【解析】

短文大意：作者是一個不太會使用手機(jī)的人，他給朋友打電話，打了三次對方才接，之后對方告訴他整個下午都不在家，但是他聽成了整個下午都在家，因此他就去了朋友家，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)根本就沒有人在家。

【1】句意：但我可能不知道怎么來使用它。根據(jù)前面內(nèi)容The mobile phone is a useful thing和后文內(nèi)容Sometimes it makes things difficult for me.可知作者不知如何使用手機(jī)，答案為how。

【2】句意：我可以在五分鐘內(nèi)到他家。因為是想去看朋友，所以應(yīng)該是到達(dá)朋友的家，arrive at表示到達(dá)，情態(tài)動詞could后面用動詞原形，故答案為arrive。

【3】句意：但我看了看我的手機(jī)，覺得給他打個電話更好。本題考查的是it作為形式主語的用法，真正的主語為后文的動詞不定式to ring him up，故答案為it。

【4】句意：我第一次給他打電話，但電話占線。for the first time第一次，前面提到給他打電話，由此可知此處表達(dá)的意思是給他打電話，故事發(fā)生在過去，所以用過去時，答案為rang。

【5】句意：然后我再試了一次，這次我得到了他的答復(fù)。this time I got an answer from him這一次他接電話了，第一次沒打通，第二次打錯了，所以用again表示再一次。

【6】句意：至少我以為他會說——他整個下午都在家。I thought he said我認(rèn)為他會說，因為是我期望的，所以應(yīng)該是我認(rèn)為他至少會說他整個下午都有空，at least表示“至少”，故答案為least。

【7】句意：但沒發(fā)現(xiàn)有人在里面。根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容I called him for the fourth time說明沒有人在家里，故選nobody。

【8】句意：這是他的答復(fù)。here be句型中，be動詞應(yīng)該根據(jù)主語來進(jìn)行選擇，又根據(jù)時態(tài)，由于故事發(fā)生在過去，所以用過去時，可知答案為was。
