Ⅰ.阅读理解
Back in April 1939 and armed with $5,000 provided by the Rockefeller Foundation, professor Frank Cyr at Teachers College, Columbia University took a tour of ten states to make the research about school transportation problems.What he found was that many students had no dependable way to get to school and the ones who did often travelled in unsafe buses in the over 100,000 school areas.
Seeing a need to fix this problem, Cyr organised a meeting—one that would change the future of school buses forever.School officials and transportation experts met to set muchneeded standards for buses, including those for colour, height and width as well as safety rules that hadn't been set before or that were different in every state.
There were many different bus colours in the US before this meeting; several areas even planned to have red,white and blue buses as a way of encouraging students to love their country.Cyr presented his new choice to education officials, a reported “50 shades (色度) changing from lemon yellow to deep orange red”.The matter was settled quickly.Yellow, or “National School Bus Glossy Yellow”, was chosen because it was quite striking ,making the school bus easy to be seen.Besides, it made the bold (黑体的), black writing on the side of each bus clear.(The bold, black writing gives information about each school area, telling students which school bus they could take during early morning and late afternoon hours.) Thirtyfive states made the changes quickly, and every state took them on board by 1974.
Being recognised as the “father of the yellow school bus”, Frank Cyr has surely influenced your life if you ever rode a school bus or saw that noticeable colour pulling up to your stop on a dusky morning.
1.What did Frank Cyr find about the school buses in the US?
A.Funny. B.Surprising.
C.Disappointing. D.Reliable.
2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Who attended the meeting.
B.Why the meeting was held.
C.What was settled in the meeting.
D.What was discussed in the meeting.
3.What does the underlined word “striking” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Soft. B.Bright.
C.Natural. D.Beautiful.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Why school buses in the US are yellow.
B.How school buses developed in the US.
C.How students in the US recognised school buses.
D.Why there are school buses for students in the US.

1.C [推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句What he found was that many students had no dependable way to get to school and the ones who did often travelled in unsafe buses in the over 100,000 school areas.可知,弗兰克发现很多学生没有可靠的上学方式,即使有,学生们经常乘坐的也是不安全的公交车。由此可推知,弗兰克发现美国的校车是令人失望的。故选C项。]
2.D [主旨大意题。根据第二段中的School officials and transportation experts met to set muchneeded standards for buses...可知,第二段主要介绍了会议上讨论的内容。故选D项。]
3.B [词义猜测题。根据画线词后的making the school bus easy to be seen可知,黄色被选作校车的颜色,是为了使校车容易被看见,由此可推知,striking在此处意为“鲜艳夺目的”。故选B项。]
4.A [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文从弗兰克对校车安全性的担忧引入,之后介绍了为解决校车问题召开的会议及选择校车颜色的标准等,由此可知,本文主要介绍了美国校车为什么是黄色的。故选A项。]
