　　A.Theenthusiasmfortransportvehicles

　　B.Thedesireforaremarkablemachine

　　C.Theparticularinterestofexperts

　　D.Thegeneralviewofelevator

　　【解析】代詞指代題。題干意思為：第一段中的劃線詞“this”指的是什么？可以快速定位到第一段劃線詞所在句：Dr.ChristopherWilkisamemberofasmallgroupofelevatorexpertswhoconsiderthisamisunderstanding.大意為：“該教授認為這是誤解”，而this通常指代上文的事物，因此可以定位到上一句，即文章的首句：Formostcitypeople,…。從該句可以看出大多數(shù)都市人認為電梯是unremarkable（平凡的），可知教授認為大多數(shù)人的這種認識是有誤的，即答案為D項。

　　A.Uncomfortableconditions

　　B.Littlephysicalspace

　　C.Lackofexcitement

　　D.Verticaldirection

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干意思，可定位到倒數(shù)第二段的最后一句話：Thatmixture,accordingtoBernard,setstheelevatorrideapartfromjustabouteveryothersituationwefindourselvesinaswegoaboutourlives.由此可知，使得elevatorride不同于其它生活經(jīng)歷的是thatmixture,而thatmixture指的是前一句的themixtureofclosenessanddispleasure,即乘坐電梯時的封閉性和令人不悅的影響，B項littlephysicalspace與文中closeness（封閉性）同義替換，為正確答案。所以答案為B項。
