试题分析：本文叙述了在英国人们在17岁就可以开车，在你开始驾车之前你必须得到一个两年的驾照，当你学习驾驶的时候，有个正式驾照的人必须和你始终在一起，因为你不允许独自开车上路。你不必上驾校学习驾驶，朋友可以帮助你，最后你可以用你自己的车考试。如果你没有通过考试，几周过后你可以再参加考试。

1.1】句意：在你开始驾车之前你必须得到一个两年的驾照。根据You have to get a special two—year driving license 可知这里指开始，故用start。

2.2】句意：当你学习驾驶的时候，有个正式驾照的人必须和你始终在一起，因为你不允许独自开车上路。这里根据When you are learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you 可知这里指到是独自，故用alone。

3.3】句意：你不必上驾校，朋友可以帮助你。根据You don't have to go to a driving school 可知这里是教驾驶到意思，故用teach。

4.4】句意：教你的人不允许收钱除非他已经取得了教师执照。这里take the money for sth为某事而收费，故用money。

5.5】句意：你可以在你自己的车里考试。表示某人自己到用one’s own +名词，故用own。

6.6】句意：在考试中，你必须开车半个小时然后回答几个问题。这里answer a few questions 回答几个问题，故用answer。

7.7】句意：如果你没有通过考试，你愿意的话，几周过后你可以再参加考试。这里是时间段+later多长时间之后，故用later。

8.8】句意：在1970年一个妇女在学了212个驾照课程之后通过了第40次考试。这里根据test 是单数可知这里应该用序数词，故用fortieth。

9.9】句意：英国最老的司机是1974年的100岁老人。根据in 1974 at the age of 100可知应是最老的，故用oldest。
