A、2. B、12. C、4. D、6. B短文提到，每个学生总共要练6个小时的车。学生被分成每组4个人，他们和教练每次出去练车都是两个小时，故每个学生每次外出可练车半小时。要练够6小时，则总共需外出12次，故选B。其他选项的字数在录音中都能听到，但说的都

In America, driver’s education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.
    The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know. Driving time is a chance for the students to practise starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers required. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hours. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and the "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.
    Driver’s education cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.
