试题分析：本文讲述了一个母亲，希望教导自己儿子用乐观的态度面对世界。面对儿子提出的天真的问题，虽然不想让儿子失望，但还是选择了诚实回答。而儿子的反应出乎她的意料，原来儿子早就已经学会了乐观面对一切，她反而从儿子那里学到了真正的乐观。

【1】考查动词辨析。 A表现；B拒绝；C担心；D鼓励。由前文” Being positive is very important.”可知，作者认为保持乐观是非常重要的，所以她经常鼓励她的儿子保持乐观。故选D。

【2】考查动词辨析。A经历；B为……准备；C求助于；D寻找。由后文” On the evening before the show, he asked me”可知，在表演的前一天晚上，他问我。说明表演那时候还没开始，所以他应该是在准备一个表演。故选B。

【3】考查动词辨析。A描述；B.画画；C邀请；D看见。根据前文” He was playing the role of an angel.”可知，他扮演的角色是天使。而一个七岁的小男孩应该会好奇天使的存在，所以他问我们可以看到天使吗。故选D。

【4】考查名词辨析。A感觉；B态度；C机会；D方法；seize the chance为固定搭配，意为抓住机会。其他都不能与seize搭配使用，故选C。

【5】考查形容词辨析。A愉快的；B相当的；C冷静的；D安静的。由后文” not knowing what to say.”可知，作者不知道说什么，说明她安静了几秒。如果用冷静了几秒则不符合文章意思。故选D。

【6】考查名词辨析。A想法；B行为；C梦想；D故事。由前文她儿子说的话”He asked, ‘You must have seen them then?’”可知，她被儿子认为她是个完美的人的想法给感动了。故选A。

【7】考查动词辨析。A制造；B期待；C.尝试；D选择。由前后文可知，”He looked into my eyes”她儿子看着她，但当时她还没有回答，所以她儿子在期待一个正面的回答。故选B。

【8】考查形容词辨析。A耐心的；B生气的；C严格的；D诚实的。由后文”No. I’ve not been a good person all the time.”可知，她回答的是真实的答案，所以她是选择了诚实面对她儿子，尽管她儿子对她抱有期望。故选D。

【9】考查形容词辨析。A高兴的；B惊喜的；C放松的；D尴尬的。由前后文可知儿子对她充满期待，但她的回答却并不那么令人开心，”I thought that his____of a perfect mother would now surely be torn into pieces.”她觉得她在儿子心中的美好形象变成了碎片。故选择D。

【10】考查名词辨析。A描述；B演讲；C图片；D想法。由前文” I was touched by his ___that his mother was a perfect person.” 可知她的完美形象只是他儿子的想法，故选择D。

【11】考查动词辨析。A完成；B接受；C抓住；D改变。 took除了“拿”还有“接受”、“学习”的意思，从”It’s all right. You know to try to be better from now on.”可知她儿子说没关系，你知道从现在开始努力去变得更好。说明他儿子接受了妈妈并不完美这个事实。故选B。

【12】考查形容词辨析。A正确的；B好的；C不可能的；D不必要的。由前文” I smiled as I replied”可知，作者笑着回答儿子，表示她赞同儿子说的话。That’s right意为这就对了。That’s fine意为没事。故选A。

【13】考查名词辨析。A改变；B决定；C不同；D错误。由后文” but when we do, we must always try to do better”可知，如果我们这样做了，我们一定要试着去做得更好。用but连接，说明前面的句子意思与后面的句子意思相反，make a mistake意为犯错，故选D。
