(暑期项目旨在为学生提供在大学学习的机会，结识来自世界各地的其他学生，并探索著名的牛津城。)”可知，参加这个项目可以探索该校所在城市牛津。又根据Cambridge Summer School中的“Explore the city that shaped some of the world’s famous minds, including Sir Isaac Newton and Sylvia Plath. (探索塑造了包括艾萨克·牛顿爵士和西尔维亚·普拉斯在内的一些世界著名思想家的城市。)”可知，参加剑桥暑期学校可以探索该校所在的剑桥市。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Oxford Summer School中最后一行“Dates: 15 July-30 August (日期：7月15日至8月30日)”，Cambridge Summer School中最后一行“Dates: 20 July-28 August (日期：7月20日至8月28日)”，Earlscliffe Summer School中最后一行“Dates: 20 June-31 July (日期：6月20日至7月31日)”，Rochester College Summer School中最后一行“Dates: 25 June-28 July (日期：6月25日至7月28日)”可知，Earlscliffe Summer School项目于6月20日开始，是四个项目中开始时间最早的。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文的标题“Summer Schools(夏季学校)”以及首段“As the UK’s top ranked summer schools, these schools will deliver an outstanding summer experience in a multi-national, fun, and secure setting.(作为英国排名最高的暑期学校，这些学校将在跨国、有趣和安全的环境中提供出色的暑期体验。)”可知，本文介绍英国四所著名学校的暑期项目和各项目能给学生带来什么收获等，因此可推断该文章应出现在教育宣传手册中。故选A项。 B I spent all of my 30s saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I didn’t like. This was a people-pleasing technique. I thought it would speed up people’s opinion of me: the woman who could do it all. At the time, I thought I was killing it. I was making new friends and developing new interests. I joined the board of my children’s school and packed my days with around 20 other activities to do. And then several events changed everything: pandemic restrictions (疫情限制), serious medical problems and losing my job. All these helped me see how burnt out I was. All at once, I realized how good it felt not to be busy every second of every day. For the first time, I could carefully choose how I spent my days. Having to say no turned into the beauty of choosing to say no. Looking back, the pressure to say yes and smile was my choice. I felt obliged (有义务的) to say yes, from driving people to the airport to exchanging a carpool day, from attending charity events to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered good solutions. I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends, or helping someone out when they’re in a pinch. Instead, it’s a small change in mindset, taking a pause before agreeing. I take a breath, and check my energy and ability before jumping in. Most importantly, I tell my kids there’s nothing wrong with saying no. To give of yourself is important but to save yourself is important, too. 4. Why did the author say yes to almost everything in her 30s? A. To make more friends. B. To please and impress others. C. To meet the needs of others. D. To improve her problem-solving skills. 5. What events caused the author to rethink about her choices? A. Joining the board of her children’s school. B. Listening to podcasts about health improvement. C. Pandemic restrictions, health problems and job loss. D. The charity events she attended regularly. 6. How did the author feel after choosing to say no? A. Worried. B. Unhappy. C. Confident. D. Light-hearted. 7. What does the author want to convey through this article? A. Saying no is part of self-care. B. Saying yes is a sign of weakness. C. Being helpful brings more friends. D. Being busy leads to burnout. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在30多岁时总是对各种事情说“是”，后来经历了一些事情后开始学会说“不”，并意识到说“不”是自我关爱的一部分。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I spent all of my 30s saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I didn’t like. This was a people-pleasing technique. I thought it would speed up people’s opinion of me: the woman who could do it all.(我30多岁的时候一直在说“是”。对我自己想做的事说“是”，但很多时候对我自己不喜欢的事也说“是”。这是一种取悦他人的技巧。我以为这会加快人们对我的看法：一个无所不能的女人)”可知，作者在30多岁时几乎对所有事情都说“是”是为了取悦和给别人留下深刻印象。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“And then several events changed everything: pandemic restrictions (疫情限制), serious medical problems and losing my job. All these helped me see how burnt out I was.(然后有几件事改变了一切：疫情限制、严重的医疗问题和失业。所有这些都让我看到我是多么疲惫不堪)”可知，疫情限制、健康问题和失业让作者重新思考自己的选择。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“All at once, I realized how good it felt not to be busy every second of every day. For the first time, I could carefully choose how I spent my days. Having to say no turned into the beauty of choosing to say no.(突然间，我意识到每天不忙每一秒的感觉有多好。我第一次可以仔细选择如何度过我的日子。不得不说“不”变成了选择说“不”的美好)”可知，作者选择说“不”后感觉很轻松。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Most importantly, I tell my kids there’s nothing wrong with saying no. To give of yourself is important but to save yourself is important, too.(最重要的是，我告诉我的孩子们，说“不”没有错。奉献自己很重要，但拯救自己也很重要)”可知，作者想通过这篇文章传达“说‘不’是自我关爱的一部分”这个观点。故选A。 C Compared to a sport like soccer, this one may seem frightening. It’s all about tackling (抱摔) — getting knocked down and knocking down others. But it’s loved by millions across the world. It’s rugby (橄榄球)! On Sept 8, the men’s rugby World Cup will start in France. The first match will be between France and New Zealand, but France may be feeling a bit nervous. Although it is a country with a small population, New Zealand has the best rugby team in the world. Sione Multipola, 36, is a rugby player and coach from New Zealand. Rugby is the national sport in New Zealand. From the grassroots to the professional level, well-established pathways are in place for rugby, according to Multipola. And lots of kids start playing the sport from a young age, including himself. “I was inspired by my siblings and gathered with my friends just about every Saturday to play,” said Multipola. Multipola said it’s the sport’s exciting nature that attracts so many players and fans. “Unlike soccer, where physical contact is limited, rugby’s physicality adds an extra layer of excitement and intensity (强度).” This makes everything very unpredictable. And comebacks and last-minute victories are common,“keeping spectators on the edge of their seats”. The tackling aspect of rugby can seem dangerous but Multipola makes sure that there are strict rules and guidelines in place for safety. “As a coach, I see new players feel scared about getting hurt,” said Multipola,“but we teach them the rules and safe ways to tackle. Also when you expect to be tackled, it becomes less scary.” A good rugby player needs to be fast, strong and agile, said Multipola. And it’s all about strategy, so you need to follow a good game plan and be prepared to make quick decisions. The 20 teams playing at this year’s Rugby World Cup — the tenth one to be held since 1987-have their game plans ready. Can New Zealand get the title for the fourth time? We’ll have to wait and see 8. Which country has the best rugby team in the world, according to the author? A. France. B. New Zealand. C. Canada. D. Australia. 9. What does Multipola think makes rugby so popular? A. Limited physical contact. B. The teamwork involved in the game. C. Its easy-to-follow rules and guidelines. D. Its exciting and unpredictable nature. 10. What qualities does a good rugby player need, according to Multipola? A. Focus and a positive attitude. B. Strength, speed and strategy. C. Courage and good judgement. D. Balance, teamwork and leadership. 11. What’s the writing purpose of the passage? A. To introduce some information about the sport — rugby. B. To introduce Multipola’s experience in the sport — rugby. C. To tell readers about the rules of the sport — rugby. D. To report the Rugby World Cup in France. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍橄榄球运动的特点、受欢迎原因、运动员所需素质以及2023年法国橄榄球世界杯的相关情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although it is a country with a small population, New Zealand has the best rugby team in the world. (尽管新西兰是一个人口稀少的国家，但它拥有世界上最好的橄榄球队。)”可知，作者认为新西兰拥有世界上最好的橄榄球队。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Multipola said it’s the sport’s exciting nature that attracts so many players and fans. “Unlike soccer, where physical contact is limited, rugby’s physicality adds an extra layer of excitement and intensity (强度).” This makes everything very unpredictable. (Multipola说，正是这项运动令人兴奋的特性吸引了如此多的运动员和球迷。“与身体接触有限的足球不同，橄榄球的对抗性增加了额外的刺激感和强度。这使得一切都变得非常不可预测。”)”可知，Multipola认为橄榄球受欢迎的原因是其令人兴奋且不可预测的特性。故选D项。 10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“A good rugby player needs to be fast, strong and agile, said Multipola. And it’s all about strategy, so you need to follow a good game plan and be prepared to make quick decisions. (Multipola说，一名优秀的橄榄球运动员需要速度快、身体强壮且动作敏捷。而且这一切都与策略有关，所以你需要遵循一个好的比赛计划，并准备好做出快速决策。)”可知，优秀的橄榄球运动员需要具备力量、速度和策略能力。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章既介绍了橄榄球运动的特点、受欢迎原因、运动员所需素质，也提及了新西兰橄榄球运动的发展以及2023年法国橄榄球世界杯的相关信息，整体是对橄榄球这项运动的多方面介绍。故选A项。 D Today’s young adults (aged 18 — 34) seem to avoid phone calls altogether, with a quarter admitting they’ve never even answered one. A recent survey shows a clear change in communication styles. Texting plays a leading role with over 70% of young adults loving it. Voice notes are also very popular, being liked by nearly 40%. It seems linked to a general dislike of unexpected calls; more than half connect them with bad news. Interestingly, this aversion (讨厌) to phone calls isn’t shared by elders. Only 1% of those aged 35 — 54 use more texts than calls. The survey suggests a generational change in communication styles. Phone calls, once a useful tool for connection, are now seemingly dropping in favor of other methods like texting and voice notes. As reported, the young have played a main role in the online messages and text messages. An ordinary explanation for their unwillingness to answer phone calls is the pressure connected with them. More than half of them think there is negative news when receiving unexpected calls. The young generally like planned phone conversations as the primary means of communication. Whatever the case, it’s clear that today, we don’t even imagine communicating without the help of a phone. New technologies, such as social media, would ruin human relationships in the long term. As a matter of fact, this may already be happening. Indeed, we can’t ignore the value of the voice in human relations. Listening to the expression of another person brings us much closer to them. It’s also easier to emotionally connect with others in this way. Text messages are more often misunderstood. When communicating something serious, it’s always better to make a phone call. 12. What can we learn from the recent survey? A. Young people are more likely to communicate through text messages and voice notes. B. Young people probably communicate by receiving phone calls. C. Making phone calls has been replaced by texting messages. D. Making a phone call still plays a major role in communication among young people. 13. What causes the change in communication styles? A. The young feel pleasant to answer phone calls. B. All of the young think voice notes are popular. C. Few young people connect them with bad news. D. The young are unwilling to receive unexpected calls. 14. What’s the function of the numbers listed in paragraph 2? A. To explain the reasons. B. To make a comparison. C. To draw a conclusion. D. To provide evidence. 15. What can we learn about making a phone call from the last paragraph? A. It is easier to respond to. B. It makes us feel far away. C. It helps emotional connection. D. It is more often misunderstood. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了年轻一代在沟通方式上的变化，他们更倾向于使用短信和语音留言，而不是传统的电话通话，并探讨了这种变化的原因以及电话通话在沟通中的独特价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Texting plays a leading role, with over 70% of young adults loving it. Voice notes are also very popular, being liked by nearly 40%.(短信起着主导作用，超过70%的年轻人喜欢它。语音留言也非常受欢迎，近40%的人喜欢它。)”可知，从最近的调查中我们可以了解到年轻人更倾向于通过短信和语音留言进行交流。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“An ordinary explanation for their unwillingness to answer phone calls is the pressure connected with them. More than half of them think there is negative news when receiving unexpected calls.(他们不愿意接电话的一个常见解释是与电话相关的压力。超过一半的人认为接到意外的电话会有坏消息。)”可知，年轻人不愿意接听意外的电话导致了沟通方式的变化。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Texting plays a leading role, with over 70% of young adults loving it. Voice notes are also very popular, being liked by nearly 40%. It seems linked to a general dislike of unexpected calls; more than half connect them with bad news. Interestingly, this aversion (讨厌) to phone calls isn’t shared by elders. Only 1% of those aged 35 — 54 use more texts than calls.(短信起着主导作用，超过70%的年轻人喜欢它。语音留言也非常受欢迎，近40%的人喜欢它。这似乎与普遍不喜欢意外的电话有关；超过一半的人把电话与坏消息联系在一起。有趣的是，老年人并不讨厌打电话。在35 - 54岁的人群中，只有1%的人使用短信多于电话。)”可知，第二段中列出的数字的作用是将年轻人和老年人的沟通方式进行比较。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Indeed, we can’t ignore the value of the voice in human relations. Listening to the expression of another person brings us much closer to them. It’s also easier to emotionally connect with others in this way.(的确，我们不能忽视声音在人际关系中的价值。倾听别人的表达能让我们更接近他们。通过这种方式，也更容易与他人建立情感联系。)”可知，打电话有助于情感联系。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Having a good relationship with your roommate is important. ___16___ If you and your roommates make the effort, a peaceful and happy home is in your future. Before starting the journey to find a roommate, it’s important to make sure you will get along. Take a moment to think about your living preferences before making a decision. Getting along doesn’t mean you and your roommate have to share all of the same interests or be best friends.___17___ Once you’ve found a friendly roommate, the next key step for a warm living environment is to set clear rules through a roommate agreement. This document should include rights and responsibilities, covering rent payments, chores, and privacy. ___18___ Besides, agreeing on personal space rules also makes sure both of you feel comfortable at home. Achieving a fair way of dealing with money also helps avoid arguments. This includes dividing the cost of rent, bills, and other shared costs in a way that everyone agrees on. Dividing rent equally (平等地) among roommates is nice. ___19___ In this case, it might be better to decide each person’s rent flexibly (灵活地). ___20___. Creating an environment where open and regular communication is welcomed is key to solving problems before they get worse. One way of keeping communication clear is to have regular “check-in” meetings. They provide roommates with time to talk about home things, share problems in a helpful manner, and celebrate successes or share personal news. A. Your lifestyles and values just have to be similar. B. A friendly atmosphere depends on how you think. C. However, one’s room might have more advantages. D. You can include what you want to list in the agreement. E. Living with others may seem hard, but it doesn’t have to be. F. Communication is the basis of good roommate relationships. G. Clear discussions about money and chore sharing prevent fights. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了与室友建立良好关系的实用方法，包括选择适配室友、制定包含权利责任与分摊规则的协议、灵活处理费用分配及通过定期沟通预防矛盾等关键步骤。 【16题详解】 空前句“Having a good relationship with your roommate is important.(与室友建立良好关系很重要)”点明主题，强调重要性；空后句“If you and your roommates make the effort, a peaceful and happy home is in your future.(如果你和你的室友做出努力，一个和平快乐的家就在你的未来)”提到，如果双方努力，就能实现和平快乐的家，转向积极解决方案。选项E“Living with others may seem hard, but it doesn’t have to be.(和别人住在一起可能看起来很难，但事实并非如此)”通过承认潜在挑战（承上），同时暗示问题可解决（启下），为后文的努力与结果做铺垫，承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 空前句“Getting along doesn’t mean you and your roommate have to share all of the same interests or be best friends.(相处融洽并不意味着你和你的室友必须拥有相同的兴趣或成为最好的朋友)”提到，相处融洽不要求兴趣相同或成为挚友，否定了表面共性。选项A“Your lifestyles and values just have to be similar.(你们的生活方式和价值观必须相似)”提到只需生活方式和价值观相似，直接承接空前句的“不要求兴趣相同”，指出核心相似点（生活方式和价值观），承接上文，符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 空前句“This document should include rights and responsibilities, covering rent payments, chores, and privacy.(这份文件应该包括权利和责任，包括租金、家务和隐私)”详述室友协议内容；空后句“Besides, agreeing on personal space rules also makes sure both of you feel comfortable at home.(此外，在个人空间规则上达成一致也能确保你们在家里感觉舒适)”补充协议延伸。选项G“Clear discussions about money and chore sharing prevent fights.(关于金钱和家务分担的明确讨论可以防止争吵)”说明清晰讨论金钱和杂务分工可预防争执，总结空前句的“租金、杂务”要点，点明其作用（防冲突），同时与空后句的“舒适”形成因果链（讨论规则→避免冲突→确保舒适），起到承上启下作用。故选G。 【19题详解】 空前句“Dividing rent equally among roommates is nice.(在室友之间平均分摊房租是不错的)”肯定平等分租；空后句“In this case, it might be better to decide each person’s rent flexibly.(在这种情况下，最好是灵活地决定每个人的租金)”提出例外方案。选项C“However, one’s room might have more advantages.(然而，一个人的房间可能有更多的优势)”以转折词“However”引出不平等因素，解释为何均分不总是公平，自然触发空后句的“灵活分租”方案，承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 本空要填的是段落主题句。空后句“Creating an environment where open and regular communication is welcomed is key to solving problems before they get worse.(创造一个欢迎公开和定期交流的环境是在问题恶化之前解决问题的关键)”聚焦沟通的核心作用；下文“One way of keeping communication clear is to have regular “check-in” meetings.( 保持沟通清晰的一种方法是定期召开“定期”会议)”进一步以“定期会议”例证沟通实践。选项F“Communication is the basis of good roommate relationships.(交流是良好室友关系的基础)”作为段落主题句，直接概括后文核心（沟通环境的重要性），且“basis”与后文“key”形成同义替换。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was just another ordinary morning at Herring’s house.

Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I didn’t like. This was a people-pleasing technique. I thought it would speed up people’s opinion of me: the woman who could do it all. At the time, I thought I was killing it. I was making new friends and developing new interests. I joined the board of my children’s school and packed my days with around 20 other activities to do. And then several events changed everything: pandemic restrictions (疫情限制), serious medical problems and losing my job. All these helped me see how burnt out I was. All at once, I realized how good it felt not to be busy every second of every day. For the first time, I could carefully choose how I spent my days. Having to say no turned into the beauty of choosing to say no. Looking back, the pressure to say yes and smile was my choice. I felt obliged (有义务的) to say yes, from driving people to the airport to exchanging a carpool day, from attending charity events to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered good solutions. I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends, or helping someone out when they’re in a pinch. Instead, it’s a small change in mindset, taking a pause before agreeing. I take a breath, and check my energy and ability before jumping in. Most importantly, I tell my kids there’s nothing wrong with saying no. To give of yourself is important but to save yourself is important, too. 4. Why did the author say yes to almost everything in her 30s? A. To make more friends. B. To please and impress others. C. To meet the needs of others. D. To improve her problem-solving skills. 5. What events caused the author to rethink about her choices? A. Joining the board of her children’s school. B. Listening to podcasts about health improvement. C. Pandemic restrictions, health problems and job loss. D. The charity events she attended regularly. 6. How did the author feel after choosing to say no? A. Worried. B. Unhappy. C. Confident. D. Light-hearted. 7. What does the author want to convey through this article? A. Saying no is part of self-care. B. Saying yes is a sign of weakness. C. Being helpful brings more friends. D. Being busy leads to burnout. C Compared to a sport like soccer, this one may seem frightening. It’s all about tackling (抱摔) — getting knocked down and knocking down others. But it’s loved by millions across the world. It’s rugby (橄榄球)! On Sept 8, the men’s rugby World Cup will start in France. The first match will be between France and New Zealand, but France may be feeling a bit nervous. Although it is a country with a small population, New Zealand has the best rugby team in the world. Sione Multipola, 36, is a rugby player and coach from New Zealand. Rugby is the national sport in New Zealand. From the grassroots to the professional level, well-established pathways are in place for rugby, according to Multipola. And lots of kids start playing the sport from a young age, including himself. “I was inspired by my siblings and gathered with my friends just about every Saturday to play,” said Multipola. Multipola said it’s the sport’s exciting nature that attracts so many players and fans. “Unlike soccer, where physical contact is limited, rugby’s physicality adds an extra layer of excitement and intensity (强度).” This makes everything very unpredictable. And comebacks and last-minute victories are common,“keeping spectators on the edge of their seats”. The tackling aspect of rugby can seem dangerous, but Multipola makes sure that there are strict rules and guidelines in place for safety. “As a coach, I see new players feel scared about getting hurt,” said Multipola,“but we teach them the rules and safe ways to tackle. Also when you expect to be tackled, it becomes less scary.” A good rugby player needs to be fast, strong and agile, said Multipola. And it’s all about strategy, so you need to follow a good game plan and be prepared to make quick decisions. The 20 teams playing at this year’s Rugby World Cup — the tenth one to be held since 1987-have their game plans ready. Can New Zealand get the title for the fourth time? We’ll have to wait and see 8. Which country has the best rugby team in the world, according to the author? A. France. B. New Zealand. C. Canada. D. Australia. 9. What does Multipola think makes rugby so popular? A. Limited physical contact. B. The teamwork involved in the game. C. Its easy-to-follow rules and guidelines. D. Its exciting and unpredictable nature. 10. What qualities does a good rugby player need, according to Multipola? A. Focus and a positive attitude. B. Strength, speed and strategy. C Courage and good judgement. D.

D Today’s young adults (aged 18 — 34) seem to avoid phone calls altogether with a quarter admitting they’ve never even answered one. A recent survey shows a clear change in communication styles. Texting plays a leading role, with over 70% of young adults loving it. Voice notes are also very popular, being liked by nearly 40%. It seems linked to a general dislike of unexpected calls; more than half connect them with bad news. Interestingly, this aversion (讨厌) to phone calls isn’t shared by elders. Only 1% of those aged 35 — 54 use more texts than calls. The survey suggests a generational change in communication styles. Phone calls, once a useful tool for connection, are now seemingly dropping in favor of other methods like texting and voice notes. As reported, the young have played a main role in the online messages and text messages. An ordinary explanation for their unwillingness to answer phone calls is the pressure connected with them. More than half of them think there is negative news when receiving unexpected calls. The young generally like planned phone conversations as the primary means of communication. Whatever the case, it’s clear that today, we don’t even imagine communicating without the help of a phone. New technologies, such as social media, would ruin human relationships in the long term. As a matter of fact, this may already be happening. Indeed, we can’t ignore the value of the voice in human relations. Listening to the expression of another person brings us much closer to them. It’s also easier to emotionally connect with others in this way. Text messages are more often misunderstood. When communicating something serious, it’s always better to make a phone call. 12 What can we learn from the recent survey? A. Young people are more likely to communicate through text messages and voice notes. B. Young people probably communicate by receiving phone calls. C. Making phone calls has been replaced by texting messages. D. Making a phone call still plays a major role in communication among young people. 13. What causes the change in communication styles? A. The young feel pleasant to answer phone calls. B. All of the young think voice notes are popular. C. Few young people connect them with bad news. D. The young are unwilling to receive unexpected calls. 14. What’s the function of the numbers listed in paragraph 2? A. To explain the reasons. B. To make a comparison. C. To draw a conclusion. D. To provide evidence. 15. What can we learn about making a phone call from the last paragraph? A. It is easier to respond to. B. It makes us feel far away. C. It helps emotional connection. D. It is more often misunderstood. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Having a good relationship with your roommate is important. ___16___ If you and your roommates make the effort, a peaceful and happy home is in your future.
