【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文中作者主要介绍加拿大和日本的校车情况。包含校车的颜色、司机的培训、校车的优先权等信息。

1.B.细节理解题。根据短文第一部分对加拿大的校车介绍中All the school buses，which are in deep yellow，have the same style可知加拿大的校车都是黄色的；故选B。

2.C.推理判断题。根据短文第二段At this time，all the vehicles(车辆)following the school bus must stop as if they met a red light．可知，校车是优于其他的车辆的，所以B项错误；最后一段On Japanese school buses，there’s always a headman caring for kids．提到了日本的校车中有一个带头人跟随，但是没有提到加拿大的校车中有这一规定，所以A项可排除；根据第三段Many people will think of cartoons as soon as they talk about Japanese school buses．可知，人们通常会把日本的校车和卡通联系起来，可知日本的校车看起来更酷，所以C项陈述正确；文中没有提到日本校车司机很容易拿到驾照，可排除；故选C。
