throwing

being thrown

to throw

a; the; /

a; the; the

the; the; /

— Father, you promised!

—Well,____．But it was you who didn't keep your word first．

so was I 

so did I 

so I was 

so I did

考查部分倒装“So + be/情态动词/助动词 + 主语”与表强调的“So + 主语 + be/情态动词/助动词”区别。根据语境“you promised（你许诺过）”和答语“But it was …”可知爸爸回答“我的确许诺过”，且promised是过去时，所以表强调要用助动词did,故选D。句意：——爸爸，你许诺过。——好啦，我的确许诺过。但是是你先没有遵守诺言。

双赢的局面。A.compromise妥协；B.object反对；C.salute致敬；D.rate比率。由后文试着为你们双方创造双赢的局面，可知前面讲的是妥协。故选A项。

for the first time

for every time

考查时间状语从句。句意：每次听孩子对错误行为的辩解，聪明的父母都能分辨出他们是否在说真话。此处引导时间状语从句，表示“每一次” 应用every time。the first time表示“第一次”，与语境不符；for the first time作时间状语，不可引导从句；没有for every time 的表达方式。故选B项。
