B
Lots of people learn to drive when they reach an adult age. However, I never got around to it. But now, in my 50s, I think it's time to do it. One morning last summer, I decided to learn to drive. Although my friends told me I was too old, I just wanted to challenge myself. If I never take action, how can I succeed?
I felt excited when I began my first driving class. But the excitement only lasted for about three minutes. Every time the car picked up speed, I felt nervous and I didn't know what to do. "Don't be nervous, or we'll be in danger," said Jason, my instructor. But I couldn't control my feelings. I hit my head against the steering wheel(方向盘)as soon as the class was over. And I didn't realize I had sounded my horn(喇叭)until Jason told me.
Three months later, Jason asked me to drive on the real roads. I looked forward to it, but I was a bit scared. Soon I found many cars were driving behind us. Jason told me to speed up. I held my breath and followed Jason's advice. The more I practiced, the easier driving got.
Finally, the test was coming. The night before the big day, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep well. To be honest, I was afraid to fail, but finally I passed the exam. When Jason told me the news, I felt so proud of myself. And I realized that it's never too old to learn. What should I learn next?

【分析】
这是一篇人物故事类阅读理解，解题时可按如下思路推进：首先浏览全部题干，明确各题考点，再带着题干关键词回原文精准定位找对应依据：细节题直接锁定原文匹配语句判断正误；词义猜测题结合前后文语境推导短语含义；情感排序题顺着文章叙事的先后顺序，逐段标记作者对应的情绪状态，再梳理先后顺序；主旨句意理解题结合全文的故事内核判断句子传递的核心表意，排除不符合文意的干扰选项，最终选出正确答案。
【解析】
6. 细节理解题：定位原文第一段"Although my friends told me I was too old, I just wanted to challenge myself"，可知作者决定学车的目的是挑战自我，A“告诉朋友”、B“实现梦想”、D“只是为了好玩”均不符合原文表述，因此选C。
7. 词义猜测题：划线短语所在句前文提到很多人成年后就去学车，后文说明作者直到50多岁才开始学车，可知此前他一直没有腾出时间去做学车这件事，"Have time for"含义为“腾出时间做某事”，A“意识到”、B“喜欢”、C“为……奋斗”均不符合语境，因此选D。
8. 情感排序题：按照文章叙事顺序梳理作者的情绪变化：刚开始第一节课时感到兴奋（③excited）→车加速后感到紧张（④nervous）→要开上真实道路时感到害怕（①scared）→考试前一晚十分担忧（⑤worried）→通过考试后为自己感到骄傲（②proud），顺序为③→④→①→⑤→②，对应选项C。
9. 细节判断题：逐一比对选项：A选项作者50多岁才开始学车，并非刚成年长大就学习，表述错误；B选项作者是去年夏天决定学车，并非今年夏天，表述错误；C选项原文提到作者直到教练提醒才意识到自己按了喇叭，之前并没有察觉，表述错误；D选项原文明确说明作者最终通过了驾考，表述正确，因此选D。
10. 句意理解题："it's never too old to learn"是经典谚语“活到老，学到老”，作者通过自己年过半百仍成功考取驾照的经历，想要鼓励读者无论年龄多大都可以开启学习，B“建议读者都去学车”、C“期待大家跟他学开车”、D“展示个人成就”均不符合句子的表意目的，因此选A。
