I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extrem Wap版

试题详情及答案解析

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 (贴标签) 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. "Thanks."
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.

试题分析：作者和Kate是室友，但两个人的生活习惯却是天壤之别。作者不爱干净，东西扔得到处都是；而Kate很爱干净，东西摆放的整整齐齐。后来她们都无法容忍对方，于是发生了争吵。当知道Kate奶奶得了重病时，作者想为Kate做点什么。于是她开始整理东西，收拾房间。她们最后和好了并学会了该怎样和睦相处。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据第二段“"Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!"”可知，作者的鞋子在Kate的床下，这让Kate很生气，并由此引发了争吵，故选B。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据第四段“All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.”可知，Kate得知奶奶得了重病而变得很难过，这激起了作者的同情心，于是，作者开始收拾房间，作者想向Kate表示关心，故选A。
【小题3】写作手法题。根据“I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects...but mine always...She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything...Kate got neater and I got messier. She would...and I would...”可知，第一段采用的是对比的写作手法，突出了作者与Kate两人的不同之处，故选C。
【小题4】选择最佳标题。文章第一段写的是作者与Kate两个人不同的生活习惯，两个人因为无法再忍受对方而爆发了“战争”，一个突然打来的电话让作者和Kate和好了。根据最后一段“but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on”可知，她们两个人学会了如何和睦相处，故选D。
