Question

    Time for an adventure?

Are you a bit bored with your nine-to-five routine? Have a look at our exciting range of holidays and decide what type of adventure you'd like.

Activity holidays

Our activity holidays are for everyone, people who love danger or who just like sports. We have a huge variety of water, snow or desert holidays. We' ll take you SCBA diving in the Red Sea or kayaking and white water rafting in Canada. If you prefer snow, you can try skiing or snowboarding in the Alps or even igloo building. For those who like warmer weather, we also have sandboarding(the desert version of skateboarding) or camel safaris.

Polar expeditions

Take an expedition to Antarctica or the northern Arctic; explore a land of white natural beauty and wonderful wildlife. Our experts will explain everything about the two poles as you watch the penguins in Antarctica or whales and polar bears in the Arctic. There's no greater adventure than travelling to the ends of the earth. A once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Cultural journeys

Our cultural journeys will help you discover ancient civilizations: India, Thailand, Egypt and many more. Visit temples, palaces and ancient ruins—just remember to bring your camera! Get to know local ways of life by exploring markets, trying exotic foods and meeting local people.

Trekking tours

We have trekking holidays to famous places such as Machu Picchu or the Everest Base Camp Trek, as well as some nearer to home in the Highlands of Scotland. You don’t need to be very sporty, just fairly fit. You’ll have a great time enjoying nature with a group of new friends. Some of the holidays include camping, but we’ll transport the tents for you!

Wildlife holidays

We organize small-group tours to get closer to nature in Africa, Asia or South America. Go on safari in Africa and watch lions and giraffes. Meet the famous turtles off the Galapagos Islands. Look for tigers in India, or take an elephant safari in Sri Lanka. We use local guides and stay in a range of accommodation, from tents to tree houses.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了五种不同的旅行，包括极地探险、雪地活动、徒步旅行、文化旅行和野生动物假期。

1.细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“trying exotic foods”可知在文化之旅可以尝试异国食物。故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据“see the penguins with my own eyes in the northern Arctic”可知Daniel希望可以在北极北部亲眼看到企鹅，与“Polar expeditions”中的watch the penguins in Antarctic”相对应，故第一个与Daniel相符的应为 Polar expeditions。根据“crazy for skiing and snowboarding”可知Simon喜欢滑雪，与“Activity holidays”中的try skiing or snowboarding”相对应，故第二个与Simon相符的应为Activity holidays。根据“I'm not good at sports”和“meet more people and make more friends”，可知Sandy体育不好，想要结交更多的朋友，与“Trekking tours”中的“ You don't need to be very sports”和“ enjoying nature with a group of new friends”相对应，故第三个与Sandy相符的应为 Trekking tours。根据“Ancient temples, palaces or ruins are my favourites”可知Amy喜欢文化建筑，与“ Cultural journeys”中的“Visit temples, palaces and ancient ruins”相对应，故第四个与Amy相符的应为Cultural journeys。根据“take photos of wild animals”可知Nail希望和野生动物一起拍照，与“Wildlife holidays”中的“watch lions and giraffes. Meet the famous turtles of the Galapagos Islands”相对应，故第五个与Nail相符的应为Wildlife holidays。因此排序为Polar expeditions——Activity holidays——Trekking tours——Cultural journeys——Wildlife holidays。故选D。
