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.

E) previously F) luxurious G) properties H) features

M) inherited N) creative O) state [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
I
解析
his提示此处应为名词,并可与动词make构成词组。从下文提到的希尔顿所做的一系列工作推断他的朋友建议他去得克萨斯“发展”,fortune符合语义,make one’s fortune意为“发财,发迹”。
