Answer 1

1. happened           has been                       driving                  2. to disrespect
3. not to see          4. taking                       buying                  5. hitting
6. doesn’t go          will

1.      since引導的時間從句通常用一般過去時，主句通常用完成時態，介詞of后跟動名詞，故本題空格處填happened，has been，driving。
2.      本題的含義為我并不是有意要不尊重你，mean to do表示有益做某事的含義，故本題空格處填to disrespect。
3.      pretend not to do sth表示假裝不做某事的含義，故本題空格處填not to see。
4.      spend+時間+doing表示某人花費多長時間做某事的含義，considering doing sth表示考慮做某事的含義，故本題空格處填taking，buying。
5.      avoid doing sth表示避免做某事的含義，故本題空格處填hitting。
6.      本句回答語的含義為如果Emmy不去，我也不去，if后跟將來使用一般現在時，故否定形式用didn’t，表示和另一個一樣不做某事可用neither+助動詞+人稱，本題回答語主句為將來時，結構為will+動詞原形，故助動詞為will，故本題空格處填doesn’t go，will。
