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.

选项
A、dominated
B、regulated
C、banned
D、controlled
答案
C
解析
动词辨义题。前面提到,小镇居民觉得牛仔无法无天,因此“有的居民甚至禁止牛仔进城”;banfrom“禁止”符合题意。dominate“控制,支配”;regulate“调节,规定”;control“控制,管理”,均不符合文意,且不与介词from连用,故排除。
