单选题

A、 Best alternatives available for choosing a place to spend holidays.
B、 What incentives travel agents can get from business partners.
C、 The fierce competition among hotels, restaurants, and services.
D、 Best strategies for travel agents' clients to bargain over prices.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Hi, Mike, where did you spend your winter holiday this year? M: I went to Greece for a holiday trip. It was fantastic. And I had to book a package tour beforehand. W: I happen to know something secret about travel agents. Do you want to hear it? M: Secrets? I'd love to. I never thought about that before. W: There are some secrets that travel agents will never let its customers know. I will share with you something about package tours. M: I felt comfortable with package tours before. How about your secrets? W: Since almost everything is included in a package tour, travel agents end up getting a percentage of your meals, water sports and drinks—not just air and hotel costs. M: Really? How much do they get from the client? W: Typically, commissions that travel agents get range from 10% to 15% of a client's total expense. M: 10 to 15%? That's a lot of money. Next time I may bargain over the money I pay a travel agent. W: You know, that'll be a hard nut to crack. They have to survive on commissions, right? M: Yes, it sounds reasonable to me. W: But, it doesn't end there. Travel agents get other incentives from hotels, restaurants and other facilities in resorts, like gift checks to barbecues to a free night's stay. M: Wow, that's incredible. I really learnt something about travel agents today. What are the two speakers talking about travel agents? 两项含有旅行社(travel agents)，两项含有与旅行相关的词(spend holidays，hotels)。可推测该题是对与旅行有关的内容进行提问。对话的最后，女士提到旅行社可以从旅游景点的旅馆、酒店或者其他设施中得到像礼品卡、烧烤或者免费住宿一晚等奖励，故B项正确。其他三项文中均未提及，故排除。

单选题

A、 10 percent of commissions from its partners.
B、 15 percent of the commissions.
C、 About 10 percent of his total expense.
D、 More than 15 percent of the total expense.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] How much does a travel agent get from a client of a package tour? 四项都提到了数字；两项提到了佣金(commissions)，两项提到了总费用(total expense)。结合上一题可推测，该题是对与旅行相关的费用或提成进行提问。听音时，应对选项中出现的数字多加留意。对活中女士提到，旅行社会从客户的总费用中收取10%到15%的佣金。四个选项中，只有C项中的about 10 percent与这一数字最为接近，故为正确答案。A、B两项说法过于绝对，D项信息错误，均可排除。

单选题

A、 It makes sense somewhat.
B、 It is unfair for the clients.
C、 It is too much to put up with.
D、 It is a secret for travel agents.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] What's the man's attitude towards commissions received by travel agents? 四项主语均为it；两项含有表负面意义的词语(unfair，too much to put up with)，一项含有表正面意义的词语(makes sense)。结合上一题可推测，it可能指的是旅游费用或提成，本题很可能考查对it的看法或评价。当男士听说旅行社会从客户的费用中提取佣金后说，他下次可能会就费用问题跟旅行社讨价还价，女士接着说这是件棘手的事，因为旅行社毕竟需要靠佣金生存，男士也表示这么做也有道理，故A项正确，其中的makes sense与文中的reasonable为同义替换。

单选题

A、 Bargains.
B、 Gift cards.
C、 Water sports.
D、 Fantastic books.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] What other incentives can travel agents gain from resorts, besides commissions? 四项均为名词，三项为物品，一项为运动。推测该题以what进行提问，考生在听音过程中需重点去听这四个名词，然后根据问题做出进一步的判断。对话的最后女士说，旅行社可以从合作的商家那里得到一些奖励，如礼品卡、烧烤，或免费住宿一晚等，结合四个选项，文中提到的只有B项，故为正确答案。
