问题 In contrast to Disney World, one of the characters in the service sector is that ______.
Which of the following best defines the word "bolster" (Line 2, Paragraph 4)?
选项 A、Flourish.
B、Reinforce.
C、Cushion.
D、Blossom.
答案B
解析 第四段前两句：Southerners have prospered in part by playing to their traditional strengths．The fame of southern hospitality has bolstered the region’s hotel chains，such as Holiday Inn.本题在考查考生词汇知识的同时，也考查大家对全文结尾段的写作思路的理解。全文最后一段第一句是用抽象的语言解释南部地区经济繁荣的一个原因，即：顺应(利用)了南部的传统力量。而第二句恰恰是用具体的事例来解释第一句，即：南方人好客的特点(南部的一种传统特点)促进了宾馆酒店业的发展。因此，要想得知bolster的意思，只要理解上一句话的意思即可。字典将其解释为"to support with or as if with a bolster：reinforce"。注意：此题虽然看似不难，但此类型题是将两种出题思路结合在一起，换在其他文章中，可能难度会很大，要小心作答。A项很容易误选，认为flourish与上句中的prosper是同义词，但flourish作"昌盛，繁荣"解时，是不及物动词。Cushion用作动词时意为"加衬垫"，不符合题意。Blossom"兴旺，开花"与Flourish为同义词。谨记：备选答案中存在的同义词皆为错误选项。
