Question

I used to be ashamed of my grandma. I know that's a 1　thing to say, but it was true until today, so I have to　2　it.

The  3 started when my friend Katy found Grandma's false teeth floating in a glass on the bathroom sink. I was so used to seeing them that I 4　 took notice of them. But Katy shouted, laughing and　 5　 to talk to them. I had to get down on my knees and　 6　　her to shut up so my grandma wouldn't　 7　  and get hurt.

After that happened, I　 8　 there were a million things about Grandma that were embarrassing（令人窘迫）.

Once she took Jill and me out to Burger King.　 9　  ordering our hamburgers well-done, she told the person behind the counter, "They'll have two Whoppers (巨無霸) well-to-do. " Jill burst out laughing, but I almost　10　 　.

After a while, I started wishing I could　 11　 Grandma in a closet. I even complained to my parents. Both my parents said I had to be careful not to make Grandma feel　  12　 in our home.

Then last Wednesday, something happened that　 13　 everything completely. My teacher told us to help find interesting old people and　 14　  them about their　 15　 for a big Oral History project. I was trying to think of someone when Angie pushed me gently.

"Volunteer your grandmother," she whispered. "She's　 16　 and rich in experience."

That was the last thing I ever thought Angie would say about my grandma.

This is how I ended up on　  17　 today interviewing my own grandmother before the whole school assembly (集合). All my friends and teachers were listening to her　  18　 she was a great heroine. I was　  19　　of my grandma and hoped she would　 20  know that I had been ashamed of her.

解析:

【小題1】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(duì)奶奶錯(cuò)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。

【小題2】雖然這種事情說出來不好，但卻是一個(gè)事實(shí)，作者不得不承認(rèn)。

【小題3】后文所列舉的例子，是作者認(rèn)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；accident事故；adventure冒險(xiǎn)。

【小題4】根據(jù)句意可知此處應(yīng)為否定的語氣。

【小題5】根據(jù)動(dòng)詞的用法可排除A、C；再根據(jù)后文作者擔(dān)心奶奶會(huì)聽見受到傷害可以推斷出Katy只是假裝要宣揚(yáng)這件事。

【小題6】此處作者應(yīng)為懇求的語氣。

【小題7】根據(jù)上下文及詞意可知。

【小題8】聯(lián)系上下文可知，作者意識(shí)到奶奶會(huì)引起很多不愉快的事情。expect盼望；期望；declare 宣告；宣稱；doubt懷疑。

【小題9】根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，買漢堡包應(yīng)該買已經(jīng)做好的，而奶奶卻讓他們做一個(gè)“巨無霸”漢堡包。

【小題10】根據(jù)前文but 可知，作者的態(tài)度應(yīng)與弟弟的態(tài)度相反，再結(jié)合作者對(duì)奶奶的態(tài)度可排除B項(xiàng)，disappear 消失，不符語意， suffer受苦，遭受；此處用die表示作者十分生氣失望的心情。

【小題11】作者希望把奶奶藏起來，不讓奶奶出來引起麻煩。

【小題12】inconvenient 不便利的，不方便的，主語不能為人，故排除；結(jié)合語意可知父母不希望讓奶奶感到在家里不受歡迎。

【小題13】此處為本文的轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)，根據(jù)下文可知，作者對(duì)奶奶的看法發(fā)生了根本性的改變。finish結(jié)束；stop停止； prepare準(zhǔn)備。

【小題14】根據(jù)52個(gè)空后面的interview 可知答案。

【小題15】根據(jù)下文51個(gè)空后面的rich in experience 可知此處lives 為生活、經(jīng)歷。

【小題16】根據(jù)49個(gè)空前面My teacher told us to help find interesting old people… 的可知此處應(yīng)選C

【小題17】作者在全體師生面前采訪奶奶，讓她講述自己的經(jīng)歷應(yīng)在舞臺(tái)上。on show在展覽，on duty 在上班，on time按時(shí)。

【小題18】as if好象。

【小題19】聯(lián)系上文可知，作者對(duì)奶奶的看法已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)變。be proud of  對(duì)……感到自豪, be sure of  確信，be afraid of 害怕……。

【小題20】作者希望奶奶永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)知道自己原來對(duì)她的看法，不讓她因此受到傷害。
