11 According to the speaker, the companyA has been in business for longer than most of its competitors.B arranges holidays to more destinations than its competitors. C has more customers than its competitors.12 Where can customers meet the tour manager before travelling to the lsle of Man?13 How many lunches are included in the price of the holiday?14 Customers have to pay extra forA guaranteeing themselves a larger room.B booking at short notice.C transferring to another date.11题选A， A,B,C选项都是和同行比，A比的是in business ， longer；B比的是destination的多少；C比的是customer的多少.原文中说a small, family-run company，don't aim to compete with other companies on the number of customers.这句话把C选项给排除了，因为加了否定；A选项和many years’ experience - more than almost any other rail holiday company同义替换，题干说了most, 原文也说了almost，对应上了；至于B选项，确实提到了destination，原文说provide perfect holidays in a small number of destinations, which we've got to know extremely well.可是没有说和同行比较。总结这道选择题设定陷阱包括加了否定，不存在比较。同意替换more than most...和many ...+ more than any other...12题选B 看到题干说了关键点是customers meet the tour manager，B选项对应原文Our holiday starts in Heysham, where your tour manager will meet you, then you'll travel by ferry to the lsle of Man.题干用的是before travelling to the lsle of Man，原文先说starts in Heysham, 再说then , 总结：同义替换before doing sth...和then sb. do sth.对应; A和C 被排除掉了，因为原文说Some people prefer to fly from Luton instead, and another popular option is to go by train to Liverpool and take a ferry from there.那是别人的想法哈，排除法的技巧：这俩并列都可以直接排除两个，因为答案不能选两个。另外Some people 怎么想的这是对比别人的做法或者想法哈，不是正确答案，被排除；选项C提到的five在原文中是说five nights in the hotel，the price covers five breakfasts and dinners 不符合题干的lunch，数量的对象不同，A选项对应的lunch on the three days，提到了题干的three；有人会选B，因为听到了lunch，听到了four，但是原文说day four is free, and most people have lunch in a café or restaurant in Douglas，这是four不是指四顿午餐，而是第四天，至于lunch，是指lunch的地点，而不是题干说的午餐价格被包含。C选项提到改变日期，原文说lf you make a booking then need to change the start date, for example because of illness, you're welcome to change to an alternative date or a different tour, for a small administrative fee. 这里的同义替换是pay extra 和for a small administrative fee替换；B选项是说短期内预定要额外的钱，但是原文说the price is the same whether you book six months in advance or at the last minute，大家要听懂同义替换at the last minute和at short notice，替换方式是数字的替换。A选项涉及到房间，原文说there's no supplement for single rooms in hotels，这个supplement就是pay extra的同义替换，supplement是指(旅行或住宾馆等所付的)额外费用，考查同义替换，并且前面加了否定，所以排除。 原文：
Good morning. My name's Erica Matthews, and I'm the owner of Matthews lsland Holidays, a company set up by my parents. Thank you for coming to this presentation, in which I hope to interest you in what we have to offer. We're a small, family-run company, and we believe in the importance of the personal touch, so we don't aim to compete with other companies on the number of customers. What we do is build on our many years’ experience - more than almost any other rail holiday company - to ensure we provide perfect holidays in a small number of destinations, which we've got to know extremely well. I'll start with our six-day lsle of Man holiday. This is a fascinating island in the lrish Sea, with Wales to the south, England to the east, Scotland to the north and Northern lreland to the west. Our holiday starts in Heysham, where your tour manager will meet you, then you'll travel by ferry to the lsle of Man. Some people prefer to fly from Luton instead, and another popular option is to go by train to Liverpool and take a ferry from there. You have five nights in the hotel, and the price covers five breakfasts and dinners, and lunch on the three days when there are organised trips: day four is free, and most people have lunch in a café or restaurant in Douglas. The price of the holiday includes the ferry to the lsle of Man, all travel on the island, the hotel and the meals I've mentioned. lncidentally, we try to make booking our holidays as simple and fair as possible, so unlike with many companies, the price is the same whether you book six months in advance or at the last minute, and there's no supplement for single rooms in hotels. lf you make a booking then need to change the start date, for example because of illness, you're welcome to change to an alternative date or a different tour, for a small administrative fee.
