Conversation One
W: Hi, Mike, where will you spend your summer holiday?
M: I will go to Greece for a holiday trip.
W: It sounds fantastic! Do tell me all your experiences after you come back!
M: Yes, I'm very excited with this trip but [ 1 ] I am worried about seasickness. You know, t will have a boat trip for several days.
W: Take it easy. [ 1 ] I have some tips to help you deal with it. With the right medicine and a few useful tips, it can be kept under control.
M: That's great! What are the tips?
W: First, you should avoid alcohol and smoking at least a day before your boat journey. Before the day you set sail, you should have enough sleep. 
M: OK. Should I eat less the day before I get on board?
W: [2] You can eat small portions of food. Your stomach should be neither totally empty nor too full.
M: Which part of the ship is more comfortable to stay at?
W: [3] It is better to stay in the midship than at the bow or stern. If you don't feel well, the best thing to do is go to the upper deck, get some fresh air and gaze at a point on the horizon.
M: Ha, that is a good idea.
W: [ 4 ] And don't forget to take some medicine before you go on the voyage if you know you are susceptible to seasickness.
M: Well, you do help me a lot! Thank you!

【听前预测】四-项均以how开头；三项与乘船旅行相关(seasickness，boattrip，vomiting on a sea trip)；两项含有表示避免或处理的词(avoid，deal with)。本题可能对如何处理乘船旅行方面的问题进行提问。
【解析】对话中男士说，能去希腊旅行很兴奋，但是很担心晕船的问题，女士紧接着给他提供了几条小建议。可见，两人是在谈论如何避免晕船的问题，故B项正确。
