[5]There was a surprising finish to this year’s Miss Universe contest. At first, it looked as if Colombia’s contestant had won. [5]But it turned out the show’s host announced the wrong winner. Steve Harvey read the name of the second-place finisher, Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo, as the new Miss Universe. She and Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of Philippines, who thought she had finished second, hugged. Arevalo accepted the crown and waved to the crowd, thinking she was the winner. Harvey then realized he made a mistake. "I have to apologize," he said, while standing next to Arevalo. Then he awarded the crown to the real winner. [6]The crown went to Wurtzbach. Wurtzbach looked shocked. Arevalo looked confused. The audience screamed. It was an awkward moment for everyone. [7]Harvey said he misread the card he had been given. The episode led to a long night of confusion, hurt feelings and apologies. "Nobody feels worse than me," Harvey told reporters after the show. Harvey wrote about the mistake on Twitter, saying, "I’d like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible."

7. What led to the mistake?
选项 A、There was a mistake on the card’s writing.
B、Steve Harvey misread the card.
C、The judges miscount the scores.

答案 B
解析 题目问是什么导致这次颁奖失误。新闻中明确说是由于主持人读错了颁奖卡片(Harvey said he misread the card he had been given)，故B正确。颁奖卡没有写错，只是主持人念错，A错误。错误出在主持人，不在评委，他也不是被愚弄，故排除C“评委算错分数”和D“Harvey被恶作剧”。
