专题12 阅读理解之应用文



一、命题分析
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，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、题型概述
应用文的类型主要有：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。一般说来，应用文英语阅读试题具有以下特点：选材信息量大，文句精炼，形式灵活；内容生活化，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。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。语言上人名、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。
三、 选项特点
1．正确选项的特点
(1)、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)、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。
(3)、选项会有生僻的专有名词，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。
2．干扰选项的特点
(1)、对词汇量考查不断加大，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)。
(2)、表层意义理解题减少，深层含义理解题增多。
四、解题技法

审题口诀：
应用文体较容易，快速浏览明大意。
跳读内容重细节，亦可舍文先读题。
相关内容细比对，信息吻合破无机。






[方法1]、先题后文法
应用文体文章比较长，此时我们不必记住所有信息，可以先阅读题目，带着问题阅读，多注意细节，如时间、地点、人物或数据等，简明扼要地抓住所需信息，理解文章内容。尤其是广告文章的阅读一般采取跳读、略读等快速阅读法，快速浏览信息，搜索对比。对文中信息的快速处理能力是考查阅读理解能力的重要方面。

（四川省广安市第二中学高三11月份质量检测）A night in the African rainforest, camping under the stars, right next to the mighty Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, is just one of the many never-to-be-forgotten experiences of our latest offer to Weekly News readers.
Day 1: The 5*Victoria Falls Hotel will satisfy all your needs during your first day in Africa after the 30-km drive from the new international airport.

[方法2]、题干定位法

应用文阅读材料包含的某一方面的信息非常全面，能满足各种人对信息的需求，但在试题中，常常是就某一点提问，以细节理解题为主，考生完全没有必要从头到尾全部仔细阅读，因为材料中有很多冗余无效信息。做此类题时，宜采用＂题干定位法＂，即先阅读题干，然后根据问题要求，按照题目顺序依次有针对性地结合题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，阅读相关部分，快速寻找有效信息，再把原文和选项相比较。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。

【语篇解读】
本文是一篇应用文，文章提供了关于儿童博物馆团体游的相关信息。
【详情解析】
1．【C】细节理解题。根据Scholarship标题下“We offer scholarships to low-income schools and youth organizations, subject to availability. Participation in a post-visit survey is required.(我们会视情况而定，为低收入学校和青年组织提供奖学金，并需要其参与访问后调查问卷)”可知，如果一个团体获得了奖学金，需要在参加一个访后的调查问卷，与选项C“Take a survey after the visit.(接受参观后的问卷调查)”属于同义替换，故选C。
2．【C】细节理解题。根据“Group Size”标题下“We require one chaperone (监护人) per ten children.(我们要求每十个孩子有一个监护人)”可知，10个孩子需要1个监护人，那么30个孩子则需要3个监护人。故选C。

[方法3]. 选项排除法

排除法在应用文阅读中也应用得较多，即排除与文章内容不一致的错误信息，从而确定正确选项。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。

Passage 2、（2022-2023学年度河北·唐山一中高三期中测试）
Every year, Time magazine picks out what it calls “The 25 Best Inventions” of the year. Here, Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones.
Ember Mug
It’s hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature, especially in winter. It’s too hot to drink at first, but before we know it, it gets too cold and loses all its taste. The perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds, which makes the Ember Mug a great invention. It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature, anywhere between 45℃ and 62℃, once you set it through a smartphone app.
Tasty One Top
TV cooking shows make cooking look so easy, but it’s almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook. However, the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help. Developed by BuzzFeed, the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app, which has more than 1,700 recipes and videos. You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do. For example, it’ll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients.
Jibo
Smart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives, but they’re still just faceless speakers. However, Jibo, developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal, has brought smart technology to life. Said to be “the world’s first social robot for the home”, Jibo looks like a cartoon character. Inside its “head”, there are various sensors and cameras, which allow it to recognize faces and speech. It can also set alarms, remind you of important things, tell you the weather and read news or messages from your friends and family.
4．How can Tasty One Top help people?
A．By teaching people how to cook. B．By offering people different recipes.
C．By saving energy while cooking. D．By offering different kinds of cooking apps.

Passage 4、（2022--2023学年度浙江·嘉兴一中高三期中测试）
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people’s understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful for people’s spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological science shows that around this period, the earth becomes wet, the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains", which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of' spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.
10．What can we know about Rain Water?
A．River water starts to freeze.
B．Taking off the thick coats is advisable.
C．Lively spring-like scenery can be seen.
D．It falls between the end of spring and the start of summer.
11．What do Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain have in common?
A．Farming season. B．Animal activities.
C．Air temperature. D．Frequent thundering.
12．In which solar term would people most probably put on masks?
A．Rain Water. B．Grain Rain.
C．Spring Equinox. D．Awakening of Insects.
【语篇解读】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国24节气中的“雨水”、“惊蛰”、“春分”和“谷雨”这四个节气，让我们进一步了解这四个节气的气候和习俗。
【详情解析】
10．【C】细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again.(随着它的到来，河水解冻，大雁由南向北迁徙，树木和草又变绿了)”可知，雨水之后热闹的春色随处可见。故选C项。
11．【A】判断推理题。根据第三段中“It is the key time for spring agricultural activities.(这是春季农业活动的关键时期)”可知，惊蛰是农业的关键，以及最后一段第一句“Grain Rain originates from the old saying, ‘Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains’, which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land.(谷雨源于古语“雨生百谷”，说明这一时期的降雨对农作物的生长极为重要，人们正忙于耕作)”结合来看，可得知惊蛰和谷雨这两个节气对农业来说都很重要，是耕作的季节。故选A项。
12．【B】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.(由于土壤干燥，大气不稳定和强风，沙尘暴变得更加频繁)”可推测，在谷雨时沙尘暴经常出现，所以人们最可能需要佩戴口罩保护自己。故选B项。

Passage 6、（2022·湖北·华中师大一附中高考考前测试卷）
Pop art, which emerged in the '50s and rose in popularity throughout the '60s, sought to challenge the idea of fine art.
Andy Warhol (1928-1987)
Andy Warhol is probably the most influential figure of Pop Art. He became a famous celebrity himself. Understanding ‘star-culture’, advertisement and the effect of the media, he made these the core of his work. His screenprinted images of Marilyn Monroe, Soup cans, and sensational newspaper stories, quickly became synonymous(同义词) with Pop art.
Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997)
Roy Lichtenstein is one of the fathers of the Pop Art movement. In November 2015, Christie’s sold Lichtenstein’s ‘Nurse’ for a record $95.4 million. In this piece, as well as in other works, we can see how the enlarged imagery of adverts and comics with recognisable characters, highlights the ironic(讽刺好笑的) images and situations in every-day life.
Mimmo Rotella (1918-2006)
Italian artist Mimmo Rotella, was one of the most important figures of post-war European art. He combined pieces of adverts and posters in his works. For this technique he used a series of torn posters, gathering them to create a tremendously expressive and powerful aesthetic(美学). His works Sempre lei Marilyn (2002) and Viva America(1963) are easy to recognize.
James Rosenquist (1933-2017)
James Rosenquist can be considered one of the strongest and most influential modern Pop Art artists. His work dived deep into cinematography and advertising. He employed techniques which are conventionally used to create Commercial Art. His works appear as an overwhelming mixture of fragmented(成碎片的) images of current celebrities, everyday objects and popular foods - giant lipsticks or spaghetti. If you go to Centre Pompidou, Paris, you can see his work President-Elect.
16．What artwork will you turn to if you are interested in Andy Warhol?
A．Marilyn Monroe. B．Nurse.
C．Viva America. D．President-Elect.
17．Which artist creates his works by putting together cut and torn posters?
A．Andy Warhol. B．Roy Lichtenstein.
C．Mimmo Rotella. D．James Rosenquist.
18．What do the four pop art artists’ works have in common?
A．They are typical fine art. B．They show ironic everyday life.
C．They employ traditional techniques. D．They are somewhat related to commercials.

Passage 8、（2022--2023学年度广东·肇庆市第一中学高三第一次教学质量检测）
Best Short Story Collections Everyone Should Read
If you are on the lookout for great storytelling but don’t want to commit to a full-length novel, then short story collections are the answer. Here we have gathered four of the best short stories and collections, from all sorts of backgrounds and sources, to help you grow your“To Be Read”pile.
Runaway by Alice Munro
This award-winning collection features eight stories by the Canadian author Alice Munro. With straightforward and accessible prose(散文)，Munro tells stories of women and their relationships——with strong themes of love, friendship, and motherhood, among others. The idea of running away is another theme found throughout these stories.

The Refugees by Vied Thanh Nguyen
From Thanh Nguyen comes this Pulitzer Prize winning collection of eight short stories that are all about Vietnamese refugees(难民)who have moved to the US.

Charlie’s luck changes when he is selected for an experiment that purports to turn him into a genius——but everything that goes up must come down in the end.Flowers for Alger-non won the Hugo Award in 1960 for its groundbreaking presentation.

Old and historical cinemas are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook uncovers their often overlooked beauty.
Loew’s Palace Theatre
Originally opened as the Poli’s Palace Theatre in 1922 by architect Thomas W. Lamb, it was one of a double theatre complex along with the neighbouring Poli’s Majestic Theatre. In 1934, both theatres were taken over by Loew’s and operated as film theatres. In the late 1970s, an attempt to turn the building into a Christian Revival Centre never succeeded. The theatre is presently vacant and awaiting restoration.
Metropolitan Opera House
Originally founded as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908, it was designed by local architect William H. McElfatrick, who was in charge of the design of 40 theatres in his career. The Philadelphia Opera House was designed for opera manager Oscar Hammerstein as his ninth opera house. In 1910, it was sold to the Metropolitan Opera of New York City and was renamed the Met. Through the 1920s, it showed silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the late 1930s, it became a ballroom, and in the 1940s a sports area for basketball, wrestling, and boxing events. It finally closed in 1954 and was turned into a church.
Robin’s Theatre
Opened in 1923, it had 1,500 seats, and was designed by architects I. J. Goldston and Detroit-based C．Howard Crane. It was operated by The Robins Theatre Enterprises Co., a local company founded by Daniel Robins, who was an early partner of Albert Warner of Warner Bros. It closed in 1974 and was vacant until 2018, when it was renovated and reopened as a multipurpose venue in 2020.
25．At present, where are you likely to go for a concert?
A．Loew’s Palace Theatre. B．Christian Revival Centre.
C．Robin’s Theatre. D．Metropolitan Opera House.
26．What do Loew’s Palace Theatre and Metropolitan Opera House have in common?
