The cost of a hotel room usually________ the piece of breakfast.

contain 和 include 虽然都有"包含"的意思，但 contain 可用于表示包含所含之物的全部或部分，而 include 则只是包含一部分。试对比： The parcel contained a dictionary . 那包裹里装的是一本字典。 The parcel included a dictionary . 那包裹里也包括了一本字典。 The tour includes a visit to Paris . 这次旅行包括游览巴黎。 The basket contains a variety of fruits . 这篮子装有各种水果。 (2) including 可以作介词连接介词短语。试比较： Many women were waiting to buy that kind of cloth , including my mother . Many women were waiting to buy that kind of cloth , my mother included . 可以这样说，include 着重"被包含者只是整体中的一部分"。contain 着重"内有"。

你看看已经解决的吧，够详细的。
