America’s first cowboys came from Mexico. Beginning in the 1500s, vaqueros—the Spanish【C1】______for "cowboy"—were hired to drive and tend to livestock between Mexico and【C2】______is now New Mexico and Texas. 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.

Despite decades of socioeconomic change, cowboys still don’t have health insurance—and they don’t【C20】______. Times might be changing, but as a symbol of persistence, self-sufficiency and a hard work ethic, cowboys live on.
【C7】
选项
A、domains
B、territories
C、spheres
D、provinces
答案
B
解析
名词辨义题。本句意为“在原印第安人所属的领地上”,territories“地区,领土”符合题意。domain指“知识艺术、兴趣或人类活动的领域”;sphere指“有明显分界线的范围或领域”,强调彼此不会干扰、跨越,各不相关;province指“学问的领域或范围”,又可指“个人或机关职权的管辖范围”,均不符合文意,故排除。
