解析：此空应填动词的被动形式。根据句意，“一栋大型建筑物可以很多功

能”，此空所缺的词应该表示“具有，包含”的意思，纵览选项，contained和

composed均表示“组成”。但是常用搭配becomposedof意为“由……组成”，

而该句搭配介词为in,可以和contain连用，表示包括在一个整体之内。故本题

选Ho

解析：此处应填形容词。而且该形容词用来修饰importance,意为“室内设

计的重要性就选项中有一对反义词obscure（模糊的）和evident（明

显的），很明显后者evident符合句意。故本题选G。

解析•：此处应填副词修饰changed。根据句意“如果你的卧室_______变得

跟餐厅一样，你可能会感到惊讶”，该空应填含有“意外”的意思。选项中specially

和suddenly为副词，但是specially表达“特别地”，不符合句意，suddenly“突

然”合适。故本题选L。

□.coordinate

解析：此处应填名词，根据句意“很明显的是，室内设计师最的是

特定空间的功能”，选项中attention,concern,decisions和balance为名词，

attention意为“注意力”，一般不用important修饰，concern更为合适，表示“最

关心的问题”。将decisions（决定）和balance（平衡）代入句中,不符合语义。

故本题选Eo

解析：此处应填动词的被动语态。该句意为“比如，一座剧院座位排列的视

觉效果和音响效果差，进出口又少，不管它多么华丽都无法达到剧院的用途”。

由此可知该动词可以被beautifully修饰，选项中deco-rated符合句意，意为“装

修，装饰”。故本题选I。

解析：此处缺少一个动词原形。根据句意“他/她必须外观、灯光以及从

天花板到地板的所有装饰”可知，可选的是balance和coordinate。根据句意，

应该协调(coordinate)所有的装饰而不是平衡(balance)。故本题选0。

意“根据所需功能servethefunctionof意为”起的作用”。故本

题选Mo

参考译文

虽然室内设计早在建筑学伊始就已存在，但是直到最近它才发展成专门的行

业。室内设计师之所以很重要，部分原因在于一栋大型建筑物可以具有很多功能。

当我们意识到我们在四面墙内待的时间有多长时，室内设计的重要性就显而

易见了。无论我们什么时候待在室内，我们总是希望周围环境尽量美观舒适。我

们也希望每一处都物尽其用。如果你的卧室突然变得跟餐厅一样，你可能会感到

惊讶。如果一间商务办公室看起来像学校，你也会感到奇怪。

很明显的是，室内设计师最关心的问题是特定空间的功能。比如，一座剧院

座位排列的视觉效果和音响效果差，进出口又少，不管它装饰得多么华丽都无法

达到剧院的用途。然而针对任何一种空间，设计师必须做出许多同样的设计决定。

他/她必须协调外观、灯光以及从天花板到地板的所有装饰。另外，设计师通常

得根据所需功能选择家具或设计嵌入式家具。
