Last night, I was alone on the road, but when I     1     (drive) up to the light, it turned red, and I braked to a stop. Surprisingly, there was not a car, even no suggestion of headlights. But there I sat, waiting for the light to change. I was 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     2     (catch) by the police, because there was obviously no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it. Much later that night, the same question of why I had stop for that light came back to me. It isn't only the law, but an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights. Like most of us, I'm more ready     3     (stop) from doing something bad by the social agreement that disapproves of it than by any law against it.

2 . 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。

If you’ve recently taken a flight from a major UK airport, then you may have noticed that more people are protesting air travel expansion and encouraging people to fly less. This is part of a larger environmental movement sweeping across Europe. Known as Flygskam or “flight-shaming”, the movement is encouraging people to stop taking flights as a means of transport and use more environmentally friendly transportation where they can.

The aviation (航空) currently accounts for about 2% of global emissions (排放) and is one of the fastest-growing polluters. Even worse, unlike most other sources of pollution, air travel results in pollutants released high up in the atmosphere.

Earlier this year, the UK government promised to reduce the UK’s emissions to “net zero” by 2050. However, according to projections from some researchers, emissions from the aviation could more than double by then even if planes become substantially more fuel-efficient. So, it’s unclear whether flying will be included in the UK’s target.

It’s hard to say exactly how big the movement is becoming, but Flygskam has become popular in social media. The number of Swedes taking the train for domestic journeys has risen by 8% this year as plane journeys inside the country have fallen. Clearly, Flygskam is having a measurable impact on people’s transport choices. Some people, however, have been critical of the movement because they say that it places blame or feelings of embarrassment onto the passengers when it is really the airlines and industries associated with it who should feel guilty for the impact that they are having on the planet.
