专题08应用文专练二
1.（2023秋·北京房山·高三统考期末）Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the bookshelves and settle down with a new book, or use roving libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.
Bishan Library (Singapore)
Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises, is meant to invoke a modern glass treehouse. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet airy corners for reading throughout the building. At the same time, a more open-plan children’s room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from filtering upward and disturbing those concentrating in the lofty perches above.
Stuttgart City Library (Stuttgart, Germany)
Opened in 2011, this nine-story public library is characterized by its attractive white color scheme (lit by blue light at night), its bold cubic shape. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and people can borrow artwork as well as books.
The Camel Library Service (North Eastern Province, Kenya)
To combat low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region’s nomadic people. With more funding, they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the books they carry.
Macquarie University Library (Sydney, Australia)
A wonderful combination of cutting-edge and sustainable ideas, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to look like the shape of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.

C．The Camel Library Service. D．Macquarie University Library.

2．推理判断题。根据Macquarie University Library (Sydney, Australia)中的“A wonderful combination of cutting-edge and sustainable ideas, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to look like the shape of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.(这座建筑是尖端技术和可持续理念的完美结合，由回收材料建造，有绿色屋顶，设计模仿桉树的外观。它也是最先进的，使用机器人起重机将所需的书籍送到前台。)”可知，Macquarie University Library将尖端技术与可持续理念完美结合，由机器人起重机将所需书籍送到前台。由此可知，该图书馆非常智能，对环境也很友好。故选A项。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the bookshelves and settle down with a new book, or use roving libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.(有些图书馆以独特的建筑外观吸引游客在书架间探索、专心阅读一本新书，或通过流动图书馆服务，将书籍带给不便于到馆的读者。无论方式如何，这些别具一格的图书馆都让阅读的魔力经久不衰。)”可知，文章介绍的这些图书馆归根结底都有一个目的，就是吸引读者阅读、鼓励读者阅读。故选C项。
2.（2022秋·北京大兴·高三统考期末）It’s exciting when your bookworm teen announces his or her plans to be a writer. Rather than bombard them with fancy pens and motivational reading, direct them to a comfort zone: the Internet. These sites are great resources and landing spots for future storytellers.
Figment
Specially tailored for the teen reader/writer, Figment is a community dedicated to reading and writing stories online. Addictively fun, users can rate stories by whether they made them laugh, blush, cry, or just say “wow.” The site frequently runs contests and features work from well-known authors and editors who sometimes drop in for Figment chats with the site’s community.
Wattpad
It is the largest online reading platform, and allows authors to share their work with the world. Well-known writers such as Margaret Atwood and Cory Doctorow even post their work here. Teens can find and follow their favorite authors and release their own works as serial novels.
Teen Ink
Supported by the nonprofit Young Authors Foundation, Teen Ink is the twenty-five-year veteran in the fostering-teen-writers game. The magazine, book series, and website are devoted entirely to writing, art, and photos by teens. It’s also a go-to for teens interested in writing and publishing nonfiction essays and articles as well as poetry.
One Teen Story
Direct kids here to introduce them to the nonprofit’s monthly magazine. Each issue features one short story about the teen experience, usually from a known young adult author. Teens drawn to the short story form can also submit their work for consideration in an annual issue that features a story written by a teen for teens.
NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo is an awesome thirty-day adventure for any writer, but teens might be especially inclined to join. In November, would-be novelists over the world attempt to write a 50,000-word(or more) book in thirty days.

【答案】4．C    5．A    6．D

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了四个能为那些未来青年作家们提供的拥有绝佳资源的网站。
4．推理判断题。根据首段中的“It’s exciting when your bookworm teen announces his or her plans to be a writer.(当你的书虫青少年宣布他或她成为一名作家的计划时，这是令人兴奋的。)”可知，拥有一个想成为作家的孩子是一件令人激动的事情，由此可以判断，该文章是写给家长的。故选C项。
5．细节理解题。根据Figment部分的“The site frequently runs contests and features work from well-known authors and editors who sometimes drop in for Figment chats with the site’s community.(该网站经常举办比赛，并展示著名作者和编辑的作品，他们有时会与网站社区进行人物聊天。)”和Wattpad部分的“Well-known writers such as Margaret Atwood and Cory Doctorow even post their work here. Teens can find and follow their favorite authors and release their own works as serial novels.(玛格丽特·阿特伍德和科里·多克托罗等著名作家甚至在这里发表了他们的作品。青少年可以找到并追随他们最喜欢的作家，并发布他们自己的作品作为系列小说。)”可知，这两个网站提供了与知名作家互动的机会。故选A项。
6．细节理解题。根据One Teen Story部分的“Direct kids here to introduce them to the nonprofit's monthly magazine.(直接把孩子们介绍给非营利组织的月刊。)”可知，One Teen Story是月刊，所以A错误；根据Figment部分中的“Specially tailored for the teen reader/writer, Figment is a community dedicated to reading and writing stories online.(Figment是专门为青少年读者/作家量身定制的，是一个致力于在线阅读和写作故事的社区。)”可知，该网站是青少年作家为特色，而不是年轻的成年作家，所以B项错误；C项原文没有提到提供全球30天的adventure，所以C项错误；根据Teen Ink部分中的“It’s also a go-to for teens interested in writing and publishing nonfiction essays and articles as well as poetry.(它也是对写作和出版非小说类文章、文章以及诗歌感兴趣的青少年的首选。)”可知，Teen Ink是喜欢写诗歌的青少年的首选网站。故选D项。

5.（2022·四川成都·石室中学校考一模）London, with countless famous sites and all manner of food, drink, shopping, history, and culture, is definitely a wonderful city to visit.
Time Zone
Greenwich Mean Time during the winter, British Summer Time during the rest of the year(starting at Daylight Saving Time).
Best Time to Go
The best time to visit London overall is in spring, when the temperatures have warmed up, the sun has started to shine and London’s gardens and parks are looking their best. However, the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what you’re looking for. If you’re all about taking a look inside Queen Liz’s palace, you’d better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.
Things to Know
Londoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one another than Americans do--while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might consider it impolite or strange. Don’t mistake this for unfriendliness； it’s just a cultural difference. Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.
How to Get Around
Getting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip, is paid in zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. It’s worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.
13．When is the best time to visit London for people who enjoy a lively atmosphere?
A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter.
14．Where is this text most probably taken from?
A．A survey. B．A guidebook.
C．A research paper. D．A travel journal.
15．Which of the following is the most suitable topic for starting a conversation with Londoners?
A．Daily entertainments. B．Future career plans.
C．Personal relationships. D．Annual incomes.

【答案】13．D    14．B    15．A

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要给出了游览伦敦的一些建议。
13．细节理解题。根据Best Time to Go中的“If you’re all about taking a look inside Queen Liz’s palace, you’d better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.(如果你想参观莉兹女王的宫殿，你最好在夏天去，而对于那些想在圣诞市场和传统欢乐中饱览一番的人来说，冬天是美丽而喜庆的)”可知，对于喜欢热闹气氛的人来说，游览伦敦的最佳时间是冬天。故选D项。
14．推理判断题。根据第一段“London, with countless famous sites and all manner of food, drink, shopping, history, and culture, is definitely a wonderful city to visit.(伦敦，拥有无数的著名景点和各种各样的食物、饮料、购物、历史和文化，绝对是一个值得游览的好城市)”且结合文章主要介绍了游览伦敦的一些建议可推知，本篇文章可能选自旅行指南。故选B项。
15．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.(相反，你可以谈论电影、电视剧、书籍、旅行之类的话题，而不是工作或家庭)”可知，日常娱乐主题最适合用来和伦敦人开启对话。故选A项。
