{01}The poor mother ______when she heard the news that her only son had been killed by the enemies.
A.broke out
B.broke down
C.broke up
D.broke off
解析：考查短语辨析。break out（战争，火灾等）爆发；break down抛锚；击垮；break up破裂；break off打断。根据句意选B。
本题选B。
{02}The doctor _________ him to give up smoking but he would not listen.
A.forced
B.persuaded
C.suggested
D.advised
解析：
本句可译作：医生劝他戒烟，可他就是不听。根据句子中： he would not listen可知选项B不正确是因为persuade表示cause sb. by reasoning (to do sth.)说服；劝说某人做某事。
本题选D。
