Question 5 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

Conversation Two

听力原文

W: How was your holiday? Not too many other tourists around, were there?

M: No, very few, relatively. (5) [But I found myself moving from one accommodation to another, trying to find the perfect place.] It made me realize that indecision is a big problem for me. Instead of relaxing, I was looking for the best spot.

W: It seems you suffer from fear of better options. I’ve read about it. It describes this loop of indecision as part of our programming. (6) [Essentially, we have this tendency to keep stretching out the decision-making process, because as human beings, we are hard-wired to optimise.] We have always looked to get the best things we can as a sort of survival of the fittest. Optimising isn’t the problem, but rather the process that we go through.

M: Well, that makes me feel better. (7) [But I think thanks to technology, we can make comparisons more easily and have more access to choice and customisation.] We can now see what we could have, how we might get it and what others have that we might want. (7) [We keep looking over and returning to the same options again and again.]

W: Yes. (7) [Fear of better options offers little benefit. It’s an ailment of abundance.] You must have choices to have that fear of missing out on better options.

M: Yes. I need to note when I’m worrying about inconsequential things, I guess. If I’m spending too much time worrying over what to have for lunch, I’m robbing myself of the energy to focus on the things that matter.

W: Exactly. But for more important matters, I think gut instinct might be overrated. When you have 30 odd options, trusting your gut is not practical. (8) [What you need to do is research—have a process, invest time exploring your options, and eliminate as many things as you can. The most toxic part of decision making is going over the same options time and time again.]

5. What does the man say about his holiday? （关于他的假期，男士说了什么？）

解析：A。录音开头男士表示，发现自己不停地搬来搬去，试图找到一个完美的住所。由此可知，假期里男士一直在找最完美的住处，A项中的looking for the best place to stay是对录音中trying to find the perfect place的同义替换，故A项正确。

错项排除：B项利用录音开头出现的tourists作干扰，但录音中说的是男士度假的地方游客不多，并没有说男士遇到了许多来自其他国家的游客，故B项错误。C项利用录音中的relaxing作干扰，录音中说的是男士在假期里没有放松，而是一直在找最完美的住所。因此C项与录音内容相悖，故排除。D项在录音中没有提及，故排除。
