【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】本题考查动词的用法。A项consisted意为“包含，包括”，通常用于词组consist of...例如：Water consists of hydrogen and oxygen.但此短语不能用于被动语态，因此可排除。B项contained意为“包含，具有”。例如：the can contains milk.罐里装的是牛奶。a list containing twelve items包括12个项目的一览表。文中此句意为：内部装潢已经变得很重要，部分原因是由于单独的一幢大楼内部可能具有多种功用。因此B选项符合句意。C项composed意为“组成，构成”，常用于被动语态。常用词组是：be cornposed of(由……组成)。例如：Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen.水是由氢和氧化合而成的。此空后面是介词in，因此不能与composed构成合理搭配，应排除。D项comprised意为“包含，包括；由……组成”通常不用于被动结构。例如：。The committee comprises seven persons.委员会由7人组成。此句为被动结构，因此D项也可排除。
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】本题考查形容词的词义。A项obscure意为“晦涩的；无名的；隐藏的”，例如：an obscure text难解的文本；an obscure author不知名的作家；an obscure meaning言外之意。B项attractive意为“有吸引力的，引起兴趣的”。C项appropriate意为“适合的，恰当的”，例如：Plain, simple cloths are appropriate for school wear.简朴的服装适合上学时穿。D项evident意为“明显的，明白的”，例如：evident defeat(disappointment)明显的失败(失望)。此句意为：“当我们意识到要在四面墙中度过多少时光的时候，内部装潢的重要性就很……。”很显然此处只有D项符合句意。其他三项均不正确。
【答案解析】本题考查名词的词义。A项care意为“小心；担心：留心”。例如：Take care there's no mistake.当心不要弄错。The children have the best of care in new China.在新中国儿童受到无微不至的关怀。B项concern表示“所关切的事；关心，担心”，例如：an important concern要事；show concern for sb.对某人表示关心。C项attention意为“注意：注意力；留心”，例如：pay attention to state affairs关心国家大事；listen with attention专心听。D项intention意为“意图；打算；意义”，例如：have no intention of staying无意留下，不打算留下。He did it by intention.他故意做了这事。根据上下文及相关的背景知识可知，只有B项符合，为正确答案。
【答案解析】本题考查副词的用法。too修饰形容词时，强调数量上不合理或不可接受，常译为“太……”。此处讲到“一个戏院的出入口太少当然会不合理，”故选A。quite一般不可以直接修饰few，通常构成固定词组quite a few表示“不少”的意思。此处缺少a，所以此项不正确。a与few一起构成短语a(few)，表示“若干”。如果说一个戏院有若干出入口，当然是合理的，而不是“will not work”(不合理)。显然不符合句意，可排除。far通常不与数量形容词连用，也可排除。
