【解析】

1.C

解析　根據(jù)第一句“I used to be ashamed of my grandma.”以及后文可知，作者過去對奶奶錯誤的看法或態(tài)度是一件羞于啟齒的事情。funny滑稽可笑的；common常見的；clear清晰的。

2.2】　A

解析　雖然這種事情說出來不好，但卻是一個事實，作者不得不承認。

3.3】　C

解析　后文所列舉的例子，是作者認為由奶奶引起的麻煩事。另外后文沒有出現(xiàn)作者與Katy爭吵，故排除A項；accident事故；adventure冒險。

4.4】　D

解析　根據(jù)句意可知此處應為否定的語氣。

5.5】　B

解析　根據(jù)動詞的用法可排除A、C兩項；再根據(jù)后文作者擔心奶奶會聽見受到傷害可以推斷出Katy只是假裝要宣揚這件事。

6.6】　D

解析　此處作者應為懇求的語氣。

7.7】　B

解析　根據(jù)上下文及詞意可知B項最合題意。

8.8】　C

解析　聯(lián)系上下文可知，作者意識到有許多關于奶奶的令人窘迫的事情。expect盼望，期望；declare宣告，宣稱；doubt懷疑。

9.9】　D

解析　根據(jù)常識可知，買漢堡包應該買已經(jīng)做好的，而奶奶卻讓他們做一個“巨無霸”漢堡包。

10.0】　A

解析　根據(jù)前文but可知，作者的態(tài)度應與弟弟的態(tài)度相反，再結合作者對奶奶的態(tài)度可排除B項。disappear消失； suffer受苦，遭受，不符語意。此處用die表示作者十分生氣失望的心情。

11.1】　D

解析　作者希望把奶奶藏起來，不讓奶奶出來引起麻煩。

12.2】　C

解析　inconvenient不便利的，不方便的，主語不能為人，故排除；結合語意可知父母不希望讓奶奶感到在家里不受歡迎。

13.3】　A

解析　此處為本文的轉折點，根據(jù)下文可知，作者對奶奶的看法發(fā)生了根本性的改變。finish結束；stop停止； prepare準備。

14.4】　A

解析　由最后一段第一句中的interviewing可知答案。

15.5】　B

解析　根據(jù)下一段中空后面的rich in experience可知此處為生活經(jīng)歷，故選lives。

16.6】　C

解析　根據(jù)上一段第二句“My teacher told us to help find interesting old people...”可知此處應選C項。

17.7】　B

解析　作者在全體師生面前采訪奶奶，讓她講述自己的經(jīng)歷，所以應在舞臺上。on stage在舞臺上，符合語境。on show在展覽；on duty在上班；on time按時。

18.8】　D

解析　as if好像。

19.9】　B

解析　聯(lián)系上文可知，作者對奶奶的看法已經(jīng)轉變。be proud of對……感到自豪；be sure of確信；be ashamed of以……為恥；be afraid of害怕。

20.20】　A

解析　作者希望奶奶永遠不會知道自己原來對她的看法，不讓她因此受到傷害。
