【解析】

试题分析：这是两个人的电话对话，爱丽丝给布朗先生打电话请假，送儿子去华盛顿参加歌唱比赛。

【1】if/whether 考查宾语从句引导词。句子意思为：我现在打电话是要问你我今天下午能否请假。是否：whether/if,引导宾语从句，故答案为：whether/if。

【2】But 考查连词。句子意思为：当然可以，但是你能告诉我是什么事吗？转折关系，用转折连词But。

【3】competition 考查名词。句子意思为：我儿子要去参加明天在华盛顿举行的歌唱比赛。用名词作宾语，所以填名词competition。

【4】him 考查代词。句子意思为：所以你想开车带他去那儿？ 这里指代的是她儿子，用代词him指代，作take的宾语。

【5】will drive考查动词时态。句子意思为：我一安排好他的住宿，我就开车回来。用一般将来时，故填will drive。

【6】tiring 考查形容词。修饰journey，表示“太累人的行程”，指“令人劳累的”，用ing形式形容词，填tiring。

【7】to travel考查非谓语动词。考查句式结构“It will take/takes/took sb some time to do”，其中，it是形式主语，后面用不定式作真正主语，故填to travel.

【8】classes考查名词。根据上下文可知这里要表达的意思是：但是我有两节课。class：课，用复数形式，故填classes。

【9】instead 考查副词。根据理解，句子意思为：我会告诉玛丽，让她代替你上课。instead：代替，故填instead。

【10】a 考查冠词。have a good journey为固定句式，表示“祝你旅途愉快！”用不定冠词a。
