形式主语。分析句子结构可知，say后面是宾语从句，缺主语，分析句意可知，搞清楚这个传统是怎样产生的很难。不定式短语 to find out how the tradition came into being是真正的主语。为了保持句子平衡，应该用it作形式主语，而把不定式短语放到后面。故填it。

105．考查形容词。名词origins应该用形容词来修饰。故填religious。

106．考查定语从句引导词。the Friday为定语从句的先行词，在后面从句中作时间状语，星期前面用on，所以定语从句的引导词是when或on which。故填when。

107．考查介词+doing用法。include是动词，分析句子结构可知，整个句子是单句，include在这里不作谓语，需要用它的介词形式，后面跟介词宾语。故填including。

108．考查名词。由前面的are和many可知，此处应用可数名词的复数形式。故填explanations。

109．考查时态。分析上下文可知，此篇文章主要时态是一般现在时，本句主语是单数，所以要用believe的单三形式。故填believes。

110．考查表语从句引导词。本句中should be后面是表语从句，从句内容完整。故填that。

111．考查一般现在时被动语态。根据句意和句子结构可知，the number 13和consider是被动关系，又分析上文知道，这里应该用一般现在时，the number 13是单数主语，所以要用一般现在时的被动语态，be动词用is。故填is considered。
