问题 Ireland______beautiful beaches, great restaurants and friendly locals.

选项 A、boosts
B、booms
C、blooms
D、boasts

答案D

解析 动词形似义异辨析。显然,有2对单词的拼写极其相似,较难辨析。boast通常用于词组boast of/about,意为“吹嘘,自夸,自吹自擂”,一般为贬义,如:He’s always boasting about his son’s success at school.他总是夸耀他儿子学习成绩好。而此题中的boast不是贬义,表示“以有……而自豪,有(引以为荣的事物)”,如:The town boasts a world-renowned museum.这个镇子引以为荣的是有个举世闻名的博物馆。boost意为“促进,推动,激励”,如:boost production促进生产;boom表示“兴隆,激增”,如:Business is booming.生意日趋繁荣;bloom指“(花朵)盛开,开花”。
