Question

【題目】 Having roommates can sometimes be challenging. 【1】 It can be said, though, that nearly all issues are based on one roommate's lack of consideration for another.

Considerate people usually have consideration for others simply because it seems like the best thing to do. On the contrary, inconsiderate people usually don't think of themselves as such. 【2】 This can consequently cause major upset in the atmosphere of a room.

Not all roommates have the same daily schedule, so a common problem that roommates have to deal with is noise. It can be hard to coordinate a time for noise and a time for quiet. One may want to study and the other may want to play music. 【3】

In the shared areas of the room, problems can arise in terms of how much space one or another roommate claims for himself. 【4】 This kind of space issue is often repeated in the refrigerator and other areas where each roommate needs an equal amount of space.

【5】 Although not all problems can be overcome easily, having discussions can sometimes prevent an issue from becoming a major point of tension in the room. For example, sometimes the solution to a problem with space is as simple as a verbal (言語的) exchange of views the problem.

A.There are certain things that roommates may decide not to share.

B.For example, one may take all the shared space for his or her own.

C.This can greatly contribute to the pleasure of living with roommates.

D.And it's hard to explain to these people that they are acting in inconsiderate manners.

E.So it's common that many people experience tough problems when living with others.

F.And one may have friends come over for a talk when the other is sick and trying to rest,

G.Open communication is the best way to come up with a solution to the above problems.

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了常見的與舍友相處時的問題及解決方式。

【1】上文Having roommates can sometimes be challenging (與舍友相處是一件有挑戰(zhàn)的事)與E. So it's common that many people experience tough problems when living with others. (因此，很多人與他人住在一起時會遇到棘手的問題，這很常見。)承接自然，上下文是明顯的因果關(guān)系，tough和challenging是關(guān)鍵詞，故選E項。

【2】上文On the contrary, inconsiderate people usually don't think of themselves as such. (相反，那些不體貼的人通常不認為自己是這樣的)與D. And it's hard to explain to these people that they are acting in inconsiderate manners. (給這些不體諒他人的人很難解釋得通他們的舉止方式不為他人著想。)承接自然，選項中的these people指代上文的inconsiderate people，故選D項。

【3】上文One may want to study and the other may want to play music. (一個人想學(xué)習(xí)，另外一個人想玩音樂)與F. And one may have friends come over for a talk when the other is sick and trying to rest, (當(dāng)一個人生病想要休息的時候，另一個人可能會讓朋友過來聊天)承接自然，與上文形成邏輯上的并列關(guān)系，都是舍友間沖突的情況，故選F項。

【4】上文In the shared areas of the room, problems can arise in terms of how much space one or another roommate claims for himself. (在房間的公共區(qū)域，可能出現(xiàn)的問題是一個或另一個室友要求多少空間是自己的)與B. For example, one may take all the shared space for his or her own.(例如，一個人可能把所有的公共區(qū)域都據(jù)為己有)承接自然，選項與上文形成邏輯上的解釋關(guān)系，shared areas是關(guān)鍵詞，故選B項。

【5】下文Although not all problems can be overcome easily, having discussions can sometimes prevent an issue from becoming a major point of tension in the room.(雖然不是所有的問題都能輕易解決，但討論有時可以防止一個問題成為房間里的主要緊張點)與G. Open communication is the best way to come up with a solution to the above problems. (開誠布公的交流是解決難題的最好辦法)承接自然，上下文都提到了商討可以防止問題升級，discussion和open communication是關(guān)鍵詞，故選G項。
