Each school day, yellow school buses take millions of American kids to and from school. According to the law, school buses must be painted “school bus     31    ”. You may not find it in a box of crayons. The color is neither pure yellow nor pure orange. Instead, it is a mix of the two, similar     32     to the flesh of a mango.

Before such a law was passed, school buses had been painted pure yellow, close to the color of a lemon. In 1939, Dr. Frank W. Cyr had a meeting to set     33     for US school buses. This included a standard color for all school buses in the whole country. Since then, Dr. Cyr has been known     34     the “father of the Yellow School Bus”.

The school bus yellow color is not just for looks. It is also a matter of safety. Many people     35     that red is the most noticeable color. Both stop signs and stop lights are red. In fact, research shows that yellow gets our attention     36     than any other color. Even if we are looking straight ahead, we can also see a yellow object that is going past     37    . Besides that, unlike red, yellow is also more easily noticed in a     38     environment. School buses usually     39     children to school in early morning. The black lettering on that yellow background is the easiest color combination to be     40     in darkness. This is another main reason why school bus yellow was chosen.

31．A．red B．blue C．green D．yellow

32．A．color B．smell C．size D．sweet

33．A．times B．lines C．rules D．shapes

34．A．for B．as C．to D．with

35．A．disagree B．believe C．promise D．imagine

36．A．faster B．slower C．worse D．harder

37．A．you B．them C．us D．it

38．A．light B．terrible C．clean D．dark

39．A．pick up B．give up C．throw away D．find out

You are walking down the street in the middle of the day and you see someone wearing a green hat. Some people may think it’s fashionable while others don’t care at all. Do you wonder what wearing a green hat means in Chinese culture? Here are four colors and their meanings in Chinese culture.

Green

In most cultures, green represents (代表) nature and is a calm color. However, in modern Chinese culture, green has a negative meaning. For example, when you say “His face looks green.”, it means he doesn’t look well. When you say someone is wearing a green hat, it means the person’s partner is cheating on him or her.

Yellow

In ancient China, yellow represented power. Only the emperor could wear this color. Yellow was also considered as a natural color. The Yellow River, the second longest river in China, got its name from the yellowish soil (土壤) in it. Now, when yellow is used in a sentence, it means someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planned. For example, when you ask people how their relationship is going, they might say “huáng le”, which means they’ve broken up.

Red

Red is considered as one of the luckiest colors in Chinese culture. In ancient China, the royal (皇室的) family wore bright red. In modern China, red is often seen at celebrations like weddings and festivals. Red also describes someone who is very popular, like a star. You will say “He is red.”

White

In ancient China, white was considered as common people’s color. Back then, only the rich could afford to make colorful clothes. Common people couldn’t afford that, so most of their clothes were white. Now people still enjoy white clothes, but they sometimes connect white with bad things. It is connected with scary things like death.

六、短文首字母填空（10分）

根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

Many studies show there is a relationship between colours and moods. Moreover, it is believed that colours can also i   51    appetite (食欲). You may w   52    whether it is true.

I am a mother of two kids. I want my kids to love food, so I am always trying to c   53    eye-catching plates of food for them. An attractive m   54    is not only about how food tastes, but about how it smells and how it looks.

B   55    kids taste their food, they see it. An attractive plate of food c   56    their attention and excites their moods and tongues for what they will taste. There are two easy ways. You can e   57    use a lot of different colours or work with just one colour like red and orange. Some days, I say “It’s Orange Day today because it’s rainy hard and we r   58    something to cheer us up!” or “Today, it’s Red Day because we need s   59    in our body and mind.” or “Today is Green Day because we are celebrating spring!” However, I n   60    use just blue or black. They make them lose appetite.

七、阅读填表（5分）

先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。

There are several factors that may decide why a country chooses a particular passport colour. These factors include religious (宗教的), geographical, historical or cultural ones.

Some countries try to fit in with nations or political groups they’d like to join. Governments can choose the overall design and colour for their passports from one of the four basic colors: red, blue, green, or black.

    Red Passports

    Red, the most common passport colour, not only has religious meanings, but also may have some connections with a country’s history or politics. Countries in Northern Europe generally hold red passports.

    Blue Passports

    The second most common passport colour is blue. Traditionally, the colour blue is meant to represent the “New World” nations in North and South America, and Oceania (大洋洲). The U.S. passport has been blue since 1976.

    Green Passports

Green is the most common colour of choice for Arab countries. Considered as a sign of nature and life, it is of great importance for Arabian religions. The citizens of several West African countries also have travel documents that have different shades of green, which means they belong to the Economic Community of West African States.

    Black Passports

    Black passports are not as common as brighter colors, though dark shades tend to make a document look more official. Only 10 countries have black passports, all unconnected with geography or religion. New Zealand’s passport is black since it’s the country’s national colour.

In all, the reasons why passports in different colors often have important and deep meanings to each government.
