7.7】B 考察動(dòng)詞辨析。句義：而他的隊(duì)友們卻慢慢地到處走動(dòng)，嗑（spit吐）著瓜子，聽其他隊(duì)友講的笑話，開心地笑著。A咀嚼；B吐；C數(shù)；D吞。根據(jù)句義說明B正確。

12.2】答案：D　考查動(dòng)詞短語辨析。句意為：當(dāng)父母開始干涉教練如何管理運(yùn)動(dòng)員時(shí)，長(zhǎng)此以往，問題也就隨之而來(come out)了。stand out出色，突出；break out爆發(fā)(一般指戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)或者口角)；work out鍛煉身體，進(jìn)展，均不符合文義，故排除。
