The Carlton Hall, conveniently situated just minutes from the motorway, is the ideal venue for your conference. Not only do we offer superb hospitality, but our fully equipped business center provides a complete typing and copying service, included in the conference fee. The restaurant also enjoys an excellent reputation, offering everything from a midday sandwich to a formal dinner.

答案与分析：
1．D 在D篇短文中，最后一句话“The restaurant also enjoys an excellent reputation, offering everything from a midday sandwich to a formal dinner”是“这家餐馆因为提供快餐三明治、正餐而获得极好的声誉”的意思，正好符合1 中“is well known for the quality of its food”的意思。一般情况下，做这一类的题目主要是寻找相同或者相近意义的词或者短语，对考生的词汇量要求较高。
2. C 在C篇短文中，最后一句中的“special deals”意为折扣、回扣之类的优惠，也就是2中“Discounts”之意。这里考查考生是否能够灵活运用所掌握得语言知识，是否能用不同的句型、词汇、词组表达相同的意思。
3． A 在A 便短文中，第三行“Our reception desk is staffed round the clock, ready to deal with any calls”的意思是：我们的接待处是24小时服务，连续一整天都有值班人员处理电话事务。3 的意思是：这里在任何时间都有人值班。两者的意思是倚着的。本题主要考考查的是“round the clock”的意思。“round the clock”是一个固定词组，意为“昼夜不停、连续一整天、毫不疲倦地、不松劲地”，理解了这个词组的意思，这道题就迎刃而解了。
4. B 在B篇短文中，第二行“all our meeting rooms have been upgraded to include the most up-to-date facilities”的意思是：我们所有的会议室都装备了最新式的设备。这正是4所描述的意思：这里有最新的会议设备可以用。做这道题，关键是分析出复合形容词“up-to-date”和“latest”之间的对应关系。这两个形容词是同样的意思，都是“最近的、最新的”。本题考查特定词汇之间的相同意义，考查考生对词汇的掌握。
5． C 在C篇短文中，第一句提到“The Carlton Hall has been completely refurbished in order to re-create the elegance and comfort of times gone By”，意思是：卡尔顿会堂已经被彻底地刷新，为的是重新创造出曾经的、高雅舒适。而5 的意思是：现在的会议中心有传统的气氛，两者在意思上是一致的。其中“times gone By”的意思是“过去的时间”，和5中的“traditional”相互照应。
6． D 在D篇短文中，第二行“but our fully equipped business center provides a complete typing and copying service, included in the conference fee”的意思是：我们装备齐全的商业中心停工全部的打字和复印服务，这些费用都包含在会议费用之中。5中的“Secretarial support”指的就是“typing and copying service”。这些费用包含在会议费用之中，当然就不用再额外收费了（at no extra charge）。要注意这里的“charge”是收费的意思，而不是“负责、主管”，也不是“控诉、告诫、指示”。
