Though many people think of summer as a time to slow down and enjoy a vacation, it can also be the perfect time to make money or get experience. Here are some good summer jobs for you.
Survey-taking
Survey-taking is a way to make money during your summer holiday, especially if you live in an area that doesn’t have many chances. With a computer or smartphone, you can sit on your sofa and search for survey sites such as Surveys On The Go, InboxDollars or Swagbucks. Without much effort, you can start making money for your opinions. However, the ease of use comes with a low earning potential.
Food Delivery
If you enjoy driving, you can use your car to deliver food. You can sign up to deliver food from restaurants with services such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub. Another choice is delivering daily used goods with services such as Postmates, Shipt and Instacart. The earning potential for delivery can be higher than for other jobs because customers often give tips. The disadvantage is that these jobs require you to put in more time.
Photo Applications
If you go to the mall, you can use an app such as Field Agent or Gigwalk to make money by taking pictures of products in stores. See any help-wanted signs in the store windows Take a picture and get paid for each one you find.
House Sitting and Pet Care
Summer is a time when people take vacations and may need someone to look after their homes or pets. Services such as HouseSitter and MindMyHouse connect homeowners with proper house sitters. For animal lovers who would rather care for someone’s pet while they are away, you can turn to services like Rover.
1. What do we know about making money through Survey-Taking
A. It’s interesting. B. It requires little effort.
C. It takes much time. D. It requires special knowledge.
2. Why is the earning potential for Food Delivery higher than for other jobs
A. You can get some extra reward.
B. You work longer hours.
C. You need to drive your own car.
D. You deliver food for many people.
3. Which app should you use if you enjoy looking after animals
A. Swagbucks. B. Uber Eats. C. HouseSitter. D. Rover.

“Auld Lang Syne” is a song that everyone happily sings, which marks the start of a new year. No one ever seems to know the words or what they mean, but in America, it's as much a part of New Year's tradition as wine. But why
The lyrics to the song come from a pocm written by the great Scottish poct Robert Burns in 1788. The title,“Auld Lang Syne”, is believed to be an old Scottish way of saying “a long time ago”. The opening lines of the song “Should auld acquaintance be forgotten and never brought to mind Should auld acquaintance be forgotten, and auld lang syne ”mean we should have a drink in honor of whatever is passing, and remember old friends.
When the Scots moved to America in the 19th century, they brought the song with them. But it was the Canadian bandleader Guy Lombardo who made it more popular. In 1965, he explained to a reporter of Life Magazine how he himself came to link the song with New Year's Eve:“Auld Lang Syne is our theme song and was long before anyone ever heard us on the radio. In part of western Ontario, where there are a large number of Scots, it was traditional for bands to end every dance with Auld Lang Syne. We didn't think it was known here.”
If you want to see Guy Lombardo in action, check out his final show on the eve of 1977.
4. The title Auld Lang Syne probably means .
A. new year B. music band C. old friends D.a long time ago
5.Why do people in America sing Auld Lang Syne when New Year is coming
A. In memory of the past. B. For having good luck.
C. In honor of Robert Burns. D. For family get-together.
6. When did the Scots bring Auld Lang Syne to America
A. In 1788. B. In the 19th century. C.In 1965. D. In 1977.

Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP, 标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.
Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country – from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands – are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.
In a 2015 study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class.
However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in an RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength.
Kong Seong-jae, 25, is an internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.
So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.
18. What can we infer from paragraph 1
A. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent.
B. Only “the queen’s English” is accepted in the UK.
C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.
D. Any Received Pronunciation around the world is also called “the Queen’s English”.
19. What do people think of the Brummie accent
A. Favored by foreign visitors to the UK. B. Closest to the RP accent.
C. Smart and easy to understand. D. Spoken by people of lower class.
20. What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Speaking in a RP accent. B. Speaking in regional accents.
C. Speaking the Brummie accent. D. Speaking like Harry Potter.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国小吃馓子的起源。
Which/that 37.a 38.preparation 39.written 40.specially 41.salty
42.are arranged 43.until 44.with 45.to eat
36.考查定语从句。句意:它有着悠久的历史,可以追溯到春秋时期(公元前770-476年),当时它被称为寒具,一种寒食节的食物。句中先行词为history,在定语从句中担当主语,所以用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。
37.考查冠词。句意:它有着悠久的历史,可以追溯到春秋时期(公元前770-476年),当时它被称为寒具,一种寒食节的食物。food为可数名词单数,泛指,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
38.考查名词。句意:由于节日期间要避免用火做饭,所以人们会提前准备馓子。根据空前的the可知,空处为名词;再根据谓语动词was可知,为名词的单数形式。故填preparation。
39.考查非谓语动词。句意:北魏时期(公元386-534年)的贾思勰所著的《民间艺记》中,详细描述了寒具的制作过程。被修饰词“Arts for the people”与write之间存在被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语。故填written。
40.考查副词。句意:宋代(公元960-1279年)著名诗人苏轼甚至专门为寒具写了一首诗。修饰动词wrote,用副词形式。故填specially。
41.考查形容词。句意:馓子是一种酥脆咸香的油炸小吃,制作方法复杂。根据and前的crispy可知,空处为形容词,修饰名词snack。故填salty。
42.考查时态和语态。句意:把条状的面团放在碗里,油均匀地铺在面团表面。根据上下文可知,本句时态为一般现在时;主语为the strips,复数,和动词arrange之间存在被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填are arranged。
43.考查连词。句意:当面团达到理想的弹性时,揉面师就会用手把面团包起来,拉起面团,再折回去,再拉,直到面团均匀、薄的形状。然后在油里炸。本句为时间状语从句,根据句意可知,是将面团拉了又拉,直到面团均匀,所以用连词until。故填until。
44.考查介词。句意:随着时间的推移,寒食节逐渐与清明相结合,所以清明吃馓子是一种传统。短语be combined with和……相结合。故填with。
45.考查非谓语动词。句意:随着时间的推移,寒食节逐渐与清明相结合,所以清明吃馓子是一种传统。句中用it做形式宾语,构成句型:it is +名词+ to do sth.,所以用不定式作主语。故填to eat。
书面表达【点睛】这篇书面表达的关键在于句子内容的准确表述,同时注意谋篇布局的顺序,运用合适的连接词连接全文,同时选择高级的词汇和语法项目让文章更有文采。I am writing to tell you something about the activity of Traditional Chinese Clothing Culture, which was held in our school on July 18.非限制性定语从句的运用。What I liked best was our traditional Chinese clothing show.主语从句的运用。
