【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述跟室友相处应该注意的几件事，因为大学时期拥有室友和与室友相处是大部分人都会经历的一件事，不管愿意还是不愿意，我们都应该抱有一个良好的态度去对待大学的寝室生活，与室友友好相处。

1. it can also be a great part of your college experience”中可以看出，不过，这也可能成为你大学体验中一个很好的部分。也就是前面应该是与这段意思相反的句子。故选E。

2. It's not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away, and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to get rid of problems before they become problems.”可以看出，马上就指责他们是不公平的，而沟通则是最好的消除问题的方式，因此应该首先告诉他们你的喜好。故选B

3.概括分析题。从第五段中主要是讲室友之间的冲突大多是因为有没有尊重室友，比如你想要借室友的鞋去踢球，但首先你得先征求室友的同意，如果没有，那么就不要拿别人的东西。故选A。

4. You should expect to learn and grow and change during your time at school.”中可以看出你会期待你在学校的期间能够学习，成长和改变，而后文 ”As the term progresses, realize things will change for both of you.”当学期进行时，要意识到你们两个都会改变。所以可以得知不仅是你想改变，而且你的室友也想。故选G

5. can take comfort knowing you acted like an adult and treated your roommate with respect.”可以看出，你可以安心地知道你表现得像一个成年人而且尊重地对待你的舍友。既然你希望自己被尊重，首先应该尊重别人。故选C。
