单选题 Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
A. At the airport. B. In a travel agency. C. At a hotel.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析]
M: I've just got back from the holiday you arranged for me, but I must tell you the hotel was really awful! It was miles from the sea. The food was awful too. The bedroom was dirty.
W: Sorry about that. But it's not really our fault. The contract does say that the hotel accommodation is not our responsibility.

[精解] 题干问:“对话最可能发生在哪儿?”此题对话中虽有地点名词hotel,bedroom,但明显都不是答案。本题考的是推理能力。根据hotel等关键词,可推断出对话的话题与旅行有关,而从arrange,contract等词,可以判断出是在一家旅行社。
