解析:
1. W: OK, so let’s go through the travel details again. Two adults, eight days in Britain from April 26th to May 3rd, flying from Beijing to London and back with Air China, and you are in a double room. 对话中没有提到具体的客房服务信息,因此第一题选择D.
2. M: Right, that’s fine. Oh sorry, I can’t remember what else you include in the price, apart from the air tickets. Is it all meals or just breakfast?
W: Yes, it’s full board. So all meals, and transport from the airport to your hotel. Everything is included. 由划线部分可知,该价格包括机票、所有餐费、交通费,因此第二题选择D. 3. W: Now can you tell me if you need travel insurance? M: Ah, yes. Yes, we do. W: OK, well, that’s an extra 300 yuan each. Is that OK?
M: Well, there is no choice, is there? I mean we have to have it, don’t we? W: Yes, I’m afraid so. M: Well, all right then. 由划线部分可推断出他愿意购买旅游保险,因此第二题选择B.
4. W: Oh, very busy. I had a lot of meetings, so, of course, I didn’t have much time to see New York. 由划线部
分可知,该女士去纽约的目的或原因是因为要有一些会议要参加,因此第四题选择B. 5. M: Oh, I read about that in a magazine. You say it works?
W: Yes, I did the program on the flight to the U.S.A., and when I arrived at New York, I didn’t have any problem, no jet lag at all. But on my way back, I didn’t do it, and I felt terrible. 女士与回程时的经历作对比,发现这项计划的确可以减轻人在乘坐飞机时所产生的不适,因此第五题选择D. 6. M: En. So what did you do?
W: Well, I didn’t drink an alcohol or coffee, and I didn’t eat any meat or rich food. I drink a lot of water, and fresh juice, and I ate the noodles on the well-being menu. They’re lighter. They have fish, vegetables, and noodles, for example, and I did some of the exercises of the program. 根据划线部分可知D.选项符合题意。 7. M: How many passengers do the exercises?
W: Not many.
M: Then how much champagne did they drink?
W: A lot! It was more popular than mineral water. 这里我们可以听出并没有太多的人都像该女士一样做了运动,以及饮用清淡的饮用水,因此第七题选择C.

解析:

were we to know that it wasn’t you who made the scratch? 售货员认为顾客应该在购物的时候进行检查,因此第一题选择C.
2. W: Well, I’m sorry. But it must be the way you are wearing the headphones. M: Look, I know how to put earphones in my ears. Thank you very much. But what I want to know is what you are going to do about it all. 当店员提出可能是耳机佩戴的方式不对时,顾客的反应明显是不高兴,因此第二题选择A.
3. M: Well, first of all, there’s this large scratch across the front of it. ……
M: That’s ridiculous. But, anyway, it’s not the most important thing. I really am not happy about this other thing. 可见顾客一共关于两方面进行投诉,因此第三题选择D.

门为我们制造的,可知答案为D.
