We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means its okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldnt they have been prettier colors?Well, its import to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And its been that way ever since.Red has always been a color that mean danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because its the color with the longest wavelength(波长) so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料) were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be printed yellow.So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, dont get so mad at them, theyve certainly come a long way.（1） What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars? A . Trains.B . Boats.C . Planes.D . Bicycles.（2） Why does red mean danger? A . Because its the brightest color.B . Because it can be seen far away.C . Because railway companies say so.D . Because it has the shortest wavelength.（3） Why are school buses painted yellow? A . Because yellow is a prettier color.B . Because yellow once meat danger.C . Because yellow can be seen well in daytime.D . Because yellow means its OK to go forward.（4） What does the text mainly tell us? A . How important traffic lights are.B . Which color has the longest wavelength.C . What red, yellow and green can be used for.D . Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.4. （4分） (2019淮安) 阅读理解 The Garbage (垃圾) Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973. Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills (填埋场) , the places where cities bury (填埋) their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40-year-old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular(普通的) garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to peoples health and the environment. They shouldnt go into regular landfills.Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly（直接地）in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.Our garbage problem is not new, but as the worlds population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.（1） The Garbage Project started at the University of Arizona in _. A . 1973B . 1970C . 1948D . 1940（2） To study the modern garbage, the students had to do many things except _. A . Wearing special clothesB . traveling to landfillsC . burying the garbage themselvesD . opening bags of garbage（3） The underlined words dispose of in Paragraph 4 means _. A . crash intoB . deal withC . worry aboutD . put up（4） From the article, we know old motor oil _. A . should go to regular landfillsB . isnt harmful garbageC . mustnt be poured on the groundD . never pollutes the environment（5） Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A . There are only two kinds of dangerous waste in homes.B . Scientists thought about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear slowly.C . The students found empty bottles of cola were not as many as they expected.D . Batteries often break open when they are buried directly in a landfill.5. （4分） (2019荆门) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Canada shares the longest international border (边界) in the world with the USA, which is 8,891 km long.
