问题 From the first two paragraphs, we learn that ______.
There could be no real cattlemen in Matt’s Saloon on Saturday night, because ______.
选项 A、Matt’s Saloon caters to guests from Europe instead of cattlemen.
B、the ranchers dislike this impudent tourism.
C、it is too costly to afford for cattlemen.
D、it is tough to earn a living in that city.
答案B
解析 第四段结尾至第六段：roughly a third of the guests are European. Many of the ranchers themselves see all this tourism as a cheeky attempt to commercialise a real and vanishing culture...But in Matt’s Saloon on Saturday night，real cattlemen could not be found...Younger ones take on side-jobs as contractors and are cattlehands part-time．Older cowboys aren’t sure what to do．本题干扰选项的迷惑性极强，所以难度很大。文章第五段结尾讲到在酒吧中很难见到牛仔，这是因为在本段开头提到很多农场主认为这种旅游业是厚颜无耻的。因此B正确。本题的难度在于文章中的一个词cheeky，这个词虽然超纲，但其词根cheek"面颊"并不超纲，由此可以猜测到cheeky是"厚颜无耻的"意思。同时，impudent与cheeky又是同义词。不少同学看到前文提到$350-a-night luxury这些词眼，认为酒吧消费很高，故联想到牛仔一定消费不起。这属于主观臆断，C选项错误。D选项认为牛仔在此生活很艰辛，这是文章最后一段的观点。在结尾作者提到一些老牛仔甚至都不知道他们能做什么，但所问非所答，因此D错误。谨记：正确的观点不一定是正确的答案，错误的观点也未必是错误的选项。A选项的难点在于其词组。cater to是"供应伙食、迎合"的意思。很多同学认为这些农场是为欧洲人开的，但文章说到只有三分之一的客人来自于欧洲。因此A错误。
