Conrad Hilton really wanted to be a banker. Instead, he successfully changed the【C1】______purchase of a Texas low-end hotel into a multimillion-dollar hotel empire that earned him the【C2】______"innkeeper to the world."
Born in New Mexico in 1887, Hilton was 19 when his parents began renting out rooms in their home. The business didn’t interest him, however, so he became a【C3】______legislator, founded a bank and went off to war. In 1919, after Hilton’s father died, a friend suggested he go to Texas to make his【C4】______Hilton ended up in Cisco; when his bank deal there【C5】______he headed to a nearby hotel, the Mobley. It【C6】______to oil-field workers, so its 40 rooms turned over every eight hours. A week later, Hilton owned it. He soon acquired more hotels—and started to build new ones. His first, the Dallas Hilton, opened in 1925. By the late 1940s, Hilton’s list included the Town House in Beverly Hills and Chicago’s Palmer House, as well as【C7】______nightclubs featuring A-list stars. He also expanded internationally. And in 1949, he bought the "greatest of them all": New York City’s magnificent Waldorf-Astoria. Typically American, Hiltons were【C8】______too: the first to have rooms with air-conditioning, TVs, ironing boards and sewing kits. Even modern hotel-reservations systems【C9】______from one Hilton which was established in 1948.
Today the Hilton Hotels Corp. owns some 3,300【C10】______in 78 countries. Last year more than a quarter-billion guests checked in.

M)inherited N)creative O)state [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
D
解析
句子缺谓语动词,此处应填入过去式的动词,并可与介词to搭配。本句开头的It指Mobley酒店,根据宾语oil-field workers可推断此处应该讲这间酒店专门为油田工人“提供服务”,因此选用catered一词,catered to意为“迎合……的需求”。
