Question

【题目】My parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This geographic distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation.

Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would routinely hear stories of extended families(大家庭) regularly spending time with one another, fishing at "grandpa’s" house or going over to "grandma’s" for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong.

We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when the day came, the entire family would pile into our car at four o’clock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the landscape(风景) changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world.

Every trip to see my grandparents can’t be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could bet she fixed her grandsons’ favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, neat scenic trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to go to a local restaurant and eat the world’s largest hamburger.

【解析】

试题分析：本文通过记叙作者与祖父母之间的深厚感情告诉我们：距离并不能隔开亲情，不能阻断祖父母和孙子(女)之间的爱。

【1】D 细节理解题。由第一段中的“we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This geographic distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year”可知，因为距离遥远，所以作者他们很少去看望祖父母。故D选项正确。

【2】C 推理判断题。由第一段可知，作者他们不能经常到祖父母家去。所以，当听到其他同学谈论和祖父母在一起的事情时，作者内心对他们很羡慕。C选项正确。

【3】A推理判断题。由最后两段“We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days...Every trip to see my grandparents can’t be without bringing delight”可知，每次去看祖父母，作者总是很期待，很高兴。故可推知，当他们见到祖父母时，他们很兴奋。A选项正确。

【4】A推理判断题。由第三段中的“our love for them remained deep and strong”可知，因为距离问题，作者不能经常去看望祖父母。但是，作者仍然深深地爱着自己的祖父母。每次去看祖父母时，作者总是很期待，很兴奋。由此可以推知，距离并不能隔开亲情，不能阻断祖父母和孙子(女)之间的爱。故A选项正确。
