【题目】How to be a good roommate
Roommate horror stories are pretty popular topics of conversation at school. Follow a few simple tips to ensure you’re not the awful roommate everyone’s talking about.
Respect each other
First and foremost, you need to respect your roommate.
【1】If your roommate is sleeping, keep the noise and light levels down. If your roommate is studying, don’t have loud conversations in the same room. If in doubt, ask yourself whether you would be annoyed if your roommate didn’t do the above things for you.
Keep it clean. 【2】Hair in the shower or bathrooms littered with magazines or dirty clothes. Respect means keeping your side of the room clean. And hopefully, if your roommate sees you keeping your side clean, they’ll be more likely to keep theirs clean.
Keep your hands off their stuff. 【3】If you really need to borrow something of theirs, always ask before you do. If they say no, don’t get angry. Some people just don’t like other people using their stuff.
Set basic rules
You and your roommate should establish some basic rules. For instance, I really don’t like it when people have phone conversations in the room while I am studying. 【4】I’d rather be writing my paper than listening to you tell your best friend about your weekend. So discuss that with your roommate. Make a compromise, but the tie should go to the person studying. Another example is to discuss cleaning duties. Dividing cleaning duties will make your room cleaner and it will help ease roommate tensions. 【5】
A. Be considerate.
B. Talk on the phone.
C. Don’t use your roommate’s items without asking.
D. I’m not good at doing several things at the same time.
E. I have heard many horror stories about dirty roommates.
F. Taking out the trash and tidying the room are just a few things to consider.
G. It is amazing how people don’t understand what it means to be considerate.

【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。如何成为一个好舍友?建议如下:相互尊敬表现在1.要体贴;2.保持室内干净;3.不要动别人的东西;另外共处一室要有一些基本的原则共同遵守。
【1】考查段落的归纳。从文章的结构看,本段的意思是:要设身处地地为他人着想。所以这里选A(要体贴)。与上下文一致。
【2】考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:要保持室内的干净。空后一句的意思是:浴室里的头发,还有到处是杂志脏衣服。所以这里选E(我已经听说过许多关于不讲卫生的舍友的事)。与上下文一致。
【3】考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:不要动别人的东西。空后的意思是:如果你真想借用他们的东西,事先要问一下。所以这里选C(不要没有征求别人的意见就用。)与上文一致。
【4】考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:我学习时喜欢安静;空后的意思是:我更愿意写论文而不是听你和你的好朋友谈论如何度过周末。所以这里选D(我不擅长在同一个时间内做几件事。)与上下文一致。
【5】考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:打扫清洁的职责会让你的房间更干净,这将有助于缓解室友的紧张关系。所以这里选F(清理垃圾和整理房间只是需要考虑的几件事。)与上文一致。
