共享题干题 (二) My Parents' Change阅读材料，回答下列的问题。 My surprise over the past few winters has been the personality transformation my parents go through around mid December as they change from Dad and Morn into Grandpa and Grandma. Yes, they bee grandparents and are pletely different from the people I know the other eleven and a half months of the year. The first sign of my parents' change is the delight they take in visiting toy and children's clothing stores. These two people, who usually dislike anything having to do with shopping malls, bee crazy consumers. While they tell me to budget my money and shop wisely, they are buying up every doll and dump truck in sight. And this is only the beginning of the holidays! When my brother's children arrive, Grandpa and Grandma e into full form. First they throw out all ideas about a balanced diet for the grandkids. While we were raised in a house where everyone had to take two bites of corn, beets ( 甜菜 ) , or liver ( foods that appeared quite often on our table despite constant plaining ) , the grandchildren never have to eat anything that does not appeal to them. Grandma carries chocolate in her pockets to bribe ( 贿赂 ) the littlest ones into following her around the house, while Grandpa offers "surprises" of candy and cake to them all day long. Boxes of chocolate-pie disappear while the whole-wheat bread gets hard and stale. The kids love all the sweets, and when the sugar raises their energy levels, Grandma and Grandpa can always decide to leave and do a bit more shopping or go to bed while my brother and sister-in-law try to deal with their highly active kids. Once the grandchildren have arrived, Grandma and Grandpa also seem to forget all of the responsibility lectures I so often hear in my daily life. If Mickey screams at his sister during dinner, he is "developing his own personality" ; if Nancy breaks Grandma's mirror, she is "just a curious child" . But, if I track mud into thehouse while helping to unload groceries, I bee "careless"; if I scold one of the grandkids for tearing pages out of my textbook, I am "impatient." If Paula talks back to her mother, Grandma and Grandpa smile at her spirit. If I say one word about all of this excessive love, Morn and Dad reappear to have a talk with me about petty jealousies.1.[不定向选择题]What happens after the kids have had all the sweets ?A.They get highly energetic B.They quiet down. C.They want more sweets D.They go to bed. 2.[不定向选择题]"Personality transformation”, in the author's parents means that they____________A.have turned into loving parents B.have bee strict parents C.no longer care for the author D.used to believe in discipline for children

1.参考答案：A
参考解析：题干中问的是孩子们吃完所有糖果后发生的事。答案在文章第三段中，“The kids love all the sweets，and when the sugar raises their energy levels，Grandma and Grandpa can always decide to leave and do a bit more shopping or go to bed while my brother and sister-in-law try to deal with their highly active kids．”孩子们喜爱所有糖果，并且，当糖果使孩子们更加活跃时，爷爷和奶奶通常决定离开或者去买更多的东西回来，或者上床休息，而我的哥哥和嫂子就会尽力照顾他们仍然精力充沛的孩子们。B项与文章意思相反，C项在文中没有提到，D项是爷爷和奶奶的反应而不是孩子的，与题意不符，只有A项提到的“他们的精力更加充沛”才是孩子们吃完所有糖果后的反映，所以本题的正确答案为A。
2.参考答案：D
参考解析：从文章整体可以看出，父母对我和对他们孙子们的待遇完全不同。也是作者所要表达的父 母的个性转变，根据这个事实来选择，过去我经常受到父母的训诫，而父母却对他们的孙子们溺爱有加。A项、B项和C项所表述的与文章意思不符合。只有D项符合，所以选 D.3.[不定向选择题]Which of the following is NOT true of the visiting children ?A.They behave very well. B.They like chocolate very much. C.They receive toys from their grandparents. D.They are having a lot of fun.
