【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。在回家的路上發現油不多了，在加油時又忘記了付款，最后被要求回去付款，看來電視節目是看不成了。

1.聯系下文，可知此處指的是他最喜歡的電視節目，故選A，最喜歡的。

2.聯系下文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目。短語in time及時，適時。故選B，時間。

3.聯系下文描述，可知他認為，只要自己趕進，仍能及時到家。故選D，仍舊。

4.聯系前一句描述，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，認為；D. 建議，勸告。結合語境可知此處指的是他注意到車快沒油了。故選B。

6.聯系下文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，少數情況可指花費時間、氣力，有時表示成本的消耗；spare節約，省出。結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.聯系下文And the voice went on.描述，可知此處指的是電話中的人說，結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. 擔心，煩惱；C. 借口，理由；D. 原因。結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，領會；C.做；D. 駕駛。聯系前文描述，可知此處指的是你明白我的意思嗎？故選B。
