【解析】

試題分析：同住一個(gè)屋檐下很久的室友難免互相發(fā)生沖突，沖突如果不好好解決就會(huì)釀成災(zāi)難。為了阻止這種事情在你身上發(fā)生，每一個(gè)沖突都應(yīng)該以一種有效的、健康的方式解決。本文列舉了四種解決方法。

【1】E 根據(jù)上句：同住一個(gè)屋檐下很久的室友難免互相發(fā)生沖突。再根據(jù)空格下句：為了阻止這種事情在你身上發(fā)生，每一個(gè)沖突都應(yīng)該以一種有效的、健康的方式解決。可知空格處表達(dá)的意思是：當(dāng)一個(gè)沖突從來不會(huì)得到解決時(shí)，災(zāi)難會(huì)降臨。故選E。

【2】D 根據(jù)上句：一旦沖突發(fā)生，你需要安排一個(gè)討論沖突的時(shí)間。再根據(jù)空格下句：他們可能會(huì)考慮他們想討論的任何問題。可知空格處的意思是：這為雙方提供了一個(gè)準(zhǔn)備的機(jī)會(huì)。故選D。

【3】G 根據(jù)上句：事先制定規(guī)則可以防止尖叫比賽的爆發(fā)�？芍�此空要表達(dá)的是：這是因?yàn)殡p方都知道他們將有機(jī)會(huì)發(fā)言。故選G。

【4】B 此題是小標(biāo)題。根據(jù)此段第一句：你可以用你的討論，指出你的室友他們的偉大的特點(diǎn)和你喜歡他們的具體的事情�？芍�B. Point out good things about roommates

（指出室友好的方面。）符合題意。

【5】F 根據(jù)空格上文：這個(gè)協(xié)議應(yīng)該討論規(guī)則是什么，還有違背規(guī)則存在什么樣的結(jié)果。隨后下文舉了一個(gè)違背規(guī)則的例子。因此可知F. A consequence may be that the violator(違反者)pays $ 5 for breaking the rules（結(jié)果可能是違法者為違反規(guī)則支付5美元。）符合題意。
