The word "boom" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ( ).

A.prosperity

B.increase

C.decrease

D.bleakness

参考解析：

根据boom确定其所在的句子It has in the past boasted of creating employment faster than China, amid a boom in the technology and bioscience sectors......but now there are fears of a big slowdown.可知but前后句意转折，后半句讲的是衰退，所以前半句是科技和生物的蓬勃发展，因而boom表示繁荣，即A选项正确。B选项increase：增加；C选项decrease：减少；D选项bleakness：阴郁、萧瑟。所以正确答案是选项A。
