試題分析：本文大意：在英國到了十七歲才可開車，但是在開車前必須有一個特殊的兩年期駕照。可以不去駕校學開車，朋友也可以教你，但是只有有教師證的才可以收費，而且教你開車的人必須有一個全照。可以用自己的車參加考試，也可以考很多次試，時間不限定。1904年以前是任何人都可以開車的，1904年后才要求有駕照，到了1935年才必須參加考試。

 考查動詞。句意：在開始之前，你必須有一個兩年期的特殊駕照。start開始。根據語境可知是在開始開車前，故答案填start。

 考查副詞。句意：當你正在學開車的時候，因為不允許你獨自一人開車上路，所以必須有一個全照的人一直陪著你。alone獨自。根據someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you必須有一個全照的人一直陪著你，可知不是一人上路，故答案填alone 。

 考查動詞。句意：你不必去駕校學習，朋友可以教你。teach教。根據語境可知既然不必去語境學開車，那么朋友也是可以教你的，故答案填teach。

 考查名詞。句意：教你開車的人不允許收費，除非他有教師證。take the money收費。去駕校學開車是收費的，有教師證的教開車也可以收費，否則不能收費，故答案填money。

 考查形容詞。句意:你可以開自己的車參加考試，但是你的車必須適應路況。one’s own某人自己的。根據 but it has to be fit for the road但是你的車必須適應路況，可知不是統一的考試車， 故答案填own。

 考查動詞。句意：考試中你比必須駕車半個小時左右，然后回答幾個問題。answer回答。根據a few questions幾個問題，可知是回答， 故答案填answer。

 考查副詞。句意:如果你考試沒過，只要你想重考，幾周后你就可以再考。later以后。根據語境可知是幾周后可再考，故答案填later。

 考查名詞。句意:1970年，一位婦女在經過212次駕駛課后終于通過了她的第40次考試。fortieth第四十。根據after 212 driving lessons經過212次駕駛課后，上了這么多的課，考次次數也不止一次，故答案填fortieth。

 考查形容詞。句意：英國最老的司機是1974年一位100歲的男人。oldest最老的。根據in 1974 at the age of 1001974年一位100歲，可知是年紀最大的，故答案填oldest。

 考查形容詞。句意：但直到1935年他們才須參加考試。not until直到……才。根據Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license.1904年前任何人都可以開車，甚至是孩子。然后從1904年開始司機必須有駕照，可知考試是后來才有的，故答案填unitl。
