W: Good morning, Travel link. How can I help you?
M: Good morning. I live in Bayswater and I’d like to get to Harbour City tomorrow before 11am.
W: If you catch the 9:30am railway express, you’ll get there in an hour. I’d recommend you do that.
M: Great. Which station does that leave from?
W: Helendale is the nearest train station to you.
M: How can I get to the Helendale station?
W: Well, you have two options. Option one is to take the 706 bus from the Bayswater Shopping Centre to Central Street. When you get there, you transfer to another bus which will take you to the station. [6]The second option, if you don’t mind walking a couple of kilometres, is to go directly to Central Street and get straight on the bus going to the train station.
M: Okay. Which bus is that?
W: NO. 792.
M: [6]I guess the walk will be good for me so that might be the better option. What time do I catch the 792?
W: There are two buses that should get you to the station on time: one just before nine o’clock and one just after. But look, [7]at that time of the morning it might be better to take the earlier one just in case there’s a traffic jam or something. The 8:55 is probably safer than the 9:05.
M: Yeah, I’ll be sure to get on the five-to-nine bus. By the way, how much will I have to pay in fares?
W: Well, you can get a ticket on the bus for $1.80 cash and you’ll need $10 each way for the train. Wait, do you have a Travel Link Card?
M: No, but I can get one before tomorrow.
W: Okay, well. That’ll make it considerably cheaper then. The bus will cost $1.50 each way, and [8]the train will be—the train to Harbour City will... still cost $10.00 because you’ll be travelling during peak hours in the morning, so no savings there, I’m afraid. However, if you could come back at an off-peak time...
M: What does that mean?
W: Well, [9]if you could start your return journey before 5pm or later than half past 7 in the evening...
M: Actually, I wasn’t planning on coming back till at least 8 o’clock anyway.
W: In that case, your return train journey would only cost you $7.15 with your card.
M: Do you know if I can use the Travel Link Card on ferries?
W: If you’re thinking of the Harbour City ferries, those are the commuter ferries, then yes. A one-way trip costs $4.50 but with your card you’d make a 20% saving and only pay $3.55.
M: So, $3.55 for the commuter ferry... What about the tour boats?
W: [10]The tourist ferries only take cash or credit card. They’re not part of the Travel Link Company.
M: Oh, I see. Thank you.

9. Which is an off-peak time according to the conversation?
10. Which way is available for payment for tourist ferry?

选项 A、Buses may be stuck in the traffic.
B、It is the only bus starts on time.
C、It is cheaper than the other bus.
D、It runs much safer than the 9:05.

答案A

解析 ①对话中男士问女士792路公交车的始发时间,女士表示有两班公交车,但是由于早上那个时段可能会堵车,建议搭早一班车,也就是8:55始发的那一班,因此本题选A“巴士可能会在路上遇到堵车”。②B“这是唯一出发准时的一班车”,C“这一班车比另一班车便宜”均未在对话中提及。D“这班车比9:05那班车开起来更安全”利用原文中的safe做干扰,原文只是说以防路上遇到堵车什么的,8:55这班车更安全一些,即指更可能准时到达车站,而不是说性能更安全。
