问题  
(J = Jenny; V = Victoria)
J:   I’m longing to hear about this tour, Victoria. You must be terribly excited.
V:  Oh, I am. I ... I’ve never been to America before, Jenny, so I’m really looking forward to it. I thought of going fly-drive.
J:   Fly-drive?
V:  Yes. You know, you ... you can arrange for a car to be waiting for you at the airport when you arrive. You book everything this end including the plane tickets.
J:   Sounds simple enough. Are you going to, then?
V:  Well, I’m bit worried about driving on the other side of the road and having to, so I decided it would be better to go on a more organized holiday.
J.   What do you mean by "organized"?
V..  Well, everything is arranged by a tour operator, a more organized trip.
J.   What do you mean by "organized"?
V..  Well, everything is arranged by a tour operator. You know, you are taken around and shown where to go and what to do. I would probably miss half the sight otherwise.
J:   Mm, where are you going anyway?
V:  Orlando. It’s in central Florida.
J:   Sounds OK. Are you going on your own?
V:  Yes, I don’t mind that. There will be other people on the tour. I’m sure to make friends. You know, I like meeting new people. Here, let me show you the brochure.
J:   It looks pretty packed. Do you really have time to do all these things?
V:  Oh, yes. It’s all planned. Let’s see. Day one, we arrive in Orlando. And after we’ve settled in our hotel, we have the afternoon free. ! guess we could have a look around and do what we like. Then, day two, we go to Disney World.
J:   You mean Mickey Mouse and all that?
V:  Yes, it’s a kind of gigantic funfair with all the Disney characters and there is also the Epcot Centre, uh, a sort of city of the future with all the latest developments. I’ve always wanted to go there, anything I saw on television. And then, day three, we go seaworld.
J:   Whatever is that?
V:  Well, there are aquatic displays and performing dolphins and even a whale.
J:   Oh, that’s quite unusual. Let’s see what you do on day four. Oh, it seems to be free.
V:  Yes, that’s right. And then on the next day we go to the Kennedy Space Centre. That should be interesting.
J:   I wonder how much they let you see. That’s where NASA is, isn’t it?
V:  Well, I shouldn’t think you’d be able to see the latest spacecr0ft, but you might be allowed to glimpse some Mission Control, and perhaps how they receive message from satellite. Anyway I bet you’ll know a lot more about space than you even know before.
J:   Mm, I quite envy you going there. Somehow, I find it quite hard to believe that people will one day live out in space.
V:  Oh, I don’t. I’ll give it a try if I have the chance. Now, what next? Oh, yes, day six. Circus World.
J:   Circus World. That sounds fun. I love going to the circus.
V:  So do I. It states here, Circus World, see, take parts, enjoy. I wonder what "take parts" involves?
J:   You’ll soon find out.
V:  And day seven, we come home. Just as well, I’ll be broke by then.
J:   I suppose you’ve been saving up for ages for this holiday.
V:  Well, I did think of putting in some extra hours at work, but the money wasn’t really worth it after tax, and it would have meant I didn’t get home until late. Dad offered to lend me some money but I know he really needs it himself. In the end, I went to see my bank manager. He was terribly nice, so here I am, all booked up and ready to go.

选项 A、overdraw an account.
B、borrow from her parents.
C、work overtime.
D、spend her savings.

答案A

解析 本题考查推测能力。对话快结束时,Victoria讲到她去见了银行经理,这个经理非常非常好(terribly nice);而她在这次见面后则整装待发了。因此,Victoria很可能是 overdrew an account。
