In the USA, about 450, 000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon(象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer. There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers(跟踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus. Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. Its the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too! School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus. Its said that there will be 3,000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year in Chongqing. 46.

Linda has promised(答应) her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little. If there were an accident. He says, theyd know soon enough. Bad news travels fast. But Linda has promised that she would ring. However, she says, it doesnt cost much when you just think that its the other side of the world. Its only six pence per second (每秒六便士). If youre on that telephone for less than one minute, Ill eat my hat， David says, And one minutes nearly four pounds. Thats no more than youd pay for a new hat, Linda answers.

Dr Wiseman, from Oxford University in Britain, created a website with jokes on it. He then asked people to rate (定级) the jokes from I ( not very funny) to 5 ( very funny). People could also tell their own jokes. At the end of one year, Wiseman had two million ratings and 40,000 jokes from around the world. Why study jokes?

Do you usually use cash(现金)，or do you like to pay by credit card (信用卡)? If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one credit card. Also, you might use it more often than you probably should. Credit cards first became popular in the 1920s. At that time, businesses, such as hotels and companies, gave credit cards to their best customers(顾客). Unlike todays credit cards, customers could only use these cards at the store or business that gave out the card. Customers had to pay for things in full. They couldnt pay for something a little at a time. In 1950, a businessman named McNamara started a credit card company Diners Club. Unlike earlier credit cards, this card could be used by customers at many restaurants. Customers liked the card because they didnt have to carry a lot of cash with them. Restaurant owners liked the card, too. Why? They found out that customers usually spent more money when they could pay by credit card. In its first year of business, Diners Club issued 200 cards. The customers who got the cards from the Diners Club could use them at 27 different restaurants. Today, Diners Club has about 8 million customers, and they can use their cards in over 7.6 million businesses in more than 200 countries. 58. What can we know about the earlier credit cards from the passage? A. They could be used everywhere. B. Customers had to pay for things in full. C. They were very popular before the 1920s. D. Everyone could get this kind of credit card. 59. The underlined word issued here probably means _ .A showed B. took C. borrowed D. provided 60. This passage is mainly about _.A. part of the development of credit cards B. how to use cash C. the number of people who use credit cards in the worldD. how credit cards help businessmen 第II卷（非选择题 共51分）五、听力填表（共5小题，计5分）录音中有一篇短文，听短文读两遍后，根据所听内容填写下面的表格。name whatHow longHow manyMore informationBobkitessince 10 years ago 61 flies them in the park when its 62 Maria63 for five years 35likes the 64 bestLiam65 ticketssince last year 20put them in the book 六、单词拼写（共5小题，计5分） 根据句意完成已给出首字母的单词。将每个完整的单词写在各小题右边的横线上。 66.

But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese. Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them do not speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas-Chinese. 83These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the U.S., England or Canada, but they have Chinese blood(血统). Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the Peoples Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for physics in 1957. 84Chinese people love him, although he is an American citizen. （一）根据短文内容回答下列问题。81. What does “ABC” mean in this passage? 82.
