Question

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
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 long 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 often hear stories of big families 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 scenery 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 guess she prepared 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, short trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to a local restaurant and ate the world's largest hamburger.

（4）A
【解析】本文通过讲述作者一家人每年一次驱车600英里去看望祖父母的故事，显示了大家庭之间的深厚感情，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。

⑴细节理解。根据第一段第二句and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This long 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。所以答案是D。

⑵推理判断。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。所以答案是C。

⑶推理判断。由最后两段可知，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。所以答案是A。

⑷推理判断。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。所以答案是A。
