试题分析：【主旨大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过作者没有闯红灯这件事，告诉我们“无规矩不成方圆”的道理，并号召我们无论何时何地为了自己和他人的安全都要遵守交通规则。

【1】选A。逻辑推理题。由上文中的late可知天已黑，作者回家晚了，故可推断开车加速，故选A项，意为“迅速地”。

【2】选B。细节理解和逻辑推理题。由下文中的 Nothing, Not和no可推知作者一个人，故答案选B项，意为“独自的”。

【3】选C。细节理解题。由下文 中的stop和交通常识可知红灯亮了。

【4】选D。细节理解题。由下文中的 waiting for the light可知虽然路上什么都没有，“可是”作者依然停下车等候。

【5】选B。逻辑推理题。根据上文可知红灯亮了，所以作者停下来等交通灯变绿后通行，故答案选B项，意为“改变”。

【6】选C。细节理解题。由上文中的 a mile可知指的是“距离”，故答案选C项。

【7】选A。逻辑推理题。由下文I was not afraid of being caught可知作者不害怕被逮住，故可推知“作者想知道自己为什么没有闯红灯呢？”，故答案选A项，意为“拒绝”。

【8】选D。逻辑推理题。由上文可知作者“不害怕被逮住”可推知是“因为清楚周围没有警察”，故答案选D项，意为“清晰地；清楚地”。

【9】选A。逻辑推理题。由上文可知没有警察，故可推知“闯红灯”就没有“被逮住”的“危险”了，故答案选A项。

【10】选B。细节理解题。由下文中的bed和 near midnight可知是晚上。

【11】选D。细节理解题。根据上文中的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”作者思考的是同样的问题，故答案选D项，意为“回到……”。
