答案解析：

1. c) is the correct answer. 'get away from it all' is a fixed expression which means 'having a break away from your work or other thing that stress you'.

     a) bank holiday is a one day public holiday when schools, offices, banks etc. are closed.

      b) be snowed under 也是英国人日常生活中常说的一个固定搭配，意为‘工作非常繁忙’。If you are 'snowed under', you have a lot work to do.

    d) A honeymoon大家都知道， is a holiday that two people have just after getting married.

2. b) is the correct answer. 'package holiday' 可译为'包假期'，指的是由旅行社安排好一切的‘一揽子’旅游。

3. b) is the correct answer. 'ecotourism' 可译为'生态旅游'。

4. a) is the correct answer. Public holidays (sometimes known as 'bank holidays') are days when most people don't have to go to work or school.

     The rest answers are wrongly expressed.

5. b) is the correct answer. A mini-break is a short holiday (usually over a weekend).

     a) A gap year is a year when young people travel or do something less serious than study, between leaving high school and starting university or college. 例如去年英国遭受金融危机时，很多公立大学学院因为财政问题缩减了当年的招生名额。一些申请高校的高中毕业生被通知延期一年入学，而不得不'have a gap year'。

     c) You go on a field trip when you are a student and visit somewhere away from your school or college. 有点像我们学生时代的春游啊秋游啊。。。

6. d) is the correct answer. 固定短语搭配。This is a fixed expression to talk about a holiday when someone ( male or female) does something similar to their usual work instead of having a break from it.
