【解析】

試題分析：文章講述作者過(guò)去曾因?yàn)槟赀~的奶奶言行舉止有些怪異而感到恥辱，后來(lái)奶奶有機(jī)會(huì)站在學(xué)校舞臺(tái)講述自己的經(jīng)歷并深受歡迎，從而作者對(duì)奶奶的看法發(fā)生了根本性的改變。

1.C根據(jù)第一句I used to be ashamed of my grandma 以及后文可知，作者過(guò)去對(duì)奶奶錯(cuò)誤的看法或態(tài)度是一件很糟糕的事情。funny滑稽可笑的 ；terrible可怕的，糟糕的；common常見的；clear清晰的。

2.A雖然這種事情說(shuō)出來(lái)不好，但卻是一個(gè)事實(shí)，作者不得不承認(rèn)。admit承認(rèn)； receive收到，接收；refuse拒絕；show展示。

3.C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(zhēng)吵，故排除A；quarrel吵架,accident事故 ；trouble麻煩；adventure冒險(xiǎn)。

4.D 根據(jù)上文I was so used to seeing them的句意及下文but轉(zhuǎn)折可知此處應(yīng)為否定的語(yǔ)氣。already已經(jīng)；always總是；simply簡(jiǎn)單地，只是；hardly幾乎不。故選D

5.B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。enjoying喜歡，享受；pretending假裝；imagining享受 ；continuing繼續(xù)。

6.D 上下文串聯(lián)。從上文get down on my knees（雙膝跪下），可以推斷作者是懇求語(yǔ)氣，beg sb to do sth乞求某人做某事。 其他三項(xiàng)Warn警告；demand；要求advise建議均不符合題意。

7.B上下文串聯(lián)。從上句中shut up(閉嘴)一詞可以得知作者不想讓奶奶聽到嘲笑而受到傷害。 mind介意;hear聽到，聽見see看見fall落下，掉下。故選hear。

8.C 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,期待；declare宣告，宣稱；realize意識(shí)到；doubt懷疑.

9.D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(wú)霸”漢堡包。. Because of因?yàn)�；Except for 除了；Such as比如說(shuō)；Instead of代替，而不是。

10.A 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)cheer使振奮，使歡呼；disappear 消失，不符語(yǔ)意， suffer受苦，遭受；此處用die表示作者十分生氣失望的心情�！　　　�

11.D作者希望把奶奶藏起來(lái)，不讓奶奶出來(lái)引起麻煩。 meet遇見；avoid避免 ；arrange安排； 　　 　 hide躲藏，故選D

12.C inconvenient 不便利的，不方便的，主語(yǔ)不能為人，故排除；結(jié)合語(yǔ)意可知父母不希望讓奶奶感到在家里不受歡迎。Independent獨(dú)立的；inconvenient不方便的；unwelcome不受歡迎的；unfamiliar不熟悉的。

13.A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；changed改變。

14.A原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。 根據(jù)52個(gè)空后面的interview 可知答案。. Interview面試，采訪；report 報(bào)道；　　tell告訴；write寫。

15.B根據(jù)下文51空后面的rich in experience 可知此處lives 為生活、經(jīng)歷。news 消息；　　　　  lives生命advantages優(yōu)點(diǎn)，長(zhǎng)處 achievements成就。

16.C 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。Free自由的；popular受歡迎的； interesting有趣的；embarrassing令人尷尬的。

17.B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 stage在舞臺(tái)上；on duty 在上班；on time按時(shí)。

18.D空后說(shuō)奶奶是個(gè)偉大的英雄，但實(shí)際上并不是真正意義上的英雄 ，故用as if好像 ，用以突出奶奶講述自己的經(jīng)歷時(shí)大家都認(rèn)真聽的情形。and then然后 even if即使 so that為了，以便。

19.B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……。Be ashamed of 以。。。為羞恥　

20.A作者希望奶奶永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)知道自己原來(lái)對(duì)她的看法，不讓她因此受到傷害。never從不，永不　　　even曾經(jīng)；still仍然，還 once曾經(jīng)，一度。

考點(diǎn)：日常生活類短文。
