　　參考答案

　　1．解析：引導時間狀語從句，“當我駛近紅綠燈的時候”。

　　答案：as/when

　　2．Not

　　3．解析：現在分詞作伴隨狀語。

　　答案：waiting

　　4．解析：為什么我不愿闖紅燈。

　　答案：why

　　5．解析：介詞后用動名詞，這里指“害怕被抓”， 用被動語態。

　　答案：being caught

　　6．解析：引導存在句。

　　答案：there

　　7．through

　　8．解析：同樣的問題，即“為什么我不愿闖紅燈”。

　　答案：same

　　9．解析：指前面提到的contract。

　　答案：it

　　10．解析：more...than是固定句型。

　　答案：than

　　二、

　　1．解析：通讀全篇，可知作者的朋友是一個特立獨行，但崇尚創造的人；而且是一個很有愛心、講環保的人。所以這里用claim“主張；聲稱”更恰當。

　　答案：B

　　2．解析：參考注釋1。他主張藝術家要創造時尚。

　　答案：D

　　3．解析：因此，藝術家的創造不能受潮流的影響。

　　答案：D

　　4．解析：追求獨特，因此從不把長發剪短。與前面的內容呼應。

　　答案：A

　　5．解析：正因為已經過時多年了，所以人們普遍認為在正式場合是不恰當的。generally“總的認為”不太符合語境。

　　答案：C

　　6．解析：這里指正式場合。

　　答案：A

　　7．解析：這里的前提是在正式的儀式上，所以人們關注的顯然是他的外表包括衣著。

　　答案：C

　　答案：C

　　10．解析：結合12題。有的人也與他一樣，對自然等有相同的強烈愛好，但是他的熱情卻是非同尋常的。

　　答案：A

　　13．解析：到超市買東西，總是把它們都裝到自己帶的袋子里，以便可以重復使用，而不用商場提供的不可降解的塑料袋。

　　答案：B

　　14．解析：參見13題解析。這種塑料袋在處理時會損壞環境。spoil“損壞”。

　　答案：B

　　15．解析：從后面的并列句的內容可以推知，之所以人們羨慕他，是因為“他的有時看上去有些怪的行為卻給人們帶來了好處。”
