My brother started learning to drive when he is eighteen. At first, Dad taught him what to drive. Dad was not patient for him, and he always shouted at his brother when he made mistakes. So he had decided to go to a driving school. Learning to drive weren't especially easy or difficult, but he enjoyed it. Unfortunate, he failed his test first time, but he passed it later. He told me that he didn't feel proud or exciting. He said he was just happy when it was finishing.

【解析】第一处：考查时态。由下文可知，该文介绍的是发生在过去的事情。故该空应用过去进行时态，不可用现在进行时态。

第二处：考查特殊疑问词。句意：一开始，父亲教给他如何驾驶。what意为“什么”，“how”意为“如何”。

第三处：考查介词。be patient with sb.意为“对某人有耐心”，是固定搭配。

第四处：考查代词。该处指作者的父亲经常冲着作者的哥哥大喊大叫，故应将his改为my。

第五处：考查时态。句意：“我”的哥哥决定去驾校学习。该句陈述的是过去的情况，用一般过去时态即可。故had多余，应去掉。

第六处：考查主谓一致。learning to drive是动名词做主语，动名词做主语视为单数，故根据主谓一致原则，应将weren’t 改为wasn’t。

第七处：考查副词。unfortunately是副词，修饰整个句子。

第八处：考查冠词。first是序数词，需和定冠词连用。

第九处：考查形容词。exciting意为“令人兴奋的”，形容事物的特点性质。excited意为“兴奋的”，形容人的感受情绪。该句主语为he，表示作者哥哥的感受，故应将exciting改为excited。

第十处：考查被动语态。it和finish之间是被动关系，故该句应用被动语态。finishing改为finished。

【名师点拨】被动语态是语法填空或者短文改错中的常考点。被动语态的常见表达形式为be done。主语和谓语动词之间是被动关系时，那么该句就要用被动语态。同学们一定要注意动词的词性，千万不要仅仅根据汉语意思来判断主语和谓语动词的主被动关系。例如,像belong，appear，listen, go, come等词都是不及物动词，这些动词一般都不用于被动语态。
