Recently, I read a magazine article stating that people tend to turn into their parents as they age. The 1 signs include complaining about the weather, choosing comfort over style in clothing, going to bed early, and repeating family recipes—like my mom's Sunday roast beef, a British tradition I once laughed at. 2, this usually starts at 45, but I am certain it doesn't 3 me, even though I'm 47.
I've always lived differently. My parents had a big house with a ping-pong table and 4 weekly tournaments(锦标赛); I rent a small flat near a recreation center for indoor tennis. Mom loved vegetable gardening, but I only grow flowers in small pots. I 5 camper-van trips (Dad's favorite) and Sunday roasts, nor do I 6 and suddenly wake up while watching TV or moan about rain when it delays.
My daughter disagreed when I showed her the article. "Mom, you're just like them," she said as I 7 more chocolate cake, citing calories. "Grandma always counted calories!" She also pointed out I use Mom's vintage teacups—ones I used to call "old-fashioned". Her words made me 8. Later, I noticed that a friend 9 her house with wallpaper like her mom's, and my sister 10 bought a ping-pong table for neighbors. I somehow caught myself humming Dad's favorite Tony Bennett songs.
It was then that I realized these similarities are actually rather 11. I found home's familiarity in Dad's cuckoo clock and Mom's split pea soup. So, instead of resisting, I learned to 12 this change. Last week, I even made Mom's roast beef—it tasted like 13. I guess I've unknowingly become a mini 14 of my parents, and I must admit: I don't just like it; I'm 15 for it.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者看到杂志上一篇文章说，人到年纪会越来越像父母，虽已47岁却坚信自己是例外，还细数和父母的种种不同。但在女儿的提醒下，作者逐渐发现自己身上早已出现父母的影子，最终领悟到这份相似的温暖，坦然接纳甚至感恩这份与父母的联结。
1. B 解析：上文提及人随着年龄增长会越来越像父母，下文“include complaining about the weather, choosing comfort over style in clothing, going to bed early, and repeating family recipes—like my mom's Sunday roast beef”列举的这些表现是这种现象的典型特征。故选B。
2. C 解析：根据上文“Recently, I read a magazine article stating that people tend to turn into their parents as they age.”可知，杂志文章的结论是一种普遍的理论说法，并非绝对的事实，作者以此为参照却坚信自己是例外。故选C。
3. A 解析：根据下文“even though I'm 47”可知，作者坚信自己不会出现文章中说的“越来越像父母”的情况，即认为这个结论不适用于自己。故选A。
4. B 解析：根据下文“weekly tournaments”可知，父母是在家举办乒乓球锦标赛。故选B。
5. D 解析：根据上文“Mom loved vegetable gardening, but I only grow flowers in small pots.”可知，作者一直在细数自己和父母的不同，此处指作者不喜欢父母的喜好。故选D。
6. A 解析：根据下文“suddenly wake up while watching TV”可知，此处指看电视时犯困打瞌睡。故选A。
7. B 解析：根据下文“citing calories”可知，作者因为在意卡路里而拒绝吃巧克力蛋糕。故选B。
8. C 解析：根据上文“Grandma always counted calories!”可知，女儿的话点醒了作者，让作者开始思考自己是否真的如自己所想，和父母毫无相似之处。故选C。
9. D 解析：根据下文“her house with wallpaper”可知，此处指用壁纸装饰房子，decorate... with...是固定搭配，意为“用……装饰……”。故选D。
10. A 解析：根据下文“bought a ping-pong table for neighbors”可知，作者发现身边人都开始出现像父母的迹象，姐姐买乒乓球桌的行为更是加深了这种感受。故选A。
11. C 解析：根据下文“I found home's familiarity in Dad's cuckoo clock and Mom's split pea soup.”可知，作者提到从父亲的布谷鸟钟和母亲的豌豆汤中感受到家的熟悉感，说明这种相似带来的是温暖、安心的感觉。故选C。
12. A 解析：根据上文“So, instead of resisting”可知，作者一直抗拒自己像父母的事实，而此刻领悟到相似的美好后，选择坦然接受。故选A。
13. B 解析：根据上文“even made Mom's roast beef”可知，妈妈的烤牛肉是作者儿时的味道，做这道菜吃到的不仅是美味，更是对过往时光和家人的回忆。故选B。
14. D 解析：根据上文“I guess I've unknowingly become a mini”以及下文“of my parents”可知，作者身上出现了越来越多父母的影子，就像是父母的一个迷你版本。故选D。
15. C 解析：根据上文“I don't just like it”可知，作者从抗拒到接纳，再到感受到这份相似带来的温暖和家的归属感，因此对自己变成父母的样子心怀感恩。故选C。
