65、羡慕嫉妒而伤害他人，否则就会自食恶果。本文通过一只山羊与一头驴之间的故事说明了这一道理。41harder考查副词的比较级。根据空前的much并由下文中的better和more可推知，这里指驴工作更努力，故应用比较级形式。42was given考查动词的时态和语态。give和donkey是被动关系，应用被动语态；结合全文时态可知，应用一般过去时。43uncomfortable考查词性转换。根据语境，并由下文中的even jealous可知，此处应用形容词，表示“感觉不舒服的”，故用uncomfortable。44that考查固定结构。so.that.意为“如此以至于”，为固定结构，故填that。
66、45off考查固定搭配。take.off“在(某日或某段时间)休假”。46lay考查动词的时态。根据全文的时态可知此处应为一般过去时。47closed考查非谓语动词。这里是“with宾语宾补”结构，动词close和eyes之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用过去分词作宾补。48Having examined考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，examine与the doctor之间是逻辑上的主谓关系；且examine表示的动作发生在句子谓语动词said表示的动作之前，所以应用现在分词的完成式。49a考查冠词。此处表示泛指，且special的发音以辅音音素开头，故用a。50to考查介词。be bene
