C.Itwasdesignedtoattractforeigntravellers.
D.Itwasacomicbookshowatthebeginning.
解析:
推理判断题。
根据第一段中的“ThefirstcomicbookconventionswereheldintheUSAinthe1960s”“Nowadaysthereismuchmorethanjustcomicbooksonshowatacomiccon”可知,第一届漫画书展于20世纪60年代在美国举行,但是现在国际动漫展不止有漫画书展。

答案:
D
【干扰项分析】 根据文中的“ThefirstcomicbookconventionswereheldintheUSAinthe1960s”可知,漫画书展的历史并不悠久,故排除A;根据第一段第一句可知,国际动漫展是一项活动,而非节日,且向所有人开放,故B、C两项错误。

【难句分析】 FromcomicbookstopostersandT-shirtstotoys,theoptionsareendlessbutthereisonethinginparticularthatsetscomicconsapartfromordinarytradefairsandthatiscosplay.
分析:
本句为一个复合句。
第一个that引导定语从句,先行词为onething;第二个that为代词,在句中作主语。
译文:
从漫画书到海报,从T恤到玩具,(可供)选择(的范围)广泛。
但尤其有一件事情使国际动漫展区别于普通的交易会,那就是cosplay。
