考点34 阅读理解应用文
高考频度:★★★★★
应用文是最贴近日常生活的文体,它包括通知、广告、便条、申请书、个人简介、商品说明与介绍、新闻报道等,形式多样,题材各异,如图示、表格等。英语《考试说明》对"读"的能力要求之一是:要求考生读懂一般性话题的简短文字材料,例如公告、说明、广告以及书、报、杂志中的简短文章并能识别不同文体的特征。研读近年全国各地的高考试题可以看出,应用文是高考阅读理解命题的重要体裁之一。现简要介绍应用文的特点、类型和解题技巧。
一、应用文阅读试题的文体特点
应用文不同于其他文体的文章,其目的是为了向读者传输信息,措辞简洁明了,直截了当.一般说来,应用文英语阅读试题具有以下特点:
1. 选材特点
信息量大,文句精炼,形式灵活,用最少的篇幅表达最大量的信息。
2. 内容特点
生活化,实用化,多样化,如产品宣传、服务介绍、通知、海报、启示、招生招聘等。
3. 形式特点
标题醒目,重点突出,条理清晰,常用粗体字或各类项目符号使文章的结构更鲜明。
4. 语言特点
人名、地名、专有名词多;生词多;缩略词、祈使句、省略句多;结构不完整。
5. 命题特点
主要考查考生提取信息和处理信息的能力,既注重特定细节的筛选、类比、综合,又注重推理判断题的考查,题目设置相对较容易。
二、应用文的主要类型
应用文的类型主要有:同主题广告,混合型广告,规则、通知、咨询问答、注意事项等,指南,书评、问卷调查、告示、参观须知、申请书、个人简介等。
三、应用文解题技巧点拨
高考应用文阅读理解设题以细节理解题为主,因此,阅读这类文章时,应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下,主要注意细节信息。细节题的题干都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等),因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处,再把原文和选项相比较。
做题时,根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果。
同时,在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字,因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括。具体答题策略如下:
1. 先题后文
先读试题,了解试题考点;明确目的,快速捕捉,获取信息。
2. 题干定向
根据题干关键词到文中定位答案范围,按照题目顺序依次而下:问题与材料相同→对号入座;问题与原文相同→同义替换、归纳事实等。
3. 生词模糊
遇到生词;如与答题无关,直接跳过;涉及答题,则根据语境、构词法等猜词。
4. 信息补全
对于影响理解的省略句,可根据语境,将其补全。
总之,应用文类型的阅读文章一般说来比较易理解,文章类型以广告形式居多,设问根据文章的段落秩序,多以细节事实理解为主,答案的寻找可以根据问题中的关键字顺藤摸瓜,辅以适当的推理判断。了解了应用文的措辞和内容特点,我们在实践中总结出解答应用文试题的关键是:抓信息。
提示:应用文阅读题做完后,不可轻易改答案,要相信第一感觉。因为第一次解题时思路最清晰,假如没十分把握,以不改为好,防止弄巧成拙。
全国高考英语考试说明明确指出,要求考生读懂一般性话题的简短文字材料,例如公告、说明、广告以及书、报、杂志中的简短文章,这说明了应用文文体在高考英语中的重要性。这个特点在历年高考试题中有明显的印证,不管是全国高考卷,还是省区高考卷中基本每年都涉及应用文文体的考查,这充分体现了"为用而学,学以致用"的新课程理念。因此,考生很有必要认真研读阅读理解中应用文的特征和命题特点,并掌握一定的解题方法。本文拟结合近年高考英语全国卷阅读理解中所涉及的应用文文体,帮助考生提高阅读理解的解题能力。
应用文是在日常工作和生活中使用的文体,通常以实用性为目的、以真实性为基础、以时效性为根本、以规范性为准则。该文体一般可分为两大类:一类是说明性应用文,包括广告、启事、海报、守则、公告、指南、个人简历、备忘录、摘要等;另一类是叙述性应用文,如书信、日记、便条、报告、请帖等。目的都是向读者传输信息。高考试题主要涉及宣传广告、公告类应用文,偶尔也会有书信类文章出现。从近三年高考全国卷阅读理解中应用文的话题分布情况可知,前一类是应用文命题的首选题材,其中包括广告、海报和指南等。
在高考英语阅读理解中应用文体的考查主要有如下几个特点:
1. 就文体特点而言,应用文主要是为了向读者传递信息,措辞简洁明了,一般来说,和所述问题无关的文字不会出现。例如很多文章没有标题,甚至通篇没有一个完整的句子,而是用词、数字、缩写、短语等来替代。
2. 就选材特点来说,信息量大,文句精练,形式灵活,用最小的篇幅表述最大量的信息。其中书信,招聘和商品销售等广告,交通运输时刻表,日记等的比例较大。其内容特点表现为:生活化,实用化,多样化。
3. 就形式特点而言,标题醒目,重点突出,条理清晰,常用粗体字或各类项目符号使文章结构更鲜明。
4. 就语言特点来说,文章充斥大量冗长而生僻的专有名词,如人名、地名、机构名、组织名、书籍名、作品名等等,而且没有汉语注释。缩略词、祈使句、省略句多。
5. 在行文方式方面,应用文的每种文体都有固定的格式。叙述性应用文采用一般记叙文的写作方法,无特别之处;说明性应用文的行文呈排列式,即以小标题为单位逐一下行排列。
6. 就命题特点来说,高考英语应用文的设问一般是按照文章段落的顺序依次设置,主要考查考生提取信息和处理信息的能力,既考查对特定细节的选取、排除、类比、综合,又注重推理判断题的考查,题目设置相对容易。具体讲来主要有四大类:(1)细节理解题,即要求考生对阅读材料中的某一具体事实和细节进行理解。这一题型常见的命题方式有事实认定题、图形辨认题、数字运算题等。(2)推理判断题。这类题主要考查考生根据文章的字面意思,通过分析语篇的逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓意等。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题。(3)主旨大意题。该类题主要考查考生对所读材料中心思想的概括.其考查形式有很多,如概括标题、主题、中心思想等。(4)词义猜测题,即要求考生根据一定的上下文猜测生词的词义。
广告类阅读题的五大特点
1. 材料特点:大家知道,刊登广告是要钱的,为了节省费用,人们在拟写广告时往往都希望用最少的篇幅表现最大量的信息,这就决定了广告类材料通常具有以下特点:信息量大,用词简练,形式灵活。
2. 内容特点:综观近几年的高考英语阅读理解题,其中广告类阅读题内容主要涉及的是与人们生活息息相关的信息,如产品宣传、服务介绍、招生招聘等。
3. 形式特点:做广告的主要目的就是要让受众了解并记住广告的内容,并为广告上所刊登的内容(产品或服务等)买单。为了达到这一目的,人们在设计广告时往往会做到:标题醒目,重点突出,条理清楚。
4. 用词特点:广告类阅读材料的用词有"三多"特点:一是人名、地名、专有名词多;二是生词多;三是缩略词、省略句多。
5. 命题特点:广告类阅读是近几年高考英语阅读理解最常考的题材,在阅读理解的选材中占有很大的比重。命题者的目的是要考查考生提取信息和处理信息的能力,所以命题的题型多是以获取信息为主的细节理解题。
命题趋势
1. 考点趋势:今后对语篇领悟能力的检测仍是高考的重点和基本点,同时还需关注对主旨大意题和文章结构题的考查。
2. 理解层次趋势:表层意义理解题减少,深层含义理解题增多。考查难度有所增加,由简单寻找信息向多层次细节推理的趋势比较明显。
3. 信息量和词汇量:阅读理解材料信息浓缩,词汇总量减少,但对词汇量的考查在加大,非考纲词汇有所增加(主要为词根加上前、后缀或有词义转化的词)。旨在引导学生掌握词汇的合成、派生和转化,让考生能通过上下文或构词法来理解词汇的含义。《考试说明》中"根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义"这一新要求预示对能力要求有所提高。
4. 句子的难度:长句增多,句子难度加大。复合句、省略句、倒装句和插入语等语言现象普遍。
5. 体裁和题材:继续体现体裁和题材多样化,并彰显英语国家语言与文化特点,强化文化意识的渗透。题材涉猎广泛,体现"语言是文化的载体"这一理念。

Passage4(2020年天津卷7月,A)
How to Use a Modern Public Library
Has it been a while since your last visit to a public library? If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. It’s been years since they were dusty little rooms with books. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business.
Check out a book. While libraries still loan out(出借)books, you’ll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you’re looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries. Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the book you’ve requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail, so you can pick it up.
Check out other items. The library is now a multimedia zone, loaded with information in many formats(载体形式). You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. If a popular magazine you want isn’t offered and the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown.
Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps you’d like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a language group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book.
Start a business using the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce(商会)and government agencies, and they will offer printing, faxing and database services you need.
36. Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by______.
A. sharing their books on the Internet
B. giving access to online reading at a library branch
C. sending a needed book to a library branch nearby
D. making the checkout procedures diverse
37. According to Paragraph 3, what items may be checked out from a public library?
A. A magazine and an e-book.
B. A game and an oil painting.
C. A music CD and a kid’s toy.
D. A DVD and a video player
38. As is described in Paragraph 4, taking a small kid to a half-hour Story Time allows ______.
A. the kid to learn a new language
B. the parent to enjoy quiet reading
C. the kid to overcome reading difficulties
D. the parent to meet their program sponsor
39. Your local library can help you start a business by ______.
A. providing relevant information and supporting services
B. offering professional advice on business management
C. supplying useful information of your potential buyers
D. arranging meetings with government officials
40. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To point out the importance of public libraries.
B. To encourage people to work in public libraries.
C. To introduce the improved services of public libraries.
D. To call for the modernization of public library systems.
【答案】36. C37. C38. 39. A40. C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何使用改造升级后现代公共图书馆。
36. 细节理解题。根据文章Check out a book中“Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the book you've requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail, so you can pick it up.( 通过这样的网络,图书馆通过运载车辆的使用彼此分享图书。一旦你要的书送到最近的书店,他们会通过电子邮件通知你,你就可以去取了。)”可知,合作网络连接的公共图书馆通过向附近的图书馆分支机构发送所需的书籍,使读者受益。故选C项。
37. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. ( 你可以借DVD电影、CD音乐和流行杂志。一些图书馆甚至借出玩具和游戏。)”可知,从公共图书馆可以外借DVD电影、CD音乐、流行杂志、玩具和游戏等物品。故选C项。
38. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book. (你可能会发现带着你的孩子去半个小时的“故事时间”是一种放松,那时你安静地坐在角落里看一本好书,)”可知,带孩子去半小时的“故事时间”,可以让父母享受安静的阅读。故选B项。
39. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce(商会)and government agencies, and they will offer printing and database services you need. (许多图书馆会通过商会和政府机构分享本地提供的商业管理信息,并提供你需要的打印和数据库服务。)”可知,你当地的图书馆可以通过提供相关信息和支持服务来帮助你创业。故选A项。
40. 推理判断题。根据文章标题How to Use a Modern Public Library(如何使用一个现代公共图书馆)和第一段中的“you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business.(你可能会惊讶地发现图书馆已经变得更好了。他们已经把自己变成了一个地方,在那里你可以发展你对知识的热爱,遇见有趣的人,或者发现如何创业)”。再结合几个小标题:Check out a book(借一本书); Check out other items(借其他物品);Join targeted reading groups(加入有针对性的阅读小组);Start a business using the help of your local library(在当地图书馆的帮助下创业)可知,本文主要介绍了在经过改善后的图书馆里,人们可以做些什么,即:经过改善后的图书馆可以给人们提供什么服务。故选C。
