2021年中考英语二轮复习：阅读理解重难点题型专项练习题11.I've thought long and hard about how Chinese parents can get away with what they do. I think there are three big differences between the Chinese and Western parental mind-sets.First, I've noticed that Western parents are quite worried about their children's self-esteem（自尊心）. In other words, Western parents care about their children's psyches（心灵）. Chinese parents don't. They find that they are strong, not frail（脆弱的）, and as a result they behave very differently.Second, Chinese parents believe that their kids should thank them for everything. The reason for this is a little unclear, but maybe it's because of Chinese traditional customs and the fact that the parents have done so much for their children.Third, Chinese parents believe that they know what is best for their children. So they don't care about their children.Don't get me wrong: It's not that Chinese parents don't care about their children. Just the opposite. They would give up anything for their children. It's just an entirely different parenting model（养育模式）．（1）According to the passage, how many differences between Chinese parents and Western parents?A.Only one.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.（2）What do Western parents worry about their children?A.Self-esteem.B.Psyches.C.Grades.D.Both A and B.（3）Do Chinese parents care about their children's psyches?A.Yes, they do.B.No, they don't.C.Not clearly.D.Not mentioned.（4）What does the underlined word "custom" in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?A.进步B.模版C.习俗D.设计（5）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Western parents are quite worried about their children's self-esteem.B.Chinese parents believe that their kids should thank them for everything.C.Chinese parents believe that they don't know what is best for their children.D.Chinese parents would give up anything for their children.2.CRAZY BUBBLE RUNThe happiest family activity Ever!Time: 10 a. m.Date: November 3rdA Money-Raising Event for the City Charity ProgramOrganized by United Nations Children's Fund（联合国儿童基金会）★ Come and get your Bubble Run Bag（T-shirt, number plate, hair band, waterproof（防水的）bag, color stickers and water gun）at 9:30 a. m.!★ We will be waiting for you at the Olympic Park in Beijing!★ Registration Fees: ￥120 Student（1）When will the Crazy Bubble Run event begin?A.At 9:30 a. m. on October Ist.B.At 10 a. m. on October IstC.At 9:30 a. m. on November Ist.D.At 10 a. m. on November 3rd.（2）Who started this running event?A.United Nations Children's Fund.B.Beijing Municipal Government.C.City Charity Program.D.The Olympic Park.（3）The participants（参与者）can't get ________ in their Bubble Run Bags.A.sunglassesB.waterproof bagC.hair bandD.T-shirt（4）The 16-year-old twin sisters, Alice and Ann are both high school students.

They smiled at himand he smiled back.Mr Turner always gave new students a buddy with the same hobbies as them.I was sure he wouldn't choose me. I wasn't one of the cool kids."Hyun, I want you to be John's buddy this term," said Mr Turner. Me? I couldn't believe my ears! Everyone in the class looked in my direction. Adam and Chen even looked unhappy.John walked over to my desk and sat down beside me. He smiled at me. "Hello," he said in a confident voice."Hello," I replied, not looking at him.All morning I could feel the boys in the cool group looking angrily at me, but John didn't seem to notice.Finally the bell rang for a break. I had butterflies in my stomach. I knew that Adam and Chen were going to make fun of me in front of John, and that John would decide that he'd rather be buddies with them.Sure enough, as soon as we got outside, Adam and Chen swaggered up to us."Mr Turner says you're a good basketball player, John," said Adam. "How'd you like to play with us at lunch break? Hyun doesn't know anything about basketball.""No thanks," said John. "I'd rather play chess with Hyun, if he doesn't mind.

Most of them are widely used in our everyday life. Different maps have different uses. When we are in a new place, a proper map may help us solve the problems easily.Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places.Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long journeys. Different types of roads are given different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No.621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.Distribution maps（分布图）use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, where different languages are spoken, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight lines to show everything. It is easy for people to read them. Trains are fast. People don't have to think about small places they go past.

How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let's have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do.

Chinese passengers will completely say goodbye to paper tickets. Before that, the e-ticket system was only used on high-speed and intercity（城际的）railways.In China, normal-speed trains play an important role in railway transport and also serve as an important choice for passengers. They provide over one-thirdof all railway passengers with trips every year.The e-ticket service first started on the high-speed rail line of Hainan Province in November 2018, and another four high-speed intercity railways were tested in July 2019.After being used on most of the high-speed lines across the country during the fourth quarter last year, the system achieved full coverage on all high-speed and intercity railways in late April.Passengers using the e-ticket system will be able to enter the station and check in with their ID cards and facial recognition（人脸识别）without a paper ticket. The system will also reduce waiting time and there won't be any risk of losing tickets. Also, the time of ticket-checking will be shortened from 3.8 seconds per person to 1.3 seconds."It seems to save only a few seconds for a single passenger. But with the large number of people taking trains, it will greatly ease（舒缓）the rail system,"a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University said.（1）On June 20 this year, the e-ticket system began to be used on________.A.high-speed railwaysB.intercity railwaysC.normal-speed railwaysD.countryside railways（2）What does the underlined word "transport" mean?A.Traffic.B.Center.C.Line.D.Price.（3）Which doesn't belong to the advantages of e-ticket system?A.Passengers don't need to buy paper tickets.B.It's not necessary to carry ID cards.C.Passengers can spend less time waiting.D.Tickets will not be lost.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.People in Hainan Province could buy e-tickets in 2019.B.E-tickets were used in all high-speed and intercity railways in July 2019.C.Passengers can save 1.3 seconds in checking time if they use e-tickets.D.More and more people will take normal-speed trains in the future.（5）What may be the best title for the passage?A.The Future of Railway TransportB.New Technology in 2020C.An Introduction to Chinese TrainsD.Goodbye, Paper Tickets7.A man who was climbing a mountain thought he was all alone.

The woman had broken her arm and couldn't climb. What were they going to do?It was very cold and night was coming. They both knew they wouldn't live through the night if they didn't make it down the mountain.The woman had an idea and said, "I have two good legs, and you have two good arms. Together, that makes one healthy body."They tried themselves together so that he was on her back. Slowly, they climbed down, bit by bit. Every step was difficult. They had to stop every minute or so, but he was counting on（指望）her strong legs and she was counting on the strength（力量）in his arms to keep them from falling. When they finally reached the foot of the mountain hours later, they were found and rushed to the hospital.They both learned a good lesson that day.

Let's have a look.Michael: When I was a student in France, a local friend invited me to have lunch at her home. During the meal, I found all her family had their hands on the table, except me. Later I learned that it's impolite to put your hands under the table.Adam: When I was a student in the UK, I went to a pub（酒吧）with two local friends. We all had a drink and I drank mine quickly. My friends still had half-full glasses so I bought another drink, just for myself. My friends said, "You can't do that. When in a pub in the UK, you should buy drinks for you and your friends." I was so embarrassed.Sandra: I spent a year studying in Germany. I was shocked the first time I went to a speech. At the end of the speech, all the students started knocking on their desks.

Three days later, they showed the king their carved mice. The king asked all his soldiers to decide the result. Andy's mouse was so wonderful that it looked like a real one while John's was ugly（难看的）. So the king and his soldiers all agreed Andy was the winner. But John disagreed. He shouted, "That's unfair. It should be decided bycats." The king thought it was right, so he asked his soldiers to bring several cats. To everyone's surprise, the cats all jumped on John's mouse. Then the king said John was the final winner. Later, the king asked John, "How did you make the cats all like your mouse?" John said, "It's very simple. I carved the mouse only with a fishbone（鱼骨）.

阅读理解【中考先睹为快】Passage A(来自2016中考英语模拟)阅读下面短文或图表，并选择正确答案。

Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts，but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is protecting themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the tree.Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spread over, the enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn’t strong at all.( ) 1.

Today there are about100，000 little free libraries in over 100 countries and they have a great influence on people's life.Studies have shown that books in the hands of children have a meaningful influence on improving literacy （识字）.Little Free Library spreads the idea that literacy is of great importance and pushes people to learn and grow in their own literacy.Little Free Library can greatly improve the relationship among neighbors and strangers,too. "Within just a few miles of me,there are many little libraries in folks' front yards,sharing the joy of reading with anyone who passes by.I just live in such a world where books,and the knowledge that comes with them,are highly valued." Catherine,an American woman,said, "I've even received a note of thanks from a gentleman named Esteban.He was especially thankful to have a "friend" on a cold night：‘ Thank you for this wonderful gift of a book.It's an excellent friend on this cold and lonely night.I'll return one in its place as soon as I can!'"If each building has such a library,we will soon have a society that spends less time on the phones and more on the pages of a book.六、单词拼写/单词释义（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）The sweetest memory of my childhood is about a round table.When I was still little,my whole family would get together on different traditional（1）______ to have dinner.We kids would be sitting around or playing hide-and-seek under the table while the grown-ups were having a（2）______ .When I got a bit older,my aunt brought back her boyfriend and my grandma cheerfully（3）______ another seat to the round table.It seemed a little more crowded,but we all felt much（4）______ to each other.When I was twelve,my grandpa passed away.That made us（5）______ sad.However,when the whole family gottogether once again,we（6）______ agreed that his chair,his bowl and his chopsticks should remain the same,even though his seat was empty,we felt like that he had never left us.We all have a table like this in（7）______ homes.It is a sign of reunion of our family showing our feelings （8）______ the reason why we come together may be different,the feelings behind it are the ually different cultures（9）______ by us around the table.What's more,we express the love not only for our family,but also for a community,our nation and even the whole world.The history of our nation has been the stories of looking for or running to the round table（10）______ we belong to.The round table has been a symbol of the Chinese feelings.It was,it is and will always be.七、补全对话（本大题共1小题，共5.0分）35.（The friends are talking about a speech competition.）A：@ Dale Hello.（1）______B：@ Amy I'm preparing for a speech competition.C：@ Dale,（2）______B：@ Joe About celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC （中国共产党成立100周年）.But I'm not well prepared.A：Do you need any help？B：Yes. （3）______C：How about telling the story of the CPC-led Red Army？B：（4）______ I will have a try.A：I believe you can do a good job.C：（5）______B：@Amy @ Joe Thanks a lot.A.Good luck!B.I don't think so.C.What's it about？D.That sounds great.E.What are you doing now？F.When is the competition？G.I'm not sure what I will talk about.八、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共12.0分）36.As the saying goes, "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles".In modern society,travelling is avery common thing.

【中考英语】英语阅读理解(含答案)一、英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Thanks to better health care, most people are living healthier and longer lives. Someone who is born today(今天出生的人) can expect to live about thirty-five years longer than someone who was born in the nineteenth century. People think that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays. Here are some rules for a healthy life.Get off the sofa!Sure, it is comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. But doctors say you should get off the sofa. To keep fit, you have to walk at least 10, 000 steps every day. In the past, people's jobs required more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?Eat healthy food!It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruit and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while. Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health.Rest while you can!When we were babies, we slept for much of the night. Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies, but it is important for you to get about eight hours' sleep a night. At weekends, you have got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest too.Do not worry. Be happy!Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health.

2021届中考英语阅读理解强化训练（六）环保类（一）Every year thousands of young people in England finish high school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers.Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.Paul, 18, comes from Wales. Next year he wants to go to university to study Chinese, but now he's living in Belize. Paul says, "I'm working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is polluted badly, the coral will die. I'm helping to do study on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it's too late. I'm staying with a family here. I help do some housework. I don't get any money, but that's OK. I love my work here, and I'm learning a lot about the people of Belize! When I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months.

Now 14, this homeschooled student from Florida has helped to protect Florida's natural resources (资源). Several months ago, she asked to cut hunting as a way to save bears. She also asked to protect Split Oak Forest from a road building plan."Just because kids can't vote (投票) doesn't mean we don't care," she said. "Just because kids aren't doctors or lawyers yet doesn't mean our voices aren't significant."In the matter of Split Oak Forest, Sorbo once wrote to the mayor (市长), saying the road would harm the environment.Though the project went on, the mayor praised her effort. "We like your passion(热情) for the community," he said.Sorbo's mother, Tina Sorbo, believes her daughter's bravery comes from a trip that she took to the forest for a homeschool lesson at age 7. Sorbo saw a hunter who was killing bears. Seeing the animals in pain made her quite upset.Sorbo has also called on people to use bear-resistant iron bins that will make bears less likely to trouble humans in their homes. "Small things can add up to make something big," she said.1.Megan Sorbo has offered to help in Florida _____.A.protect natural resourcesB.build roadsC.raise bears2.The underlined word "significant" in the second paragraph means "_____" in Chinese.A.重要的B.微小的C.忽视的3.The mayor praised Megan Sorbo because _____.A.she gave the government useful adviceB.she was good at protecting the environmentC.she did something for her community actively4.Megan Sorbo would probably agree that _____.A.kids should try to go on trips a lotB.kids should do something for the environmentC.kids should learn more knowledge of nature5.The best title of the passage is "_____".A.Bears and forests in the communityB.A project to protect and forestsC.A teenage girl who about the environment（三）Thousands of years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom. There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty-five million. Three-quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this "rewilding".Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees which at first grew in Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests—but soon there might be!1.What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago?A. About 25 million.B. Over 65 million.C. More than 61 million.D. Not more than four million.2.Why are there fewer birds and small animals in fields in the UK?A. Because more trees have been planted.B. Because there are more large wild animals.C. Because pollution is much worse than before.D. Because people use new methods of farming.3.Which paragraph gives opinions from "rewilding" supporters?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.4.What are some people against?A. Living closer to nature.B. Planting more and more trees.C. Helping large wild animals return.D. Building more villages and towns.5.What's the best title for the text?A. Making Britain wild againB. A trip to wild BritainC. An introduction to BritainD. Protecting the environment（四）Pandas are in danger now. There are some reasons (原因) for this. One is that pandas are losing their homes. People cut down pandas' bamboo forests to make towns and cities. Another is that pandas have few baby pandas. Pandas have another big problem. A new report shows that there isn't much bamboo because of climate (气候) change. Bamboo is almost the only food pandas eat. An adult panda needs around 38 kilograms of bamboo every day.The study shows that nearly all the bamboo in China's Qinling Mountains may disappear (消失) one day because of climate change. Pandas will have nothing to eat. Scientist Liu Jianguo said that we must help pandas now, "It is difficult, but I think there's still hope, if we start now." Panda lovers feel sad about the bad news. Panda expert (专家) Chang Leng said it is time for the world to wake up and help pandas.(1).Which isn't the reason for pandas in danger?A.People cut down many pandas' bamboo forests.B.Pandas have few babies.C.People can't save them well.D.They can't find a lot of food.(2).People cut down much bamboo to ____ .A.make towns and citiesB.make bamboo modelsC.make bamboo forestsD.make food for people(3).An adult panda needs about ____ kilograms of bamboo every day.A.21B. 28C.38D.48(4).How do panda lovers feel about the bad news?A.Happy.B.Sad.C.Angry.D.Excited.(5).What's the main idea (主题) of Paragraph(段落)2?A.All the bamboo in China's Qinling Mountains disappears.B.The climate of the world is changing.C.We should start to protect pandas.D.Pandas should move to other countries.（五）The world uses about a thousand million(百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.1.How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world?A. Under 10 million.B. Only 19 million.C. About 92 million.D. Over 700 million.2.Treating wastewater helps the environment by _______.A.storing waste in ice and snowB.letting waste run into oceansC.keeping waste out of rivers and oceansD.sending waste to coastal countries3.What does the underlined word "desalination" in Paragraph 3 mean?A.远洋运输B.潮汐发电C.食盐销售D.海水淡化4.At present, the technology to process water _______.A.needs much energyB. saves much moneyC. satisfies everyoneD. causes pollution5.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Water should be a human right.B.The water problem is still serious.C.Our planet is covered with water.D.Everyone has enough clean water.（六）Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏) of our environment. Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals...these problems seem so huge.So my family do what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk whe re we don’t have to drive.But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good?Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups ofa thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration (迁), a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns. However,the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular (壮观的) sight it must be — thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!A few can make a difference. Even if you’re the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.1.Where would you most probably read this passage?A.A guidebook.B.A movie poster.C.A personal blog(博客).D.A science magazine.2.Why does the writer use cloth bags in stores?A.Because he wants to do some good to the environment.B.Because he thinks plastic bags are more expensive.C.Because there are only cloth bags in stores.D.Because all the people use cloth bags in stores.3.Why does the small group of flamingos return to the lake?A.Because they are very tired.B.Because they can’t f ind food in other places.C.Because they don’t know where to go.D.Because the others don’t fly along with them.4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The writer and his family never use cloth bags.B.Flamingos like to get together in groups of a thousand or more.C.Brown clouds and polluted water are the only problems we face today.D.Flamingos never travel to other places every year.5.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article?A.To show that the writer loves to see the migration of flamingos.B.To tell readers to continue trying and it can make a difference.C.To introduce a special kind of flamingos to readers.D.To show that there're many problems in the world.答案以及解析（一）答案：1-5BCACD解析：1.细节理解题。

I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and yes, maths.To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by, I made progress.I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table, and threw different coins on the talbe.

She make progress every day and was moved out of ICU(重症监护室) and finally out of hospital.One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael.

Do you know Roma people? They were called Gypsies(吉普赛人) by Europeans because they thought they came from Egypt(a country in Africa). About a thousand years ago, the Roma people left their homeland. They are known as nomads because for hundreds of years many of them have lived in large groups that travel from place to place. They have no real homeland.Today, the Roma are now living all over the world. They have kept their language and many customs. For example, it's important for Roma to marry other Roma. It's also a custom for parents to choose the person their children will marry. Roma people get married when they are young, sometimes even as young as 14.Romany is the language of Roma people, which was written down only recently. Because the Roma are nomadic and have moved all over the world, their language has developed in many different ways. It is sometimes hard for Romans in one part of the world to understand Romans from another part.Roma music is famous all over the world, because many Romans throughout history have beenmusicians. Their music has influenced many other kinds of music, like classical and jazz.Roma don't usually assimilate(同化) into host countries. Over many centuries, governments have forbidden them to marry each other, travel or wear their traditional bright clothes. They have their gold taken away from them—treasures from their parents and grandparents. They have been taken as slaves(奴隶), and have been forced to change their names.But today, the Roma are finding ways to live in peace with others while keeping the treasures of their culture. “There's a will within us to continue to live as a people,”says George Kaslov, whose family arrived in New York from Russia a hundredyears ago. “All the other ethnic(种族) groups who came to America assimilate gradually with time going; they lose their customs and language. But not the Roma. We hold out.”32. What does the underlined word "nomads" in the 1st paragraph mean?A. People who lived centuries ago.B. People who come from Roma.C. People who have their own homelandD. People who move from place to place.33. What can we infer about the Roma according to the passage?A. Most of the Roma live in very unusual houses.B. Their language is endangered and may soon die out.C. Their culture is very different from other European cultures.D. Most Roma get married either when they are very young or very old.34. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To tell readers about an interesting culture.B. To tell us why the Roma need our help.C. To show us how all people are similar.D. To ask people how to live in peace.35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Brave Roma TravelersB. Famous Roma MusicC. The Roma: Past and PresentD.
