据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 Mexico's neighbours are the United States on the..”主要考查你对  历史文化类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

历史文化类阅读

考点名称：历史文化类阅读

• 历史文化类阅读：
  本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
  阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

• 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：
  一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
  切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。
  因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。
  
  二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
  切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。
  
  三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
  切记：一想当然，就会出错。
