[陕西延安第一中学2020高二期中]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 on 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 much-needed 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.）Thirty-five states made the changes quickly，and every state had taken 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.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国的校车为什么是黄色的。
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到校方式，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 much-needed 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。
长难句分析 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 on school transportation problems.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在常玩的湖里发现了一把具有1，500年历史的剑。因为这个发现，考古学家们去考察了这个湖，而作者因此被网友们称为“瑞典的女王”。这个湖泊对于作者来说像是有魔力一般。
1.C根据设空处后的sandcastles on the beach可知，作者喜欢在沙滩上建沙堡。build意为“建造”，符合语境。challenge意为“挑战”；observe 意为“观察”；explore意为“探讨；探究”。
2.A根据下文的in the sand及I found a sword in the lake可知，作者是在湖里发现了一把剑，故此处应是指她沿着湖底爬。bottom意为“底部”，符合语境。
3.B根据上文的I like to..skim stones across the water.及设空处后的stones to skim可知，作者在湖底爬来爬去的目的是找石头玩打水漂。look for意为“寻找”，符合语境。focus on意为“关注”；take on意为“呈现；雇用；承担”；pick up意为“捡起；拿起；获得；（偶然间）学会；搭载”。

6.C根据空后的 it to an archaeologist，she said it was at least 1，000 years old可知，父亲把作者发现的剑拿给考古学家看，而非“授予”，因为根据下文的Ihad to give the sword to the local museum可知，作者后来把剑给了博物馆。show意为“给……看”，符合语境。give意为“给予”；pass意为“经过”；present意为“颁发；授予”。
7.D根据上文的she said it was at least 1，000 years old和下文的they now think it's 1，500 years old可知，之前是她个人的猜测，现在他们经过深入研究后认为这把剑有1，500年的历史。actually意为“事实上”，符合语境。luckily意为“幸运地”；hopefully意为“怀有希望地；有望”；generally意为“总体上来说；大致”。
8.B根据下文的they found a brooch可知，考古学家们开始搜索湖的其他地方。search意为“寻找；搜索”，符合语境。spread意为“扩散”；remove意为“移走”；sweep意为“打扫；清扫”。

11.C根据上文的it's1，500 years old可知，作者发现的这把剑具有1，500年的历史，说明它是历史的一部分，应该交给博物馆。history意为“历史”，符合语境。
12.A结合语境可知，空后“在亚瑟王的传说里，一位在湖里的女士给了他一把剑，那意味着他会成为国王”是在解释“网民们都说‘我’是瑞典的女王”的原因。设空处前后为因果关系，故选because。
13.B根据下文的Ifound a sword in the lake及上文的类比可知，此处指那位女士是在湖里。lake意为“湖；湖泊”，符合语境。
14.A根据空前的I am not a lady.I'm only eight-but可知，前后句是转折关系，且作者发现这把剑这件事是真的。true意为“真的；真实的”，符合语境。obvious意为“显然的；明显的”；sure意为“肯定的；确信的”；interesting意为“有趣的”。
15.D根据下一句On that day I felt a little bit magic，too.可知，此处指那个湖好像是有魔力的。下文的magic为关键词。故选magic。large意为“大的”；special意为“特别的”；distant意为“遥远的”。
【方法总结】利用词汇复现解答完形填空题
完形填空的解题技巧之一是利用复现原则解题，包括原词复现、同义词复现、反义词复现等。如本篇中第15空的答案是magic，和下文On that day I felt a little bit magic，too.中的magic是原词复现。
长难句分析On 15 July this year，I was crawling along the bottom of the lake on my arms and knees，looking for stones to skim，when myhands and knees felt something long and hard buried in the sand.
句式分析：本句含有be doing..…when...句式，意为“正在……这时突然……”。其中looking for stones to skim为现在分词短语作伴随状语。
句意：今年7月15日，我正沿着湖底手脚并用地爬，寻找石头来打水漂，突然我的手和膝盖感觉到某个长且坚硬的东西埋在沙里。
