解析：此空應(yīng)填動詞的被動形式。根據(jù)句意，“一棟大型建筑物可以很多功

能”，此空所缺的詞應(yīng)該表示“具有，包含”的意思，縱覽選項(xiàng)，contained和

composed均表示“組成二但是常用搭配becomposedof意為“由...組成”，

而該句搭配介詞為in,可以利contain連用，表示包括在一個整體之內(nèi)。故本題

選Ho

顯的），很明顯后者evident符合句意。故本題選G。

O.coordinate

解析：此處應(yīng)填副詞修飾changed。根據(jù)句意“如果你的臥室變得

跟餐廳一樣，你可能會感到驚訝”，該空應(yīng)填含有“意外”的意思。選項(xiàng)中specially

和suddenly為副詞，但是specially表達(dá)“特別地”，不符合句意,suddenly“突

然”合適。故本題選L。

解析：此處應(yīng)填名詞，根據(jù)句意“很明顯的是，室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)師最的是

特定空間的功能”,選項(xiàng)中attention,concern,decisions和balance為名詞,

attention意為“注意力”，一般不用important修飾，concern更為合適，表示“最

關(guān)心的問題二將decisions（決定）和balance（平衡）代入句中，不符合語義。

故本題選Eo

解析：此處應(yīng)填動詞的被動語態(tài)。該句意為“比如，一座劇院座位排列的視

覺效果和音響效果差，進(jìn)出口又少，不管它多么華麗都無法達(dá)到劇院的用途”。

由此可知該動詞可以被beautifully修飾，選項(xiàng)中deco-rated符合句意，意為“裝

修，裝飾”。故本題選I。

由此可知該名詞和動詞make搭配，選項(xiàng)中makedecisions意為“做出決定”。故

本題選Ko

解析：此處缺少一個動詞原形。根據(jù)句意“他/她必須外觀、燈光以及從

天花板到地板的所有裝飾”可知，可選的是balance和coordinate。根據(jù)句意，

應(yīng)該協(xié)調(diào)(coordinate)所有的裝飾而不是平衡(balance)。故本題選0。

解析：此處考查needtobedone結(jié)構(gòu)，選項(xiàng)中served符合語法，也符合句

意“根據(jù)所需功能"<servethefunctionof意為"起...的作用二故本

題選M。

參考譯文

雖然室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)早在建筑學(xué)伊始就已存在，但是直到最近它才發(fā)展成專門的行

業(yè)。室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)師之所以很重要，部分原因在于一棟大型建筑物可以具有很多功能。

當(dāng)我們意識到我們在四面墻內(nèi)待的時間有多長時，室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)的重要性就顯而

易見了。無論我們什么時候待在室內(nèi)，我們總是希望周圍環(huán)境盡量美觀舒適。我

們也希望每一處都物盡其用。如果你的臥室突然變得跟餐廳一樣，你可能會感到

驚訝。如果一間商務(wù)辦公室看起來像學(xué)校，你也會感到奇怪。

很明顯的是，室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)師最關(guān)心的問題是特定空間的功能。比如，一座劇院

座位排列的視覺效果和音響效果差，進(jìn)出口又少，不管它裝飾得多么華麗都無法

達(dá)到劇院的用途。然而針對任何一種空間，設(shè)計(jì)師必須做出許多同樣的設(shè)計(jì)決定。

他/她必須協(xié)調(diào)外觀、燈光以及從天花板到地板的所有裝飾。另外，設(shè)計(jì)師通常

得根據(jù)所需功能選擇家具或設(shè)計(jì)嵌入式家具。
