【解析】作者常常为奶奶感到羞愧，但发生的一件事使作者对奶奶的看法发生了根本性的改变。

【1】C be ashamed of “感到羞愧”，是固定搭配。

【2】A 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。admit承认；receive接受；refuse拒绝；show展示。

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

【4】D 根据句意可知此处应为否定的语气。hardly几乎不；因为作者对此事已经习以为常，故没有引起重视。

【5】B 根据动词的用法可排除A、C；再根据后文内容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。

【6】D 此处作者应为恳求的语气。beg请求，恳求；warn警告；demand要求，需求；advise建议。

【9】D 根据常识可知，买汉堡应该买已经做好的，而奶奶却让他们做一个“巨无霸”汉堡。

【10】A 根据前面的but可知，作者的态度应与Jill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，均不符合语境；此处用die表示作者十分生气失望的心情。

【11】D 作者希望把奶奶藏起来，不让奶奶出来引起麻烦。

【12】C inconvenient不便利，不方便的，主语不能为人，故排除；结合语境可知父母不希望让奶奶感到在家里不受欢迎。

【13】A 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。

【14】A 根据第17个空后面的interviewing可知答案。

【15】B 根据下文第16个空后面的experience可知此处填lives“生活，经历”。

【16】C be rich in...富有……。

【17】B 作者在全体师生面前采访奶奶，让她讲述自己的经历应在舞台上。on show展览，on duty在上班，on time按时。

【18】D as if好像。

【19】B 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，pride搭配不对，be afraid of...害怕……。
