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.36Why 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.37What 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.38The event made the author strongly believe that _.A. traffic rules may be unnecessaryB. doubting others is human natureC. patience is important to driversD. a society needs mutual trust39Why was the author proud of himself?A. He kept his promise.B. He held back his anger.C. He made a right decision.D. He followed his inclination【答案】36B37A38D39C【解析】试题分析：文章强调了人与人之间的信任。作者在一个无人的路口停下候车，他本可以闯红灯的，但作者没有那样做。回想起这件事，作者认为人与人之间是存在着相互信任的，这也是社会赖以运作的基础。36细节理解题。根据第一段“Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road and I became increasingly impatient”可知，作者有几次被一辆行驶缓慢的卡车挡住了车道，作者变得有点不耐烦了，故选B。37细节理解题。根据第二段“it turned red and I made a stop”可知，当信号灯变红时，作者停了下，故选A。38。根据第五段“Trust is our first inclination(倾向). .The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互) trust, not distrust.”可知，人们有相互信任的倾向，我们的社会依靠人们之间的相互信任才能运转良好，故选D。39细节理解题。根据最后一段“for stopping for the red light that night”可知，那天晚上，四周虽然没有车和行人，但作者还是停下候车了，作者庆幸自己遵守了交通规则，没有破坏人们之间的相互信任，故选C。考点：生活类短文阅读How Many Lies Do the Children Tell You?Mothers who feel their children dont appreciate them can add another grievance to the list half the time, their children are lying to them. A study designed to expose the truth about lying shows that undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46% of their conversations. Still, mums should feel better than total strangers, who are told lies an astonishing 77 % of the time.Bella Depaulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, asked 77 undergraduates to keep a record of all their conversations for a week, and write down whether they lied at any time. DePaulo named lying broadly, as "when you intentionally try to mislead someone", so she would catch the smallest of lies.The students told an average of two lies a day. They said they had been studying when they had been out drinking. One told his parents that a textbook cost $50 rather than $20 so that they would send him extra money. Female students constantly told their plain-looking roommates that they were pretty. "They are everyday lies," says DePaulo.DePaulo and her colleagues conclude that people tend to tell fewer lies to those they feel closest to. College students lied to their best friends 28% of the time but lied to acquaintances 48% of the time. In close relationships, people were more likely to tell "kind-hearted" lies, designed to protect feelings, rather than self-serving lies.Romantic（浪漫的）partners lie somewhere between close friends and acquaintances. Students lied to romantic partners about a third of the time. DePaulo thinks that unmarried lovers can expect less honesty than best friends because of the insecurity that comes with romance.Mothers can take heart from one other finding. They may have been lied to, but at least their children talked to them. The students were recorded telling few lies to their fathers because they had little interaction with them.40What is the meaning of the underlined word "grievance" in Paragraph 1?A. Belief. B. Opinion.C. Complaint. D. Difficulty.41According to the passage, college students felt closest to .A. mothers. B. best friendsC. acquaintances D. romantic partners42Female students lied to their roommates to .A. get money from them B. offer them the servicesC. gain more security D.
