A.Theenthusiasmfortransportvehicles

B.Thedesireforaremarkablemachine

C.Theparticularinterestofexperts

D.Thegeneralviewofelevator

69.AccordingtoProf.Bernard,whathasmadetheelevatorridedifferentfromotherlifeexperiences?

A.Uncomfortableconditions

B.Littlephysicalspace

C.Lackofexcitement

D.Verticaldirection

【答案】B

【解析】細(xì)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(shí)的封閉性和令人不悅的影響，B項(xiàng)littlephysicalspace與文中closeness（封閉性）同義替換，為正確答案。所以答案為B項(xiàng)。
