3、 In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放) your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.
One popular option is hot-stone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging th e body’s toxins.
Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity (湿气) that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.
Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.
The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.

4、 Auld Lang Syne is a song that everyone drunkenly sings, which marks the start to a brand new year. No one ever seems to know the words (something about forgetting old acquaintances?) or what they mean (why would we want to forget people?), but, in America,it's as much a part of New Years' tradition as wine. But why?
The lyrics(歌词) to the song come from a poem written by the great Scottish poet Robert Bums in 1788. Its title is believed to be an old Scottish way of saying “a long time ago. ’’ Phrases like “In the days of auld lang syne” also appear in other Scottish fairy tales and poems, us ually as a way of saying “Once Upon a Time. ”
While it still causes confusion, it is believed that the opening lines of the song are meant to be rhetorical(夸张的);“Should auld acquaintance be forgotten,and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgotten, and auld lang syne?” therefore means we should have a drink in honor of whatever is passing, and remember old friends.
When the Scots immigrated to America in the 19th century, they brought the song with them. But its great popularity can be largely due to the Canadian bandleader Guy Lombardo.
In 1965, he explained how he himself came to associate the song with the end of the year to Life magazine:
“Auld Lang Syne is our theme song—and was long before anyone ever heard us on the ra dio. In our particular part of western Ontario, where there’s a large Scottish population, 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 the singer in action,check out his final performance on the eve of 1977, after performing for 48 years in a row.
1.How might people feel when first hearing the song Auld Lang Syne?
A.Confused.
B.Moved.
C.Energetic.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/327927010.html,fortable.
2.Why do people sing Auld Lang Syne when New Year is coming?
A.To hope for good luck.
B.To celebrate the New Year.
C.In honor of Robert Bums.
D.In memory of the past.
3.Why is Guy Lombardo mentioned in the text?
A.He created the song Auld Lang Syne.
B.He made the song Auld Lang Syne more popular.
C.He brought the song Auld Lang Syne to America.
D.He was the first to sing the song Auld Lang Syne.
4.What might be the best title for the text?
A.What does Auld Lang Syne Mean?
B.Who Makes Auld Lang Syne Popular?
C.How does Auld Lang Syne Come into Being?
D.Why do People Sing Auld Lang Syne on New Year Eve?

高考英语最后冲刺复习的要点 英语掌握解题方法避免误区 在英语最后阶段复习中，要从以下几个方面加强训练： 1.听力。高考听力测试内容广泛，所以要坚持多样化的听说训练，熟悉特定场景的交际用语，养成良好的做题习惯。考试时要沉着冷静，精力集中；学会听前预读，有的放矢；随听随记，理解重要信息；抓住要点，合理推断。 2.单项填空题。单项填空题要以简单句、并列句、复合句以及动词为核心，要特别关注动词时态、语态、非谓语动词、动词短语、形容词比较级和最高级、虚拟语气、特殊句式、常用句型等重点考查项目。解题时要仔细分析句子结构，注意句子前后的一致性；遇到复杂句式，要从句子结构入手，找出所缺句子的成分，准确判断考点。 3.完形填空。在做完形填空题时，要快速通读全文，把握文章的基本内容和结构，明确文章的主题思想。分析问题要注意着眼于语篇，充分考虑上下文意，仔细推敲出语法正确、逻辑严谨、意义畅通的选项。 4.阅读理解。高考阅读理解题目中涉及低能力要求的事实和细节题逐步减少，而涉及较高能力的语篇分析、文章概括、上下文推理的题目逐步增加。因此，对语言的深层次含义的理解，无论是对词、句的理解，还是对语篇的理解都需要借助推理，从而得出语篇中不曾明确表述但又蕴含其中的意义。 5.短文改错。做短文改错题时先将全文通读一遍，弄清文章大意，然后根据语言结构进行改错。判断对错不但要从本行、本句考虑，还要顾及全文。一般来说，正确行不会多于一行，缺词行不会多于两行。要注意错误类型的分布。一般检查的名词、谓语动词、非谓语动词、代词、冠词、句子结构、连词等各占一行。有时错误设计在一行的开头或结尾，也经常导致考生的失误。 6.书面表达。做书面表达题目首先要把握审题关。审题应从“内容”和“形式”两方面入手，所谓内容就是要根据题目中提供的信息找出必须表达清楚的内容要点；所谓“形式”就是根据题目的要求，确定书面表达的适当形式，是日记、书信、通知，还是故事、寓言、描写或看图作文。确定形式和内容后，就可着手写作。

高考题型提能练(九)Unit 9 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2018·河南省普通高中毕业班适应性测试)Is geography important? Here's a question for you to answer. What have the following countries got in common: Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Iceland and Madagascar? Quite easy if you can picture them on the globe —they are all islands. All of these nations are surrounded by sea. What have these five nations got in common? Hungary, Botswana, Kazakhstan, Paraguay and Liechtenstein. They are all landlocked. In other words, in contrast to the first five countries whose coastline forms their border, the second five have no coastline at all. If you are a Hungarian or a Paraguayan, you have to pass through somebody else's country if you want to go to the beach. Liechtenstein is even more of a geographical phenomenon; it is “doubly landlocked” because the countries that surround it — Austria and Switzerland are also landlocked. There is only one other country in the world in a similar position, Uzbekistan, which is surrounded by five other landlocked countries. Go and have a look at the map if you want to know which. So how do countries become landlocked? If you are Swiss or
