Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2012·高考大纲全国卷Ⅰ)Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around，and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don’t go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination(倾向)．Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust.We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。在天色已晚且多次堵车的情况下作者仍能遵守交通规则。事后，作者反思自己做出这一决定的原因：互相信任是人的第一倾向，人与人之间的信任是我们整个社会建设的基础……他为自己的决定而自豪。
1．Why did the author get impatient while driving?
A．He was lonely on the road.
B．He was slowed down by a truck.
C．He got tired of driving too long.
D．He came across too many traffic lights.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left，and I became increasingly impatient.可知“我”多次被一辆行驶缓慢的卡车挡在后面，加上天色已晚，故而变得焦躁不安，所以B项正确。
2．What was the author’s immediate action when the traffic light turned red?
A．Stopping still.
B．Driving through it.
C．Looking around for other cars.
D．Checking out for traffic police.
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的I was alone on the road by now，but as I drove near the light，it turned red and I made a stop.可知，当交通信号灯变成红色时，作者停下了车，所以A项符合语境。
3．The event made the author strongly believe that ________.
A．traffic rules may be unnecessary
B．doubting others is human nature
C．patience is important to drivers
D．a society needs mutual trust
解析：选D。总结归纳题。根据倒数第二段和倒数第三段的叙述可以看出，作者相信我们的社会是一个契约社会，社会生活的正常运行靠的是人们的相互信任。所以D项正确。
4．Why was the author proud of himself?
A He kept his promise.
B．He held back his anger.
C．He followed his inclination.
D．He made a right decision.
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.可知，作者为那天晚上停了车而感到自豪。既然感到自豪，作者一定坚信自己做了一个正确的决定，故选D项。
