Claire Metcalf

“The concept is great, but the staff are the ones who really make it. ”she says. “It takes a lot of discipline to always be friendly, but the staff at Staybridge Suites do that. They genuinely care about you.”

Andrew Roberts

“One of the best things is having my own kitchen. I often end up working late and I don’t fancy eating in a restaurant on my own, so cooking for myself is a big drawcard. ”

“The main thing for me is being able to cook and have my own little flat. The staff are amazing. It is great to be recognized by them, ”he says.

Pauline Robinson

“What I love about it is the way that you are treated by the staff,” she says. “Some of the staff have been there all that time and they do look after you well. As a woman staying on my own, it is reassuring that they look out for you, and recently when I was poorly they even brought things I needed to my room. ”

Ryan Ruckledge

“The fully-equipped kitchen is great. I always have a one-bed apartment so I have a separate kitchen and dining room and I’m able to relax and cook some meals. Eating out can feel a bit much when you do it day in and day out—it makes you hate what you do—and I don’t want that.

【解析】

本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了四位游客对Staybridge套房的看法：为什么选择，什么方面让他们最喜欢，什么又会让他们以后继续去住等。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段Staybridge Suites offer you a range of home comforts．可知Staybridge Suites会给你提供各种各样的像家一样舒适的东西和情境，这也是吸引游客的地方，故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据Andrew Roberts所在那部分第一段“One of the best things is having my own kitchen．以及Ryan Ruckledge所说的那部分第一句“The fully-equipped kitchen is great．所以评价最高的就是这两位游客，故选C。

3.词义猜测题。根据前一句所说的，“我”不喜欢吃餐馆，所以为自己煮饭真是一个非常大的（），括号里是填褒义词，A,D排除，套房可以煮饭这应该是吸引“我”的地方，所以此处的drawcard应该理解为吸引人的东西，而不是荣幸，故选B。

4.推理判断题。本文从第一段开始就在介绍Staybridge套房的诸多优点，并以游客的角度来说明Staybridge套房的各种好的地方，所以肯定是在打广告，故选A。
