閱讀理解

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A，B，C和D）中選出最佳選項。

　　A film was at work at the Circle Five Ranch to film a Marlboro commercial(商業廣告). This was in 1868, before they forbad cigarette advertisements from American television. Darrell Winfield was watching the crew(攝制組) 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　　導解：文中開頭部分說1868年是美國政府禁止在電視上登煙草廣告之前，可見美國當時不禁止，而現在是禁止的。 　　2．B　　導解：當時拍演員騎馬過河，當準備拍攝時那個人喝醉了不能騎馬，于是人們讓Winfield拍這則廣告。 　　3．C　　導解：對很多國家的人來說，Winfield只是一張熟悉而又無名的臉孔，一個普通的牛仔，他現在在懷俄明州養馬，因此故選C． 　　4．C　　導解：文中說他是一個純粹的牛仔，直至今日還在養馬，還是普通人，因此當陌生人對他說“我見過你”時他不是“生氣”，“有趣”或“真實”，而是感到尷尬，難為情。
