【解析】

【1】E考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)后文，Follow these five tips to avoid the common mistakes that make good roommate relationships worse，可知這里是介紹如何與自己的室友相處好的一些建議，而選項E意為“如果你想要與你的室友有一個良好的關系，這一切都要從你開始”，符合語境，故選E。

【2】B考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)小標題，Talk things out，可知當發(fā)生什么事情的時候相互之間溝通是很重要的，而選項B意為“溝通是很重要的”，符合語境，故選B。

【3】A考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)文中，And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend，there is no need to worry about it，可知這段的關鍵詞是“best friend”，而選項中只有選項A提及了這一關鍵詞，意為“不要期望變成最好的朋友”，符合語境，故選A。

【4】C考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)文中，Clean up after yourself．Or at least，keep your mess on your side，可知只需要把你自己整理干凈，不要影響到大家，而選項C意為“你不需要保持房間有組織性很干凈”，符合語境，故選C。

【5】G考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)后文，Even if you both agree to share everything you should still ask，可知當你們要分享一樣東西的時候，要讓室友知道你對此的尊重，詢問是否可以，而選項G意為“要對你的室友和她的財物表示尊重”，符合語境，故選G。
