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 kinds are on the bus.Kindergarten(幼儿园) is 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 Chian 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.29 . 30 .

It is from the time before electricity, when people used candles for light. Someone who lived in a big house would have a servant light his way by holding a candle. The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant. Now, it means such a person cannot compare or compete. In the following song, singer Dolly Parton tells her new love that her old flames, her old lovers, cannot compare with him.A52 . expression is “hold your tongue”. It means to be still and not talk. “Hold your tongue” is not something you would tell a friend. But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.“Hold out” is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labour news. It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players hold out if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth. Members of labour unions（同盟）hold out and refuse to work until they get the work agreement they want.The expression “hold up” has several different m 53 . . One is a robbery. A man with a gun may say, “This is a hold up. Give me your money.” Another meaning is to delay. A driver late for work may tell his boss, “I was held up by heavy traffic.” Someone who was robbed on the way to work might say, “Sorry, boss, I was held up by a hold up.”Still another meaning of the expression is for a story to be c54 . true after an investigation（调查）. The same driver late for work could say, “My boss did not believe a hold up held me up. But the police confirmed（坚定的）what I said so my story held up.”“Hold on” is another expression. Often it means wait or stop. As you leave for school, your brother may say, “Hold on, you forgot your book.”Hold on is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not h 55 . up his telephone. If you call a library to ask for a book, the librarian might say, “Hold on w56 . I look for it.”Our final expression is “hold the line.” That means to keep a problem or situation from getting w 57 . , to hold steady（稳定）. For example, the president may say he will hold the line on taxes. He means there will be no increase in taxes.七、填空A) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第110小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）One of the most powerful tools you can use to improve your reading comprehension is mind mapping. It is possible to create maps by simply using a pen and paper.The first step is to draw a circle or box at the center of the page. Inside your shape write down the main idea that your mind map will focus upon. For example, if you were creating a mind map about the geography of the United States, then you would write down “the geography of the United States” in the middle of your page inside your circle.Next you draw branches from your central idea. Much like a tree grows branches. Simply draw a line moving away from the central theme. In the case of the geography of the United States, you would probably draw 50 lines. Each line represents one of 50 states. These are the main categories(分类) with your primary concept(概念).Each of lines can then have branches off of each. These would represent the main example under each category. For example, under the line titled, “Texas,” you would find lines called Austin, Houston, and Dallas, you might draw a series of lines to represent some of its main sections like “South Dallas” and “Highland Park”. You continue to draw your mind map much like the structure of branches on
