【解析】

试题分析：在中国，每天约有200万儿童上学。他们中的许多人乘校车。去年，严重校车事故使政府决定加强校车的规则。4月5日，政府公布有关学校安全的新规则。这些新规则比旧的要严格得多。在新规则下，地方政府必须确保学生就读附近的学校或寄宿制学校，减少交通风险。此外，地方政府要帮助孩子在农村达到他们的校车。从现在起，学校巴士有速度限制，其他车辆必须让校车先走。新规则也说，校车绝不能超载。还有许多其他的规则。每个校车必须有灭火器，急救包和GPS。

1.词义理解推断题，根据文中语句“Under the new rules, local governments must make sure that students attend nearby schools or boarding （寄宿的）schools to reduce traffic risks（风险）.”理解可知。此句的含义是学生必须到就近的学校去上学，故attend的含义是go to故选C。

2.句意理解归纳题，根据文中语句“The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded（超载）”理解可知。无轮什么时候严禁校车超载，故A是错误的。

3.细节理解题，根据文中语句“A school bus must have than seven seats. On each bus, there must be at lest one adult（成年人）to keep an eye on the kids. Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher（灭火器）,a first aid kit（急救箱）and a GPS.”理解可知。校车必须配备的物品或人员中没有让学生的家长参加，故选B。

4.理解归纳题，根据文中语句“To stop such accidents, the Center Government decided to strengthen（加强）the rules for school buses.”理解可知。中国政府制定新规的主要元音是校车的现状很危险故选A。
