Question

Being positive is very important. So I often      my son to be positive. But one day I was caught not doing what I often tell him to do.

My son is 7 years old and he was      a show to be put on at his school. He was playing the role of an angel. On the evening before the show, he asked me, “Mom, can we      angels?” As usual, I seized(抓住)the       to teach him to be positive and I said, “Yes, but only those who are perfect, and think and talk positively can.” He asked, “You must have seen them then?”

I was      for a few seconds, not knowing what to say. I was touched by his      that his mother was a perfect person. He looked into my eyes,      a positive answer. I chose to be      with him and told him, “No. I’ve not been a good person all the time.” I was almost      to admit this to him. I thought that his      of a perfect mother would now surely be torn into pieces. But he      it positively and said, “It’s all right. You know to try to be better from now on.” I smiled as I replied,  “ That’s      . Sometimes, we might make a      , but when we do, we must always try to do better.”

My son’s       struck me right in my heart and are always with me. I learned a good lesson that day “to always try to be better.” This will always       me in all situations where I’ll need to be positive.

1.D考查动词辨析。A. show“展示，显示”； B. refuse“拒绝”； C. worry“担心”； D. encourage“鼓励”，因为语境“Being positive is very important.”，可知作者认为积极乐观地面对生活很重要，所以“我”会经常“鼓励”儿子要乐观地面对生活。故该题正确答案为D.

2.B考查动词短语辨析。A. going through“经历；被通过；仔细审查/检查”； B. preparing for“为…做准备”； C. turning to“转向；变成；求助于”； D. looking for“寻找”，根据下文“He was playing the role of an angel.”（他扮演天使）可知，该句句意：“作者的儿子正在为学校里的一场表演‘做准备’。”，故该题正确答案为B.
