1．B考查动词．根据第一句话"drivers'education is part of the regular high school curriculum"司机的教育是学校课程一部分可知，每个学生都要参加该课程的学习．
2．D考查名词．course此处是课程的意思，虽然是学校的科目，但是和其他课程还是有区别的．
3．C考查形容词．unlike other courses，所以其他课程都是在有规律的定期的学年，而司机教育课程是在暑假期间．
4．B考查名词．此处考查固定表达 laws and regulations 意思是法律规章制度．
5．A 考查名词．根据上句class time for learning laws 可知，学生学习基本法律知识．
6．C考查名词．they must know to pass the written driving test 学生参加笔试的驾驶考试目的就是为了获得驾驶执照．
7．C考查动词．所填部分required to drive a car是过去分词短语做后置定语修饰前面的名词．两者之间是被动关系．
8．B考查名词．根据后文的driving for two-hour blocks of time可知，每个学生总共要求驾驶6小时的时间．
9．C考查名词． the other three students sit in the back．这句暗示教练和司机是坐在前面的．
10．B考查名词．上文提到The instructor and"driver"sit in前面坐着教练，所以一个刹车应该是教练控制的．
11．A考查名词．the instructor can take over教练可以控制，说明学生应该是遇到了困难．
12．D考查形容词．后句On the top of the car…说明教练车是比较特殊的．special意思是特殊的，符合语境．
 13．A考查动词．On the top of the car is a sign that在车顶有一块标记，上面写着…此处需要reads，意思是标记上写的内容．
14．A考查形容词．根据后文because the student driver is a beginning driver可知，学员是个新手，所以其他的司机要格外小心．
15．D考查副词．此处slowly意思是速度慢的，用来修饰新学员开车的状态符合语境．
