Unluckily,that was the most of our 5 Spending several hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really frightened me.

Answer 1

l.D解析:20年來(lái)母親從來(lái)沒(méi)有得 到過(guò)罰單，所以是個(gè)出色的司機(jī)。

2. B解析：作為教練，母親的“友好 提示”只是讓“我”緊張不已。

3 . C 解析：drop “落下”;return “歸 還”;place “放”;start “開始”。自從母親不當(dāng)“我”教練后，這個(gè)任務(wù)就由父親接管。

5. B解析:指像前面提到的問(wèn)答式的對(duì)話。

6. C解析:學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程中漸漸有了變化。change “改變”。

10. D解析：此處用quiet (安靜的) 來(lái)指代“父母不和我交流”這種現(xiàn)實(shí)。其真正原因是“我”忙于作業(yè)、交友、看電視，忽視了父親的存在。
