Question

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (貼標(biāo)簽）everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed! ” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬)under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.

Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, MThanks. ”

Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together： giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

【解析】文章大意：作者在本文中敘述了自己的室友Kate是一個非常有條理的人，而我是一個很沒有規(guī)矩意識的人，東西總是亂放。后來我們兩個人之間發(fā)生的一場沖突讓我學(xué)會了去關(guān)心她，學(xué)會了要收拾整理自己的東西。學(xué)會了如何做一個室友。

1.考察細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段1，2行：take your shoes away！why under my bed，可知讓她發(fā)怒的是她看見我的鞋子在她的床下面。故D正確。

2.推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后2行All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart突然我的心里產(chǎn)生了一個很溫暖的感覺。接著在文章第四段里作者主動地幫助打掃房間，可知作者這樣做為了表示自己的關(guān)心，因為Kate的奶奶生病了，她非常難受。故C正確。

3.推理題。在第一段里作者詳細(xì)敘述了Kate是一個很有條理的人，她的東西總是很整潔，有些東西甚至都貼上標(biāo)簽。而我總是很雜亂，東西亂放。作者是通過敘述我們兩人之間的差異來組織這一段的內(nèi)容的。故B正確。

4.主旨大意題。作者在本文中敘述了自己的室友Kate是一個非常有條理的人，而我是一個很沒有規(guī)矩意識的人，東西總是亂放。后來我們兩個人之間發(fā)生的一場沖突讓我學(xué)會了去關(guān)心她，學(xué)會了要收拾整理自己的東西。學(xué)會了如何做一個室友。故D正確。
