答案解析：

小题1:　C

解析　根据第一句“I used to be ashamed of my grandma.”以及后文可知，作者过去对奶奶错误的看法或态度是一件羞于启齿的事情。funny滑稽可笑的；common常见的；clear清晰的。

小题2:　A

解析　虽然这种事情说出来不好，但却是一个事实，作者不得不承认。

小题3:　C

解析　后文所列举的例子，是作者认为由奶奶引起的麻烦事。另外后文没有出现作者与Katy争吵，故排除A项；accident事故；adventure冒险。

小题4:　D

解析　根据句意可知此处应为否定的语气。

小题5:　B

解析　根据动词的用法可排除A、C两项；再根据后文作者担心奶奶会听见受到伤害可以推断出Katy只是假装要宣扬这件事。

小题6:　D

解析　此处作者应为恳求的语气。

小题7:　B

解析　根据上下文及词意可知B项最合题意。

小题8:　C

解析　联系上下文可知，作者意识到有许多关于奶奶的令人窘迫的事情。expect盼望，期望；declare宣告，宣称；doubt怀疑。

小题9:　D

解析　根据常识可知，买汉堡包应该买已经做好的，而奶奶却让他们做一个“巨无霸”汉堡包。

小题10:　A

解析　根据前文but可知，作者的态度应与弟弟的态度相反，再结合作者对奶奶的态度可排除B项。disappear消失； suffer受苦，遭受，不符语意。此处用die表示作者十分生气失望的心情。

小题11:　D

解析　作者希望把奶奶藏起来，不让奶奶出来引起麻烦。

小题12:　C

解析　inconvenient不便利的，不方便的，主语不能为人，故排除；结合语意可知父母不希望让奶奶感到在家里不受欢迎。

小题13:　A

解析　此处为本文的转折点，根据下文可知，作者对奶奶的看法发生了根本性的改变。finish结束；stop停止； prepare准备。

小题14:　A

解析　由最后一段第一句中的interviewing可知答案。

小题15:　B

解析　根据下一段中空后面的rich in experience可知此处为生活经历，故选lives。

小题16:　C

解析　根据上一段第二句“My teacher told us to help find interesting old people...”可知此处应选C项。

小题17:　B

解析　作者在全体师生面前采访奶奶，让她讲述自己的经历，所以应在舞台上。on stage在舞台上，符合语境。on show在展览；on duty在上班；on time按时。

小题18:　D

解析　as if好像。

小题19:　B

解析　联系上文可知，作者对奶奶的看法已经转变。be proud of对……感到自豪；be sure of确信；be ashamed of以……为耻；be afraid of害怕。

小题20:　A

解析　作者希望奶奶永远不会知道自己原来对她的看法，不让她因此受到伤害。
