答案解析

Passage 6

11. D细节题。抓住题干的关键词Non-residents,注意捕捉与此相关的信息。录音中 两次提到 non-residents。一次是 Non-resident membership is available;另一次是 We have a fully licensed restaurant for residents and non-residents,因此非住店人员 有权使用D。其他三项需成为会员时才有权使用。

12. A细节题。注意题干关键词business clients。录音中提到对于商业客户，旅馆提 供了带有电话的商务套间、能满足200名代表的会议设施、到伯明翰机场接送客人 服务。因此只有A未提及，答案为A。

13. D主旨题。根据录音中提到的旅馆的设施与服务可判断，这家旅馆从整体上给人 的印象是D。其余三项的表述流露出贬义，要么说法证据不足如B和C,要么说法 不正确如A。
