【解析】

文章主旨大意:本文是一篇議論文。文章通過作者沒有闖紅燈這件事,號召我們無論何時(shí)何地為了自己和他人的安全都要遵守交通規(guī)則。

1.由上文中的late可知天已黑,作者回家晚了,可推知開車加速,fast意為“迅速地”。

2.由下文“Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights”可推知作者一個人,故答案選B項(xiàng),意為“獨(dú)自的”。

3.由下文的作者剎車和交通常識可知紅燈亮了。

4.由下文中的waiting for the light可知雖然路上什么都沒有,“可是”作者依然停下車等候。

5.考查根據(jù)上文可知紅燈亮了,所以作者停下來等交通燈變綠后通行,故答案選B項(xiàng),意為“改變”。

6.由上文中的a mile可知指的是“距離任何方向”,in any direction 指“任何方向”。

7.由下文“I was not afraid of being caught ”故可推知“作者想知道自己為什么沒有闖紅燈呢?”,故答案選A項(xiàng),意為“拒絕”。

8.由上文可知作者“不害怕被逮住”可推知是“因?yàn)榍宄車鷽]有警察”,故答案選D項(xiàng),意為“清晰地;清楚地”。

9.考查由上文可知沒有警察,故可推知“闖紅燈”就沒有“被逮住”的“危險(xiǎn)”了,故答案選A項(xiàng)。

10.由下文中的bed和 near midnight可知是晚上。

11.根據(jù)上文中的I started wondering why I rufused to run the light和 the question of why I’d stopped for that light可知“晚上”作者思考的是同樣的問題,故答案選D項(xiàng),意為“回到……”。

12.由下文It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have可知作者之所以停下來的“原因”是這是彼此之間的一份承諾,故答案選C項(xiàng),意為“因?yàn)椤薄?nbsp;

13.由下文we don’t go through red lights可知這是“一條”交通規(guī)則,故答案選B項(xiàng),相當(dāng)于the rule。

14.what連接的從句,在句中作動詞do的賓語。

15.聯(lián)系上下文可推知作者為自己沒有在任何監(jiān)督的情況下能自覺遵守交通規(guī)則而感到“自豪”,故答案選C項(xiàng),意為“驕傲的;自豪的”。
