SPEAKER 2: Thank you for calling our Travelite Walking Holidays Line. We have been offering a wide variety of walking holidays to suit all tastes for just three years, but already we have won two awards for excellence in this field. We offer guided walking tours to suit the discerning traveller in twelve different centres throughout the whole of Western Europe【Q12】. We are planning to open our first centre outside this area in the coming year, so watch out for developments.
But the pride of Travelite is the level of guidance and support we offer on our walks. All are planned in detail by our highly trained guides, who all work in a variety of different Travelite locations, so we can guarantee standards. Each day we offer three separate walks catering for all skills and fitness levels.【Q13】
We also pride ourselves on our friendly service, particularly important for the increasing numbers of people who choose to holiday alone. Unlike almost all travel operators who happily charge large supplements for single rooms, we guarantee that no single client will pay more, 【Q14】even when only double rooms are available for them. And the day doesn't end with the return to base … after our dinner at communal tables designed to make all our guests feel part of a family atmosphere … Entertainment is laid on nearly every night【Q15】 with tour leaders on hand to organise lectures, games, quizzes and respond to any special requests from guests.
The following is a summary of costs and special inclusive offers on holidays for the coming summer. We have three lengths of holiday: three-day, seven-day and fourteen-day. The three-day holiday costs one hundred and eighty 【Q16】dollars for all accommodation, food and walking, and for the first time this year we are including in that price... the cost of picking you up from the nearest station【Q17】. The seven-day holiday costs three hundred and fifty dollars per person and, as well as including the offers of the three-day holiday, also includes a magnificent book giving the local history【Q18】. On top of that, we are able to include free maps ... for you to better enjoy the walking and even plan in advance if you wish.
For the fourteen-day holiday, our special price is six hundred and ninety 【Q19】dollars per person and that includes all the offers for the three- and seven- day holidays plus … membership of a local walking club 【Q20】... so you can better enjoy the full flavour of the local life. For further information, please contact your local travel agent. Thank you for calling the Travelite Travel Agency Information Line ... (fade out)
Choose the correct letter, A, B or C.
题干中提到“to find out how much holidays cost, you should press button...”（要想知道每趟假日旅行线 路的价格，请按……），所以当对话开头提到“旅行线路价格”之类的线索词的时候，考生应该特别注意。原文中提到“if you want to hear our latest price lists, please press two”（如果你想知道最新的旅游 线路报价，请按 2），所以此题选 B。
原文提到“We offer guided walking tours to suit the discerning travller in twelve different centres throughout the whole of Western Europe. ”（我们提供有导游的旅游线路，以适应整个西欧12 个不同地区的旅行者）， 所以此题选 A。
原文提到“catering for all skills and fitness levels”（适应所有不同技术不同适应能力的人），其实就是选项 A 的另一种表达法。注意短语“cater for”意思是“迎合，适应”。
原文提到“we guarantee that no single client will pay more”（我们保证所有单独的顾客都不会另外缴费）， 所以此题应该选 A。注意“client”一词的意思和读音，意为“顾客，客户。
原文提到“entertainment is laid on nearly every night”（几乎每个晚上都有娱乐活动），此处的“be laid on”就相当于此题题干中的“be provided”，考生在听题的时候要抓住线索词“entertainment”。另外， 考生还要注意不能选择 C，因为原文提到的是“几乎每个晚上”，而不是“每个晚上”，此处是出题人设计的一个干扰选项。
