【解析】

文章主要介紹的是重慶市有3000輛黃色校車投入使用，并且介紹了這種黃色校車是從美國引進(jìn)的，以及為什么是黃色的，做了簡單的說明，在校車上孩子們可以做哪些事情，不能做哪些事情。

【1】句意：重慶市3000輛黃色校車于2011年底投入使用。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表達(dá)的是“在……結(jié)束時(shí)”，英語是at the end of，后面可以接具體的時(shí)間，故選C。

【2】句意：當(dāng)其他汽車撞上校車時(shí)，這樣可以保證學(xué)生們的安全。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里缺的是“保持……”，英語是keep，是一個(gè)系動(dòng)詞，和后面的safe構(gòu)成一個(gè)固定短語keep safe保證安全，而句子主語是指示代詞this，所以動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用三單形式，故選A。

【3】句意：在美國，黃色校車很常見。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句的There are about 480,000 school buses in the country.可知，這里缺少的是“常見的”，“常見的”也就是“普通的”，英語中“普通”是common，是一個(gè)形容詞，在句中做表語，故選D。

【4】句意：在校車上，除了校車司機(jī)外，總有一位老師他的職責(zé)是照看學(xué)生。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句there is always a teacher whose duty is to watch the students.可知，這里表達(dá)的是“除……只在，還有”，英語是besides，故選B。

【5】句意：美國教育家弗蘭克塞爾提出的。

根據(jù)句意理解及空格后的it可知，it代替的是前面提到的Yellow became the colour of school buses，所以空格這里應(yīng)該表達(dá)的是“建議”，是Frank W. Cyr提出的這個(gè)建議，而這個(gè)建議是過去提出的，所以這里動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用過去時(shí)，故選E。

【6】句意：一大早，校車上的黑色字母就很容易看到的。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句的easy to see可知，看見的應(yīng)該是字母，而這里指代的并不是一個(gè)字母，所以應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)形式，故選D。

【7】句意：孩子們可以聽音樂、打電話或睡覺。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表達(dá)的是“打電話”，結(jié)合實(shí)際可知，學(xué)生們?cè)谛＼嚿夏軌蛘f話聊天的工具只有在電話上，故選A。

【8】句意：他們應(yīng)該把頭和胳膊放校車?yán)铩?/span>

根據(jù)句意理解及安全常識(shí)可知，坐公共汽車是要把頭和胳膊保持在車?yán)锏�，英語“在……里面”是inside，故答案為inside，故選B。
