【解析】試題分析：文章講述了成語“笑里藏刀”由來的歷史故事。

【1】eventually.考查副詞。此處指他的官位越升越高，最后當(dāng)了宰相。修飾動詞用副詞，故填eventually。

【2】However.考查連詞。此處指他官居高位，然而卻是個惡毒的人。前后句表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故填However。

【3】was making.考查時態(tài)。此處指當(dāng)他笑著和別人交談時，內(nèi)心卻正在想邪惡的事。表示過去進(jìn)行，故填was making。

【4】a.考查冠詞。修飾可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)woman，表示一個漂亮婦女，故填a。

【5】knew.考查時態(tài)。根據(jù)全文時態(tài)可知，此處也用過去時，故填過去式knew。

【6】setting.考查動詞形式。句中by是介詞，后跟名詞或動詞的-ing形式，指通過某種方式，故填setting。

【7】himself.考查反身代詞。句中主語和賓語是同一個人，賓語用反身代詞，此處指他自己上吊了。故填himself。

【8】truth.考查名詞。此處由the限定，后面用名詞。指揭露事實真相，故填truth。

【9】to.考查介詞。此處表示到一個遙遠(yuǎn)的地方，介詞to表示“到…地方”，故填to。

【10】to describe.考查不定式。此處是不定式表目的，指笑里藏刀這個成語被用來形容笑臉背后有殺人動機的人，故填to describe。
