1.B。四个选择项都有“包含，构成”之意，但用法不同。句子中有助动词be的存在，因此，这就点明了所选的动词应能够使用被动语态。contain作及物动词时，意为“包含”，可用于主动或被动语态，故为正确选项。
2.D。我们可以从词义的搭配上来加以区分。attractive意为“有吸引力的”，appropriate意为“合适的，恰当的”，这两个词都不能与作为主语的importance搭配。obscure意为“模糊不清的”，evident意为“明显的”，文章第二段一直强调室内设计的重要性，因此重要性是明显的。故选D。
3.A。空格所在部分是how much time+定语从句，“surrounded by…”是过去分词做主语we的补语，相当于“when we are surrounded by…”。空格填入的词必须能够与其逻辑宾语time搭配，填入动词的含意要有“花费，消耗”的意思。故答案为A。
4.B。本句的后面出现了关键信息词as possible。as…as possible意为“尽可能”，是固定短语。as…as意为“和……一样”， not so…as意为“不如……”。
5.D。some修饰可数名词复数时，表示“一些”，而句子中的place是单数;当它用在单数可数名词前时表示“某种”，也与题意不符。any表示“任何一个”，与文意不符。this place是特定地指某地，在文中作者是泛指，因此this不符合题意。each意为“每一个”，相当于every，each place在此处指室内的每一个地方，故符合题意。
6.C。选项中的四个词都可用来表达人的感觉或感情色彩。上文提到，我们也期望房间的每一个地方的设计都与它的用途相适合;空格所在句子指出：如果你的卧室突然变得像饭店一样，你肯定会感到……由于“卧室像饭店”显然是不符合房间的用途，因此空格处的形容词应带有贬义。故C为正确选项。
7.A。选项的四个介词都可以与动词look相搭配。look like the inside ofa restaurant意为“看起来像餐馆店堂一样”。
8.C。right除了表示“正确的，合适的”意义之外，还可表达出人的心理活动，not feel right表示“感觉不太舒服”，正符合题意。
9.B。concern与care都表示“关心”。但是care一般用于带感情色彩的事情，有“照料，关切”的意思。故B为正确答案。
10.D。我们发现在后面出现了for any kind ofspace(对任何空间而言)，与前面相互呼应，所以应选space“空问”。
11.A。本题的语境句是一个双重否定句。with短语中的三点内容，即poor sightlines、poor sound.shaping qualities和few entries and exits中的poor和few都具有否定的意义，正好与剧院内部设计的“不合理”相对应。根据上下文，必须继续保持few的否定意义。A为正确选项。
12.B。解答本题的关键在于弄清楚句子前后的指代关系。该句可简化为a theater will not work for__________ purpose。根据上下文，此处应填入表示所属关系的物主代词，同时，所填入的代词既要与前面的主句的主语a theater(单数，指物)一致，也要与后面从句中的主语it一致。故B为正确选项。
13.D。paint意为“刷油漆”，cover意为“覆盖”，这两个词都不符合旬意。ornament和decorate都有“装饰”之意，但具体的含义不同。0rnament意为用物件“装饰点缀，美化”，decorate除有“装饰”之意外，还有对房屋进行“装潢，粉刷”之意。室内设计的职责主要是进行室内的装修设计。故decorated应为本题的正确答案。
14.C。固定搭配，只有decision可选，在文中表示“做出同样的决定”。
15.B。in addition表示“此外”，属于固定搭配。
