Last summer, my wife and I had saved for a year to be able to take a romantic cruise to several Caribbean islands. Because the train was scheduled to arrive in Miami, Florida several hours before the sailing, we didn’t think we’d have any reason to worry about getting to the dock on time. We should’ve known that long distance trains are often many hours late. We should’ve taken an earlier one to allow extra time. We should have, but we didn’t and we missed the boat. Because there wouldn’t be a refund of our cruise fare if we returned home, we had to pay for a hotel room and meals in the city and an air fare to fly to the first island on the shipped route two days later. We missed half the cruise.
This year, we decided to let an experienced travel agent do our vacation planning for us. We had to pay the full price in advance for an escorted tour. We should be joining that relaxing well-planned trip right now. How could we have known there would be a strike against our airline? And why hadn’t anyone advised us that the travel agency can’t refund your money unless the tour operator can get the passengers’ fees back from the reserved hotels, the tour boat’s company and so on?
To avoid trouble like this, we ought to get more travel experience. But to tell you the truth, we don’t want to go anywhere. We’re planning to spend our vacations at home for a long time to come.
13.Why did the couple fail to get to the cruise in time?
14.What does the speaker say about their trip this year?
15.What will the speaker do in the future for a vacation?
选项
A、It was canceled because of an unexpected strike.
B、It was the most exciting trip they ever had.
C、It was spoiled by poor accommodations.
D、It was postponed due to terrible weather.
答案
A
解析
题目问的是关于今年的旅行,说话者提到了什么。文章提到他们选择了有经验的旅行社策划了轻松的旅行,但是完全没想到航空公司会遭遇罢工,可以得出A项为正确答案。其他三项原文均未提及,故排除。
