America’s first cowboys came from Mexico.

Cowboys came from a【C3】______of backgrounds, and included European【C4】______, African Americans, and Native Americans. 【C5】______America built railroads further and further west,【C6】______industry, transportation and white settlements in fonner Indian【C7】______, the cowboy played a【C8】______part in the nation’s expansion. But townspeople【C9】______on cowboys as lawless troublemakers who brought【C10】______but violence and immorality , and some even【C11】______them from town.

By the 1890s, the wide open ranges and cattle trails were gone and privatized, and the days of the long cattle drives were over. Smaller-scale cattle drives continued【C13】______the mid-1900s, with livestock herded throughout the southwestern United States. Most cowboys left the open trail and took jobs at one of numerous private ranches that were settling across the West. But as the work of actual cowboys【C14】______in the U.

选项
A、disturbed
B、frowned
C、bothered
D、annoyed
答案
B
解析
动词辨义题。根据后面提到的lawless troublemaker可知,镇上的居民对牛仔颇有微词,frown on“不悦,不满”符合题意。disturb“打扰,妨碍”;bother“烦扰,使不安”;annoy“使恼怒,使烦恼,骚扰”,均不符合文意,且不与介词on连用,故排除。
