Bay Life boat trip

题目与答案

1. 11 How does Bay Life differ from other similar companies?
   • It has scientists on board.
   • It was established only recently.
   • It owns a large number of boats.

   答案：It has scientists on board.

   原文定位：There are other companies which run more boats. We just run two, but ours are the only ones which are accompanied by marine biologists who have the knowledge to run quality trips

   同义替换：「It has scientists on board」↔「accompanied by marine biologists」

2. 12 How does Bay Life maximise opportunities for observing marine life?
   • It searches in a very wide area.
   • It allows plenty of time for its trips.
   • It follows the creatures closely.

   答案：It allows plenty of time for its trips.

   原文定位：We want to give you as much opportunity for viewing marine life as possible, so all our trips are at least three hours in length, while some even last up to five hours. However, we do not guarantee that you will see all the species that frequent the bay in just one trip. The sea is the home of the creatures which inhabit it, not of humans. We explore only limited parts of the bay, and we are careful not to disturb the animals by tracking them too aggressively

   同义替换：「maximise opportunities for observing marine life」↔「give you as much opportunity for viewing marine life as possible」，「plenty of time」↔「up to five hours」

   • They can only be seen in certain seasons.

   原文定位：Unlike whales, which pass through the bay only at certain times of the year, dolphins are sighted;Six species are regularly visible, sometimes in schools numbering over a thousand individuals. And due to the varying sea depths;we can find deep‑water species of dolphin too

4. 14 Under what circumstances might Bay Life cancel a boat trip?
   • if it rains

In the event that one of our regular crew is sick, we have a reserve list, so we can always rely on a full complement of staff

   同义替换：「might Bay Life cancel a boat trip」↔「may cancel a trip」，「if there are too few bookings」↔「insufficient passenger numbers」

5. 15 What information does the speaker give about private group trips?
