It is the constant nearness of architecture during our life that has 17 us in this way.
答案：(D) blinded
blinded us（使我們變得盲目／遲鈍）呼應全文主題——建築因與我們朝夕相處而讓我們對其美感變得視而不見；treated／guided／pleased 均不符合此處「因熟悉而遲鈍」的語意。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個都是過去分詞，接在 has 後面組成現在完成式，文法上都放得進去；treated 語意最中性，很容易被當成安全牌。
關鍵在句尾的 in this way（變成這樣），它是回指，指的是前一句剛講完的狀態：We are in general insensitive to architecture as an art（我們對建築這門藝術普遍無感）。所以空格要填的動詞，必須能造成「無感」這個結果。再往前看，篇章第二句早就埋了伏筆：either it is bad art or we are abnormally blind（不是作品差，就是我們瞎得反常）。blind 當動詞是「使看不見、蒙蔽」，has blinded us in this way 就是「把我們變成這樣看不見」，前後完全接得起來。另外這一句是強調句型 It is ... that ...，還原成 The constant nearness of architecture has ______ us，主詞是「天天就在身邊」這件事，不是建築本身。
treated（對待）語意太空，「以這種方式對待我們」沒有說出造成什麼結果，接不住 in this way 所指的「無感」。guided（引導）與 pleased（取悅）方向都相反，引導與取悅不會讓人變得無感；pleased 還會與第二句的 Any art must give us pleasure 撞在一起，讀起來像在說藝術成功了，與整段的批評剛好相反。
blind somebody to something（使某人對……視而不見）、in this way（以這種方式、變成這樣）、It is ... that ...（強調句型，把要強調的部分提到 It is 後面）、constant（持續不斷的）、nearness（就在身邊、貼近）、please（取悅）
Architecture is an art. Any art must give us pleasure; if it doesn't, either it is bad art or we are abnormally blind. We are in general insensitive to architecture 16 an art and to the joy it may bring to us. It is the constant nearness of architecture during our life that has 17 us in this way.
We forget that it is an art of here and now; because it is with us every day and 18 we must have houses to live in, we are apt to think of them solely as dwelling places. Therefore we think of architecture as some vague, learned thing having to do with French cathedrals or Italian palaces or Greek temples, 19 with New York or Chicago streets or Los Angeles suburbs.
This false belief has strengthened in us until our eyes are 20 and our minds are deadened to all the beauty that is being created around us today. Eventually we lose all the fine deep pleasure that we might otherwise experience from our ordinary surroundings.
