 If you give it an argument (other than file),
 you are modifying is default behavior.

man pages for unzip
Info-ZIP Last change: 3 November 1997 (v5.32) 
NAME
     unzip - list, test and extract compressed  files  in  a  ZIP
     archive
SYNOPSIS
     unzip     [-Z]     [-cflptuvz[abjnoqsCLMVX$]]     file[.zip]
     [file(s) ...]  [-x xfile(s) ...] [-d exdir]
DESCRIPTION
     unzip will list, test, or extract files from a ZIP  archive.
                            ^^
/* If it lists, it is NOT testing nor extracting. */

     The  default  behavior  (with no options) is to extract into
     the current directory  (and  subdirectories  below  it)  all
     files  from the specified ZIP archive.  A companion program,
     zip  (available   from   http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/),
     creates  ZIP  archives;  both  programs  are compatible with
     archives created by PKWARE's PKZIP and PKUNZIP  for  MS-DOS,
     but  in  many cases the program options or default behaviors
     differ.
...
-v   be verbose or  print  diagnostic  version  info.   This
          option  has  evolved  and now behaves as both an option
          and a modifier.  As an  option  it  has  two  purposes:
          when  a  zipfile is specified with no other options, -v
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          lists archive files verbosely, adding to the  basic  -l
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          info  the compression method, compressed size, compres-
          sion ratio and 32-bit CRC.  When no zipfile  is  speci-
          fied  (that  is, the complete command is simply ``unzip
          -v''), a diagnostic screen is printed.  In addition  to
          the  normal header with release date and version, unzip
          lists the home Info-ZIP ftp site and where  to  find  a
          list of other ftp and non-ftp sites; the target operat-
          ing system for which it was compiled, as well as  (pos-
          sibly)  the hardware on which it was compiled, the com-
          piler and version used, and the compilation  date;  any
          special  compilation  options  that  might  affect  the
          program's operation (see also  DECRYPTION  below);  and
          any  options stored in environment variables that might
          do the same (see  ENVIRONMENT  OPTIONS  below).   As  a
          modifier  it  works  in  conjunction with other options
          (e.g., -t) to produce more verbose or debugging output;
          this is not yet fully implemented but will be in future
          releases.

Try:

# unzip filename.ext
