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，號召我們無論何時何地為了自己和他人的安全都要遵守交通規(guī)則。
小題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”。
小題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，意為“獨自的”。
小題3:由下文的作者剎車和交通常識可知紅燈亮了。
小題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。

小題10:由下文中的bed和 near midnight可知是晚上。
小題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，意為“回到……”。

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,完成下列表格,每空一詞。
The home of the future won’t be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy “house materials” containing moveable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still be done but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won’t disappear because machines can’t take the place of them. We will still have teachers because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home.
Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then hotels will move around the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centers on the moon with things needed for families.
There will be no paper in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to protect nature. E-newspapers and e-magazines will take the place of traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our re-useable paper.
As we know, the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future. This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists say that it will happen in five billion years. We will have to find another home. At sometime in the future far away, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another plant. There won’t be any other choice.
