A.Uncomfortableconditions

B.Littlephysicalspace

C.Lackofexcitement

D.Verticaldirection

【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。根据题干意思，可定位到倒数第二段的最后一句话：Thatmixture,accordingtoBernard,setstheelevatorrideapartfromjustabouteveryothersituationwefindourselvesinaswegoaboutourlives.由此可知，使得elevatorride不同于其它生活经历的是thatmixture,而thatmixture指的是前一句的themixtureofclosenessanddispleasure,即乘坐电梯时的封闭性和令人不悦的影响，B项littlephysicalspace与文中closeness（封闭性）同义替换，为正确答案。所以答案为B项。
