【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文中的巴頓先生喜歡按時看一個電視節(jié)目，但是有一天因為接待了一位客戶，不得不匆忙趕回家。在回家的路上發(fā)現(xiàn)油不多了，在加油時又忘記了付款，最后被要求回去付款，看來電視節(jié)目是看不成了。

1.聯(lián)系下文，可知此處指的是他最喜歡的電視節(jié)目，故選A，最喜歡的。

2.聯(lián)系下文get home in time if I hurry,”描述，可知此處指的是他喜歡適時到家看哪個節(jié)目。短語in time及時，適時。故選B，時間。

3.聯(lián)系下文描述，可知他認(rèn)為，只要自己趕進(jìn)，仍能及時到家。故選D，仍舊。

4.聯(lián)系前一句描述，可知此處指的是他沖出辦公室。Rush out沖出，匆匆出去。故選D，沖，闖。

5.動詞辨析。A. 觀察；B. 注意；C.思考，認(rèn)為；D. 建議，勸告。結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是他注意到車快沒油了。故選B。

6.聯(lián)系下文he used to complain.描述，可知此處指的是他討厭在這個加油站加油，故選A。憎恨，討厭。

7.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是，你自己做所有的事情，但是付一樣的錢。故選B。

8.動詞辨析。take 用于 it takes sb ... to do sth句型，僅指花費時間（three hours等），必須用it作形式主語，指代下文不定式內(nèi)容；spend用于sb spend...on sth或者sb spend...in doing sth（in可以省略），spend的主語必須是人，可以指花費時間、也可以指花費金錢；cost用于 sth costs sb sth，主語必須是物，多指花費金錢，少數(shù)情況可指花費時間、氣力，有時表示成本的消耗；spare節(jié)約，省出。結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是加油花了很多時間，本句中it做形式主語，故選C。

9.聯(lián)系下文，可知此處指的是他盡力把注意力投入到電視上，短語pay attention to注意，故選C，支付，償還。

10.聯(lián)系下文And the voice went on.描述，可知此處指的是電話中的人說，結(jié)合語境可知無法判斷男女，故選D，一個嗓音。

11.動詞辨析。A.丟失；B. 留下，忘記；C. 忘記；D.毀壞。結(jié)合語境可知句意為：是我忘了什么東西還是什么事？英語中一般用leave表示忘記某物，故選B。

12.名詞辨析。A.麻煩，煩惱；B. 擔(dān)心，煩惱；C. 借口，理由；D. 原因。結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是麻煩事，故選A。

13.動詞辨析。A. 記得，想起；B. 看見，理解，領(lǐng)會；C.做；D. 駕駛。聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處指的是你明白我的意思嗎？故選B。

14.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是這是一個誤會，故選A，錯誤，誤會。

15.聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是讓他回去付錢。故選B，轉(zhuǎn)向，轉(zhuǎn)動。

考點：故事類記述文

點評：這篇短文內(nèi)容比較簡單，理解不難。各小題與上下文聯(lián)系比較緊密，答題中一定要注意聯(lián)系上下文。答完后多讀幾遍，看看是否符合邏輯，適當(dāng)修改。個別小題可以當(dāng)作單獨的詞義辨析題來做，先區(qū)分詞義，結(jié)合語境選出最能使語句通順的答案。
