(单选题)

After leaving his home as a young man to seek his ______ in western mining, Millsaps joined the Salvation Army in 1883.

A.recreation

B.fortune

C.expectation

D.reputation

参考答案：B

参考解析：

考查名词辨析。句意：年轻时离家到西部去寻求发财之路后，Millsaps于1883年加入了救世军。recreation意为“消遣，娱乐”；fortune意为“财富，运气”；expectation意为“期盼，期望”；reputation意为“名声，声望”。seek one’s fortune是固定搭配，意为“寻求财富，力求发迹”，符合句意，故选B。
