Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or，easily，one of the worst．1（36）EFollow these tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour．
◇Talk things out．

◇Ask before you take．
This applies to food，clothes and anything else．If you want to keep a relationship going，show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first．（39）C
◇Clean up after yourself．
This should do without saying．Don't be lazy．Or，at least，don't bury your roommate in  your clothes and garbage．Most people I've come across in college are messy．（40）DBut being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict．

Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了四种方法成为一个好室友：事情讲出来，不期望是最好的朋友，做事之前问一下，自己收拾干净．

解答 36．E．推理判断题．根据语境Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or，easily，one of the worst可知，拥有室友可能是我们大学时最美好的经历或者最坏的经历之一，关键在于和室友是否有良好的关系．然后作者引出本文话题：如何与室友建立好的关系？故选E．
37．B．推理判断题．根据前一句话I've seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and，instead of  talking to each other，the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs可知，背后抱怨室友只会使情况更加尴尬，创造更多的不愉快．故选B．
38．G．推理判断题．根据语境Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate，especially when you first meet可知，刚和室友见面时，作者建议把室友当成一个新朋友，而不要当成一个好朋友，避免给对方太多压力，把对方吓跑．故选G．
39．C．推理判断题．根据语境If you want to keep a relationship going，show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first可知，要充分尊重室友，要多征求室友的意见．所以即使双方已经同意共同分享一切的时候，也要问一下．故选C．
40．D．推理判断题．根据此段中的内容Don't be lazy．Or，at least，don't bury your roommate in  your clothes and garbage．Most people I've come across in college are messy可知，作者建议不要太懒，虽然不用一直收拾房间，但是要把自己的东西放得有次序，以免与室友因此发生冲突．故选D．

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子．
