阅读理解

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中选出最佳选项。

　　A film was at work at the Circle Five Ranch to film a Marlboro commercial(商业广告). This was in 1868, before they forbad cigarette advertisements from American television. Darrell Winfield was watching the crew(摄制组) set up the equipment. The scene included an actor crossing a river on horseback, but when the time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone from the crew saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the horse for $ 50.“Hell,”said Winfield, “fur 50 bucks, I'll jump that damn horse over the moon!”

　　To people in many countries. Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple cowboy with an advertising message about a connection between the West and brand of cigarettes. Few people know that he is 55 , a family man who's been married to the same woman for 37 years and has 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Most surprisingly, he's a real, working cowboy who raises horses in his ranch in Wyoming.

　　One of the most striking things about the Marlboro Man is that success hasn't changed him much. He says that complete strangers sometimes come up in him and say,“I've met you. I know you from somewhere.”Whenever it happens. he says that he gets embarrassed.

Answer 1

答案：B;B;C;C
解析：

1．B　　导解：文中开头部分说1868年是美国政府禁止在电视上登烟草广告之前，可见美国当时不禁止，而现在是禁止的。 　　2．B　　导解：当时拍演员骑马过河，当准备拍摄时那个人喝醉了不能骑马，于是人们让Winfield拍这则广告。 　　3．C　　导解：对很多国家的人来说，Winfield只是一张熟悉而又无名的脸孔，一个普通的牛仔，他现在在怀俄明州养马，因此故选C． 　　4．C　　导解：文中说他是一个纯粹的牛仔，直至今日还在养马，还是普通人，因此当陌生人对他说“我见过你”时他不是“生气”，“有趣”或“真实”，而是感到尴尬，难为情。
