专八人文知识大考察(1)：英国最长的河是？

专八，听上去多高端的名字啊！

没有考过专八，都不好意思说自己是英语专业滴。

专八和专四相比，增加了英语国家人文知识考察的部分。这是最容易得分，也是最容易失分的地方。

容易得分，因为只要好好复习，就能轻松答题。而且，这一部分的知识会让你成为英美国家“百事通”，出去唠个嗑，侃个大山，都很有料~~

容易失分，因为要背的内容实在太多：英美国家概况，英国文学，美国文学，语言学，词汇学等。要找工作，要忙考研，要准备国考的你，真心没有时间啊。 

【专八人文知识大考察】活动每期精选10道人文知识题目，涉及人文考试的各个方面。每天一期，一共五期，助你备考专八！

专八，你准备好了吗？
