60、知，作者和朋友之前想尽办法，一心想抓住老鼠，但是失败了。作者走后，朋友从作者的失败中汲取教训，使老鼠自己跑进了陷阱里，作者的朋友成功地抓到了老鼠，因此作者的朋友笑到了最后(即获得了胜利)。故选B。C(2018马鞍山阶段测试)Many people delight in gossiping，and the more they know about someone else，the more powerful they feelat someone elses expense.While at the end of the day no good will come of it and someo

66、了有些人热衷于说闲话的原因，并说明这种习惯的坏处以及如何改正这一不良习惯。8.Whats the closest meaning of the underlined word“relay”？A.show B.cover C.spread D.get答案C词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“someone whos excited to”和“the latest piece of juicy news”可知， 尽管这到头来没有什么好处，并且有人很可能会受到伤害，但是人们还是试图告诉某个热衷于传播最新有趣消息的人。据此可以判断，画线词意为“传播”，故C项正确。9.Which statement is
67、 NOT the reason for people being conscious of saying something they know they shouldnt?A.They feel not good when they leak it out.B.They arent interested in it.C.They have a sense of conflict during saying it.D.They probably regret saying it.答案B正误判断题。根据第二段的第二句“As it is slipping out of our mouths，we
68、start to feel uncomfortable”可知，一旦说出口，我们便感到不舒服；根据第二段第三句中的“We have a sense of conflict”可知，我们对是否要说出口会感到很矛盾；根据第二段的倒数第二句“Once out，they may feel good for a moment，but theyre just as likely to regret their decision”可知，他们会对说出去的话感到后悔。B项没有提及，故选B。10.Why do people say something that should never be said and can
69、 hurt others?A.Because they want to hurt others.B.Because they hate this kind of people.C.Because they dont know each other well.D.Because they are lack of sensitivity.答案D细节理解题。根据第三段的第三句“With our lack of sensitivity，we say things that should never be said and often dont stop long enough to realize t
70、hat we have not only hurt others，but we have unintentionally hurt ourselves”可知，由于我们缺乏敏感性，所以我们才会说出不应该说的话，故D项正确。11.From the last paragraph，we can know that _.A.we should speak less and listen moreB.we cant keep secretsC.we havent many friendsD.we should talk about others as much as possible答案A细节理解题。根据最后一句“When in doubt，it is always better to listen than to speak”可知，我们应当多听少说，故选A。
