【解析】
試題分析：文章講述作者過去曾因為年邁的奶奶言行舉止有些怪異而感到恥辱，后來奶奶有機會站在學校舞臺講述自己的經歷并深受歡迎，從而作者對奶奶的看法發生了根本性的改變。
1.C根據第一句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雖然這種事情說出來不好，但卻是一個事實，作者不得不承認。admit承認； receive收到，接收；refuse拒絕；show展示。
3.C后文所列舉的例子，是作者認為由奶奶引起的麻煩事。另外后文沒有出現作者與Katy爭吵，故排除A；quarrel吵架,accident事故 ；trouble麻煩；adventure冒險。
4.D 根據上文I was so used to seeing them的句意及下文but轉折可知此處應為否定的語氣。already已經；always總是；simply簡單地，只是；hardly幾乎不。故選D
5.B根據動詞的用法可排除A、C；再根據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。enjoying喜歡，享受；pretending假裝；imagining享受 ；continuing繼續。
6.D 上下文串聯。從上文get down on my knees（雙膝跪下），可以推斷作者是懇求語氣，beg sb to do sth乞求某人做某事。 其他三項Warn警告；demand；要求advise建議均不符合題意。
7.B上下文串聯。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 聯系上下文可知，作者意識到奶奶會引起很多不愉快的事情。expect盼望,期待；declare宣告，宣稱；realize意識到；doubt懷疑.
9.D根據常識可知，買漢堡包應該買已經做好的，而奶奶卻讓他們做一個“巨無霸”漢堡包。. Because of因為；Except for 除了；Such as比如說；Instead of代替，而不是。
10.A 根據前文but 可知，作者的態度應與弟弟的態度相反，再結合作者對奶奶的態度可排除B項cheer使振奮，使歡呼；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。
11.D作者希望把奶奶藏起來，不讓奶奶出來引起麻煩。 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。Independent獨立的；inconvenient不方便的；unwelcome不受歡迎的；unfamiliar不熟悉的。
13.A此處為本文的轉折點，根據下文可知，作者對奶奶的看法發生了根本性的改變。finish結束；stop停止； prepare準備；changed改變。
14.A原詞復現。 根據52個空后面的interview 可知答案。. Interview面試，采訪；report 報道； tell告訴；write寫。
15.B根據下文51空后面的rich in experience 可知此處lives 為生活、經歷。news 消息； lives生命advantages優點，長處 achievements成就。
16.C 根據49個空前面My teacher told us to help find interesting old people… 的可知此處應選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，讓她講述自己的經歷，應在舞臺上。on show在展覽；on stage在舞臺上；on duty 在上班；on time按時。

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter（痛苦的） about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?
A．He was silent most of the time. B．He was too proud of himself.
C．He did not love his children. D．He expected too much of her.
2.When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel .
A．nervous B．sorry C．tired D．safe
3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
A．More critical. B．More talkative
C．Gentle and friendly. D．Strict and hard-working.
4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to .
A．the author’s son B．the author’s father
C．the friend of the author’s father D．the café owner

下面文章中有4處需要添加小標題。請從以下選項（A、B、C、D和E）中選出符合各段意思的小標題, 選項中有一項是多余選項。
A. Early to Bed, Early to Rise
B. Read Challenging Books
C. Relax yourself
D. Minimize Television Watching
E. Take Time to Reflect
Five Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence
Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus.
Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.
1. __________-This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.
When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.
Exercise- I used to think that I'd learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated（精力充沛）and can concentrate more easily.
2. __________-Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren't mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.
3. __________-Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You'll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic（無精打采）and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity（敏銳）all day.
If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.
4. __________-Often our lives get so hectic that we become overwhelmed without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and prioritize your responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what's important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less encumbered.
Conclusion-I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I've proposed are revolutionary. But simple, unexciting answers are often the most valid. The challenge is having the will to adhere to them. If you succeed in following these 5 tips, you’ll be rewarded with increased mental acuity and retention of knowledge.

I like eating fruit and vegetables what are of great benefit to our healthy. Not only do they prevent us from falling into ill, but they help us lose weight. I used to hate vegetables, but follow the doctor’s advice, I gradually kicked the bad habit. Just as an old saying going, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. However, there are still many children dislike fruit and vegetables. On contrary, influenced by this or that kind of advertisement, many were crazy about junk food. Consequently, they become weaker and weaker instead of getting strong. In my opinion, we must take action to change them.

Every country has its own culture.
Even though each country uses doors, doors may have 50 functions and purposes which lead to 51 differences.
When I first came to America, I noticed that a public building had two different 52 and they had distinct functions. You have to push the door with the word “ PUSH ” to go out of the building and to pull the door with the word “PULL” to 53 the building. This was new to me, because we use the 54 door in South Korea. For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed.
The way of using school bus doors was also 55 to me. I used to take the school bus to school. The school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back door. Students who were getting off the bus should get off first, and students who were getting on should get on 56 in South Korea. We do not need to wait for people to 57 . One morning I hurried to the bus, and when the bus doors opened, I 58 tried to get on the school bus through the front door. All the students around looked at me. I was totally 59 , and my face went red.
