1.

2.The young man（Peter） studied hard and did well in his lessons. It made them （Mr. and Mrs. Turner ）happy.可以得出，句意：彼特学习非常用功，并且成绩优异。这些让特纳夫妇很高兴。故选A.

3. D. 他儿子对人很友好 这两个选项。第三段第二，三，四句话的大意：在巴士上她告诉她的一个朋友，她的儿子是如何聪明，能力是多么的强。她说的声音很大，车上所有的人都开始听她讲。故选C.

4. ，她有一个如此出色且令人骄傲的儿子，在车上之所以讲那么大声，其实是为了炫耀。D.希望每个人都向她道贺。跟B选项相比，这个选项有点过于夸大了特纳女士的意图，所以B选项比较合理，故选B.

5. woman和Mrs Turner的对话可以排除A.C。D.特纳女士旁边的女人也想炫耀她的儿子。整篇文章都没有给出the woman的儿子到底是不是她所说的那个牛津大学的教授，所以D选项排除。C.那个女人想让特纳女士停止炫耀。比较符合常理和题意，故选C.
