参考答案

1.SharedactivitySharedactivity解析：根据题干关键词Englishfriendship定位到原文Englishfriendship下第二、四句：Theirbasisissharedactivity...Inthemidstoftheactivity...peoplefallintostep...withthesameeasyanticipationofwhateachwilldodaybydayorinsomecriticalsituation．第二句指出英国人以参与共同的活动为交友的基础；第四句指出在参与的过程之中，人们很容易就能知道彼此的日常生活。由此可以得出该题答案为sharedactivity。

2.twostepstwosteps解析：答案依据为本文PaintLikeaProWithTheseTechniques标题下第二、三段。

3.B解析：细节辨认题。题干问一旦你注册并提供了自己的详细资料，凯利服务公司会在何时联系你?原文when后指出，在注册及提供详细信息的情况下，只要出现合适的工作机会，凯利服务公司就会联系个人，故B为正确答案。

4.on-campusnon-degreeon-campusnon-degree解析：答案见文章第三个小标题下第二段第二句话。

5.RichardⅠHenryⅧandQueenVictoriaRichardⅠ,HenryⅧandQueenVictoria解析：细节辨认题。题干所问到的是三位英国历史上皇室的音乐爱好者。根据文章找出名字即可。需要注意的题干中把名字限定在了三位，所以，QueenVictoria的丈夫的名字不能做为答案。再有，既然很清楚的知道答案是人名，就可以先快速地找出本段中大写的名字，然后再快速浏览加以排除即可。

6.governmentnegligencegovernmentnegligence解析：该句中提到...aresourcesuchastheNewfoundlandfisherycollapses，itismoreatragedyofgovernmentnegligencethanatragedyofthegeneralpublic.，即政府更应该负更多的责任，题干只是将两个比较的对象调换了位置，故答案为governmentnegligence。

7.B解析：参见文中第3段第3句：“Butin1977，researchersdivinginAlvindiscoveredtubewormsando
