本篇是逸闻趣事类的记叙文。主要介绍作者的奶奶是个伟大的女人，她出生于1919年，于2009年去世。她做了70年的教师。她在非洲教书多年．奶奶真的很喜欢教书。她还给作者讲故事。虽然她很老，但她能记住所有的事情，可能是因为她从来没有停止过工作和思考。

1.句意：尽管她没有活到100岁，但是人生过的很充实很好。

bad坏；terrible糟糕；good好的；careless粗心的，根据文章后面的描述，可以推断出作者的奶奶不断的思考和工作，人生过的很好很充实，故选C。

2.句意：她当了70年老师。

3.句意：然后她离开非洲搬到马来西亚。

考查动词。visited参观；left离开；stayed in留在家中；got to到达。分析句意“到了马来西亚”，可以判断此处是离开非洲，应该是"离开"。选B。

4.句意：当时，人们没有坐飞机旅行，所以她坐船旅行。

5.句意：那时候她从英国坐船去马来西亚花了三个月时间。

考查动词。四个选项都有花费的意思。spend.的主语必须是人。pay与for连用．sth．costs （sb．） +金钱，某物花了（某人）多少钱。It takes sb．+时间+to do sth．做某事花了某人多少时间。由It，及不定式to go…，可知，用take的过去式took花费。选D。

6.句意：这种新的交通工具使从英国到马来西亚的旅行比以前更快得多。

考查比较级。quicker更快；harder更难；worse更坏；safer更安全。根据上一句“In 1947, she traveled by plane for the first time.”“1947年，她第一次乘飞机旅行”。可知，应该是"更快"。选A。
