On February 3rd，1949，New York Harbor（港）was an exciting place．Many people were there to greet a ship from France．On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars（火车车厢）filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America．These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train（Merci：a French word meaning “thank you”）．
After World War II（二战），a lot of factories，roads and farms in France had been destroyed．Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat．In the winter of 1947，a train was sent across the United States，stopping in cities and towns along the way．At every stop，people gave whatever they could．Factories gave clothing and medicine．Farmers gave food．Families gave money．Even school children gave away their pocket money．All the things were then taken to France by ship．By 1949，the French had begun to recover（恢复）from the war．The Merci Train was their way of saying “thank you” to America．French people had filled the boxcars with gifts．Most of them
were personal，like hand - made toys，children’s drawings，or postcards．But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts．On each car，the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces．with an American eagle on the front．The boxcars were taken to each state of America，where they were warmly greeted．
Now many of the states still keep their boxcars．Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums．The Merci Train came out of the war，but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace．

A．give away clothing and food B．get more soldiers for the war

What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home? The answer could be．that people are very interested in the past．It is a nation’s history and culture that are the main attractions．Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries history and cultures used to be like。not what。they arc 1ike today．Tourists try to learn the history and culture of foreign countries by visiting different kinds of museums． Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit．Their own special scenery(风景) would certainly attract tourists from other countries． Finally，there is perhaps a country’s attraction：its people．A country is not just its old buildings，its works of art(艺术品) or beautiful places，it’s also the people who live in it．This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people．The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness(友好) of the people there．It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular．The friendly，smiling people make visitors feel welcome． 2009成都 B. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，补全表格中所缺信息。请将答案按编号依次填入表格内的题号后横线上。（共5小题，每小题1分：计5分） Cars are very important in the life of the Americans.

最新中考英语阅读理解答题方法指导2016 在做英语阅读时，首先通读全文，不要被某个或某些自己不熟悉的单词所困扰，了解大概意思。然后看问题，带着问题精读全文，同时选择答案，必要时用排除法，注意，文章中一般都会有答案，有的可以直接找到，英美人并不愿意把问题弄得太深奥，不必想得太复杂，很多都是直接了当的，千万别自己发挥想象。但不得不说，平时多积累词汇量的话，答题可能就会主动一些，有把握一些。 指导一、初中阅读理解考查的主要内容。 首先，初中英语试题中的阅读文章题材多样(涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史地理、科学技术等各个方面)，体裁形式丰富(包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格等)，这就需要考生在平时对各方面的知识都有所积累。 其次，阅读理解主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括阅读、理解、归纳概括、逻辑推理以及对材料的评估能力等。在阅读技巧上，考生要注意文章的个别词或句子、文章的某细节或情节、文章的主题或背景知识、文章的结论或结局、文章内涵的寓意等。
最后，从问题设置上可以将问题总结为四种类型： (一)直接题目：这种题目比较简单，只要通读全文，了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节，就可以解答出来，有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。此类考查事实和细节的题目大多数是针对文章的细节设计的。 (二)理解性问题：要求对文中个别难词、关键词、词组或句子做出解释。解答这类题目时需要对有关的上下文，甚至整篇文章的内容建立准确、立体的理解才能做出正确答案。此类猜测词义的题目，要求考生根据上下文确定某一特定的词或短语的准确含义。 (三)推理性题目：这种题目考生往往不能直接从文中找到答案，而需要根据上下文及其相互间的关系或对整篇文章进行深层理解后，才能找到答案。有时甚至还得考虑作者的主旨、倾向等因素加以推理，才能获得正确答案。此类题目主要考查的是句与句之间，段与段之间的逻辑关系。 (四)概括性题目：要求考生在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章做出归纳、概括或评价。此类考查主旨和大意的题大多数针对段落(或短文)的主题思想，标题或目的。解这种题目时，不能只凭文中的只

（英语）中考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、英语阅读（日常生活类） 1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。 If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" （代）of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive. On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks. About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data（数据） faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well. For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag（延迟）. When the car "sees" an obstacle（障碍物）, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions, However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer. 5G could also be used to power the internet of things （IoT）, that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically （自动地） place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside. （1）Which city was 5G tested for the first time? A. Beijing. B. Shanghai. C. Shenzhen. （2）What can we infer（推测） according to the passage?. A. 5G is widely used in China now. B. 5G networks will make our lives more convenient. C. There are no symbols at the top of our phones. （3）The writer uses self-driving cars as an example to . A. explain how 5G's fast speed can be helpful B. warn about the possible dangers of self-driving cars C. explain how self-driving cars work （4）What is IoT according to the passage? A. A robot that can do housework. B. An online store where you can buy anything. C. A large online network that connects things and people. （5）Which sentence is right according to the passage?
