Ⅱ.七选五

Some people choose to live in a flat sharing with others.Others can't imagine leaving their perfect flats to live with lots of other people.

If you live alone, you're responsible for your own space.If you need your quiet space, you're guaranteed to have it.  1     And you can catch up with work without being interrupted or have a long and undisturbed bath.

However, there's no one around if you need a helping hand.If something gets broken, you'll have to fix it yourself.  2     You don't have friends at home to invite you out and help you meet people.There's no one at home to have a cup of tea with and talk about how your day was.

  3     Sometimes when you get home, the cake your colleague gave you as a thank-you present is mysteriously gone.Whenever you want a relaxing bath, there's no hot water left and someone wants to come in every five minutes.It's also rarely quiet.Someone always seems to have a birthday party when you want to go to bed early.

But in spite of all that, there can be some wonderful moments, like waking up to the sound of the hoover (吸尘器).  4     And when you come home after a long day, you find your housemates making pizza with leftover vegetables while you watch a film.  5   

So, what's your choice?

A．You can be alone quite a lot.

B．That's when it all seems worth it.

C．You don't have to share the sofa with anyone.

D．Living alone has become more popular in recent years.

E．It's not all good when you live with other people, though.

F．You will realize how important your friends and family are.

G．You will realize someone else is doing the cleaning for a change.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了独自生活以及与别人合住的优缺点。

1．C　[本空承接上文，是对上一句“If you need your quiet space, you're guaranteed to have it.”的举例：如果你需要安静的空间，你肯定会拥有它。你不需要和别人分享沙发。]

2．A　[本空后两句是对这一处内容的具体说明：你不会收到舍友的外出邀请，也没有人和你在家里边喝茶边聊天；由此可推知，本空是指你会经常感到孤独。]

3．E　[根据下文内容可知，本段谈论了和别人住在一起也并不总是那么美好。]

4．G　[本空承接上一句中提到的那些美妙时刻中的一种情况：在吸尘器的声音中醒来，你会意识到有人正在打扫房间。]

5．B　[本空是对最后一段内容的概括：这些美妙的时刻会使你感到做出和别人住在一起这个选择是值得的。]
