    2. 命题规律及备考策略
    【命题规律】
    从命题上看,应用文主要考查细节理解,近年来也会考查推理判断、写作意图以及读者对象等。应用文阅读材料简单明了,主要考查考生快速而准确地获取和理解文中具体细节信息的能力。
    【备考策略】
    应用文阅读理解总体上要做到稳、准、快,在确保准确率的基础上提高阅读速度,以节省时间。解题时,要做到:
    (1)快速浏览主题。快速浏览加粗字体的标题、小标题或加下划线的语句等最重要的信息,以了解语篇提供的是哪方面的信息,并判定行文方式。
    (2)速读题干,跳读定位信息。接下来阅读每一道试题,根据题干定位信息点,并在文章中找出答案或相关信息。在定位和寻找信息点的时候,可以充分利用加粗字体的标题、小标题、加下划线的语句等重要信息提高阅读和解题速度,如果每则信息的项目及其位置具有一致性和对应性,就可利用其一致性和对应性快速查找答案,查找信息时不一定要读完全文。
    (3)细读解题信息。最后,根据查找的相关信息,经过思考后选出正确答案。
    【命题预测】
    从近三年命题的发展趋势来看,预测2024年高考应用文阅读理解试题难度会保持相对稳定,阅读材料会翻新,但会继续考查考生快速而准确地获取和理解文中具体细节信息的能力。



    题型总览

    应用文:广告、书信、列车或飞机的时刻表、产品说明书、宣传海报、简明新闻等都属于应用文,他们的目的都是为了向读者传输信息。在阅读这类文章时主要是注意细节信息(时间、地点、人物或数据),做题时,根据所提问题中的关键词定位,用寻读、跳读的方法更有效。
    【做题步骤】
    1.不需读原文(有题目和小标题的要看),直接看问题,划出问题中的关键词
    2.从题干中寻找关键词,定位问题答案
    【注意】
    ①细节题的正确选项大都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等)
    ②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
    (2023·新高考卷II阅读理解A篇)
    【2023年新高考全国Ⅱ卷】Yellowstone National Park offers a variety of ranger programs throughout the park, and throughout the year. The following are descriptions of the ranger programs this summer.

    Junior Ranger Wildlife Olympics (June 5 to August 21)

    Canyon Talks at Artist Point (June 9 to September 2)
    From a classic viewpoint, enjoy Lower Falls, the Yellowstone River, and the breathtaking colors of the canyon (峡谷) while learning about the area’s natural and human history.

    3. Where will the participants meet for the July 10 photography workshop?

    C. Canyon Village Store. D. Visitor Education Center.
    做题思路:
    1.快速阅读第一段和四个小标题,是黄石公园的四个护林员项目。
    2.直接按顺序做题。第一题,题干关键词“earliest”,直接定位原文括号当中的时间段。能很容易的选择D
    3.第二题,题干关键词“short talk ”“Artist Point ”。定位项目三“Canyon Talks at Artist Point ” while learning about the area’s natural and human history. Discover why artists and photographers continue to be drawn to this special place.选择D,
    4.第三题,题干关键词“the July 10 ”“Where ”,直接定位项目四,7/10 — Wildflowers &White Balance: meet at Washburn Trailhead in Chittenden parking area.
    选择B
    【结论】
    ①A篇阅读题型都是细节题,按题干定位寻找答案区间,难度不大,所以要求快。
    ②A篇常考难点题型一为数据计算题,一定要看准题干要求,胆大心细。
    ③A篇常考难点题型二为文章来源题/目标读者题,一定要从文章体裁考虑
    考点一 数据计算例题
    数据计算试题一般要求考生能根据阅读材料中给出的有关数据,找出计算关系,通过计算,得出正确的结论。这类计算一般来说比较简单,关键是要弄清各数据间的逻辑关系,选准比较的数据,弄清单位换算关系,确定计算方法,问题便迎刃而解了。对于数据较多、项目复杂用时间或空间跨度较大的短文,通常可采用“列表法”,即按一定的规律将数据分门别类地列出,化模糊为清晰,为计算打下基础。对于相对不太复杂的数据,可采用“推算法”,即以有关数据为基准,进行简单的运算就可得出。
    数字计算题最常用的方法:
    第一步:审读题干,提取关键信息;
    第二步:速读定位原文中包含该信息的相关段落;
    第三步:进行推算,得出答案。
    解题原则:文章中直接给出来相关数据,要经过具体的对比、分析、计算才能够得出答案。

    A. €15.75. B. €19.50. C. €22.75. D. €29.50.
    【2题详解】细节理解题。根据定价表可知,租一辆带手刹和三档的自行车一天需要14.75欧元,额外增加天数每天8欧元。所以租一辆带手刹和三档的自行车两天需要14.75+8=22.75欧元。故选C。

    今年错误率比较高的第二题,考生定位没有问题,但对additional理解有误,算成了14.75*2,答案应该为14.75+8.

    2.(2023·广东广州·统考三模)Cold rains, icy sidewalks and gray skies can make winter travel a trial. But hot drinks, snowy slopes, frozen lakes and blue skies full of fresh air? That’s the kind of winter we can all have a try. Here are some cities around the world that make for a great cold-weather destination.
    Prague, Czech Republic
    With its snow-capped towers and cobbled winding streets, Prague is a fairytale city that remains relatively tourist-free in winter. The unusual and impressive architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow. Gas street lamps throughout the city center add a romantic color to evenings. Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold. The fascinating Estates Theatre, where Mozart conducted the world premiere(首演) of “Don Giovanni” in 1787, is a must.
    Tromso, Norway
    Tromso, known as the capital of the Arctic, is great in winter. It’s widely regarded as Norway’s most beautiful city and is a base for spotting the northern lights. There are also fascinating museums, including the Polar Museum, which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions, and the Tromso Museum, famous for its Sami exhibitions.
    Amsterdam, Netherlands
    In winter, Amsterdam’s museums are much less crowded, making it the time to visit attractions such as Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House. Built originally to house a circus, the Royal Carré Theatre is more than 130 years old. Children will love the spectacular performances.
    Edinburgh, Scotland
    Cobbled streets, a beautiful castle and lovely public gardens make Edinburgh a beautiful city any time of year, but in winter it’s breathtaking. Princes Street Gardens is transformed into a wonderland, with ice skating rinks, enormous Christmas trees and a Ferris wheel. On the edge of the city, Arthur’s Seat is the perfect location for a winter walk and the views from the top are second to none.
    1.What is one of the attractions of Prague in winter?
    A.No charge for all tourists.
    B.Iconic architectures covered by snow.
    C.Colorful gas lamps for street lighting.
    D.Mozart’s performance “Don Giovanni”.
    2.If you take your 4-year-old kid, which place is the best choice?
    A.Prague, Czech Republic. B.Tromso, Norway.
    C.Amsterdam, Netherlands. D.Edinburgh, Scotland.
    3.Where is this text probably from?
    A.A tour blog. B.A travel magazine.
    C.A geography textbook. D.A government website.
    【答案】1.B 2.C 3.B
    【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些适合在冬季寒冷天气旅游的城市。
    1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“With its snow-capped towers and cobbled winding streets, Prague is a fairytale city that remains relatively tourist-free in winter. The unusual and impressive architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow.(白雪覆盖的塔楼和蜿蜒的鹅卵石街道,布拉格是一座童话般的城市,冬天游客相对较少。这座独特而令人印象深刻的建筑在一层雪下显得更加美丽。)”可知,在布拉格,游客可以欣赏到被雪覆盖的建筑。故选B。
    2.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Built originally to house a circus, the Royal Carré Theatre is more than 130 years old. Children will love the spectacular performances.(皇家歌剧院最初是为马戏团而建,至今已有130多年的历史。孩子们会喜欢这些精彩的表演。)”可判断,Amsterdam是最适合孩子去的城市。故选C。
    3.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Cold rains, icy sidewalks and gray skies can make winter travel a trial. But hot drinks, snowy slopes, frozen lakes and blue skies full of fresh air? That’s the kind of winter we can all have a try. Here are some cities around the world that make for a great cold-weather destination.(寒冷的雨、冰冷的人行道和灰色的天空会让冬季旅行变得很艰难。但是热饮、雪坡、冰冻的湖泊和充满新鲜空气的蓝天呢?这样的冬天我们都可以试一试。这里有一些世界各地的城市是寒冷天气的好去处。)”可知,文章主要介绍了一些适合冬季寒冷天气里旅游的城市,所以这篇文章是一篇旅游指南,最有可能摘自旅游杂志。故选B。
    3.(2023·贵州遵义·统考三模)Top 4 Mid-Range Mobile Phones
    If you don’t want to, you don’t need to break the bank to have a quality smartphone. Actually there are a wealth of choices in the more affordable range. Here are four phones that stand out.
    Honor 70
    The Honor 70 is a bit of an upgrade on the Honor 50, with much the same features, including a high-quality OLED display, though the 70 is slightly bigger. It has a fast-processing chip and is made for multitasking, so slow performance shouldn’t be a problem.
    Samsung A53
    The A53 comes in at slightly smaller than the A13 but also has some of the same features, a quad camera system, and a similar battery. However, the A53 does have a better full HD display and better peak brightness, ideal for watching movies and videos on the go.
    Oppo A94
    The A94 comes with very fast 5G capability, making long waiting times for downloads when watching video a thing of the past. Coupled with intelligent power consumption for longer use and a colourful, vibrant AMOLED display, it’s perfect for entertainment on the go.
    iPhone 12
    Powered by 5G and Apple’s A14 chip to enable faster downloading, streaming and overall boot up(开机)time, the iPhone 12 is a speedy and powerful device. Also featured is a HDR display for clear viewing-and Nano Ceramic Crystals in the glass display to protect the screen from the occasional drop and from scratches.
    1.What is the feature of Honor 70?
    A.It is designed to multitask. B.It is equipped with an HD display.
    C.It is smaller in size than Honor 50. D.It has the best battery performance.
    2.What do Oppo A94 and iPhone 12 have in common?
    A.They run at a high speed. B.They are easily scratched.
    C.They have the same display. D.They use the same type of chip.
    3.Where is this text most probably taken from?
    A.In a diary. B.In a novel.
    C.In a magazine. D.In a science paper.
    【答案】1.A 2.A 3.C
    【导语】本文是一篇应用文,告知人们如何用便宜的价格选购不错的手机。
    【详解】1.细节理解题。由Honor 70中关键句“It has a fast-processing chip and is made for multitasking, so slow performance shouldn`t be a problem.(它有一个快速处理芯片,专为多任务处理而设计,所以不会有性能缓慢的问题)”可知,Honor 70 以多任务为设计取向。故选A项。
    2.细节理解题。由Oppo A94中关键句“The A94 comes with very fast 5G capability, making long waiting times for downloads when watching video a thing of the past.(A94配备了非常快的5G功能,使观看视频时的长时间等待下载成为过去)”以及iPhone 12中关键句“Powered by 5G and Apple`s A14 chip to enable faster downloading, streaming and overall boot up time, the iPhone 12 is a speedy and powerful device.(采用5G和苹果的A14芯片,下载、流媒体速度更快,启动时间也更快,iPhone 12是一款速度快、功能强大的设备)”可知,两款手机运行速度快。故选A项。
    3.推理判断题。根据文章标题及第一段“Here are four phones that stand out.(以下是四款脱颖而出的手机)”及全文内容可知,这篇文章介绍了市面上的四款手机,最有可能来自一本杂志。故选C项。

    Passage 4
    (2023·江西·濂溪一中校联考模拟预测)From life-saving medical technologies to everyday household items, these four brilliant women left an indelible mark on history with their inventions.
    Modern ironing board by Sarah Boone
    Before the invention, clothing used to be ironed on wooden planks balanced between chairs. Though it seems like a simple invention, Bone put a lot of thoughts into it, which was evident in the end product. Aside from solving the initial problem of uneven ironing, Boone also made the ironing board’s legs folded for storage and designed a curved (弧形的) shape for the body to accommodate sleeves and curved areas. Alongside her invention, Boone also became one of the first African-American woman to receive a patent.
    Silk by Empress Lei Zu
    Though there is no way of confirming the account, ancient writings (including Confucius’) attribute the first invention of silk to the Chinese Empress Lei Zu, who was four-teen at the time and had been enjoying tea in the imperial gardens when a fateful incident took place. A cocoon (茧) fell into her teacup and lost its cohesiveness (粘结性) upon contact with the hot water. The fact that the cocoon was a single strand of silk had drawn Lei Zu’s attention and she wove the thread into fabric, creating silk cloth.
    Caller ID and call waiting by Shirley Ann Jackson
    Dr Shirley Ann Jackson broke the glass ceiling as the first African-American woman to be awarded a doctorate from MIT. She contributed to the invention of caller ID and call waiting during her research period at AT&.T Bell Laboratories, so we can now see the phone number and name of whoever is ringing our phones.
    Spray-on skin repair technique by Fiona Wood
    Dr Fiona Wood introduced spray-on skin repair technique to the world in the 1990s. The technique changed the way in which burn victims used to be treated, as spray-on skin repair technique can be directly applied to wounds to form a new layer of skin that promotes healing and minimises the risk of infection.
    10.What can we learn about Sarah Boone?
    A.She learned a lot from ironing. B.She solved the problem of washing.
    C.She created a piece of useful furniture. D.She was the first person to receive a patent.
    11.What inspired Lei Zu to find silk?
    A.Her interest in drinking tea. B.A cocoon dropping into her cup.
    C.A desire to write something crucial. D.Her working in the imperial gardens.
    12.Who made a contribution to medical cause?
    A.Sarah Boone. B.Lei Zu. C.Shirley Ann Jackson. D.Fiona Wood.
    【答案】10.C 11.B 12.D
    【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了四位杰出的女性。
    10.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Before the invention, clothing used to be ironed on wooden planks balanced between chairs. Though it seems like a simple invention, Boone put a lot of thoughts into it, which was evident in the end product. Aside from solving the initial problem of uneven ironing, Boone also made the ironing board’s legs folded for storage and designed a curved (弧形的) shape for the body to accommodate sleeves and curved areas.(在发明之前,衣服是在椅子之间的木板上熨烫的。虽然这看起来像是一个简单的发明,但Boone在其中投入了很多想法,这在最终产品中是显而易见的。除了解决最初熨烫不均匀的问题外,Boone还将熨衣板的腿折叠起来存放,并为木板设计了一个弯曲的形状,以容纳袖子和弯曲的区域)”可知,Sarah Boone发明的烫衣板是一件有用的家具。故选C项。
    11.细节理解题。根据第三段中“A cocoon (茧) fell into her teacup and lost its cohesiveness (粘结性) upon contact with the hot water. The fact that the cocoon was a single strand of silk had drawn Lei Zu’s attention and she wove the thread into fabric, creating silk cloth.(一只茧掉进了她的茶杯里,一接触到热水就失去了粘性。蚕茧是一根单丝,这引起了嫘祖的注意,她把丝线织成织物,制成了丝绸)”可知,嫘祖在花园喝茶时,一只茧掉进了她的杯子里。这个意外让她发现了蚕丝。故选B项。
    12.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Dr Fiona Wood introduced spray-on skin repair technique to the world in the 1990s.(菲奥娜·伍德医生在20世纪90年代向世界介绍了皮肤喷雾修复技术)”可知,Fiona Wood 首创了用喷雾治疗皮肤烧伤的技术,为医疗事业做出了贡献。故选D项。

    If you miss two PASS sessions in a row, you will be deregistered and your place will be given to someone on the waiting list. Make sure you fill in the attendance sheet at each session to record your attendance.
    You’ll be informed by email if you are being deregistered as a result of missing sessions. If you believe you have received the email in error, email the PASS office at passoffice@umbs. edu..

    Passage6
    【2022年天津卷第二次】Getting into college is a big step for high school graduates, and it comes with a lot of changes. For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life.
    Goal setting
    When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success.
    Interpersonal skills
    At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence.
    Studying
    With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule.
    Budgeting
    Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too.
    36. Who is this passage most probably written for?
    A. College teachers.
    B. University graduates.
    C. High school teachers.
    D. Would-be college students.
    37. What is the author’s suggestion for reaching a huge goal?
    A. Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones.
    B. Reward oneself for each goal one has set.
    C. Purchase a clear, updated roadmap.
    D. Push oneself to an upper level.
    38. One of the suggested ways to enhance your interpersonal skills is to ________.
    A. prepare complicated questions
    B. try on someone else’s shoes
    C. listen to others carefully
    D. take advantage of others
    39. What is the key to successful college study according to the author?
    A. Being well-organized.
    B. Being well-informed.
    C. Effective reading skills.
    D. Reliable research methods.
    40. To learn how to manage money, the first thing to do is________.
    A. save money for financial investment
    B. estimate one’s income and expenses
    C. set aside money for fun activities
    D. open a personal bank account
    【答案】36 D 37. A 38. C 39. A 40. B

    These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities(容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.

    ·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.

    【2021年天津卷第二次】When starting college, most students enjoy a week's stay on campus before classes actually begin. What should you do with that time? Below are several tips to ease(使熟悉) yourself into college life.
    Participating in Campus Welcome Activities
    Most universities host welcome events before the academic year officially begins, including freshmen orientations (迎新会),campus picnics, and entertainments like concerts.
    Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture: What do students do for fiin? What are their favorite classes? What is the history of your university? It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom.
    Exploring Campus
    Getting to know where essential campus resources are—such as the student advising center, psychological services, and the tutoring center~~will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier, because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes.
    Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held. This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes, and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place. If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings, a quick test run won't hurt. That way, you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes.
    Starting a Routine
    Before getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week, remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up. Starting classes means being in different places at different times, so it’s a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week.
    What helps you most is to schedule your sleep. Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake.
    If you have other daily routines, such as exercising or talking on the phone with family, work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule.
    36. By participating in campus welcome activities, freshmen can .
    A. learn about campus culture
    B. get their course schedule
    C. have a physical examination
    D. take an entrance test
    37. Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings ?
    A. To see how many facilities they can use.
    B. To avoid being late for future classes.
    C. To help those getting lost on campus.
    D. To practice running on their way to class.
    38. When is it best for freshmen to start getting used to the new routine?
    A. On the first day of their classes.
    B. Before the orientation week.
    C. After their first-day classes.

    39. What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class?
    A. Take physical exercise before class.
    B. Leave their phones powered off.
    C. Take early classes every day.
    D Keep to the sleep schedule.
    40. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
    A. To offer some tips on making an easier start at college.
    B. To remind freshmen about the first day of school.
    C. To help freshmen organize campus activities.
    D. To share his college experience with the reader.

    Gillian Fynn
    There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable
    The Stand
    Stephen King

    38. D【解析】细节理解题。由Documentary中的“A desktop computer, screen, projector, and loudspeaker will be available”可知,将提供台式电脑、屏幕、投影仪和扬声器。所以学校提供的视觉展示设备包括台式电脑和扩音器。故D选项正确。
    39. A【解析】细节理解题。本题采用排除法。由Essay Writing 中的“An academic paper of 2,000 to 2,5000 words ”No illustration are allowed。Please do not include covers. A list of references must be included”可知,要求一份2000至25000字的学术论文。不允许有插图。请不要包括封面。必须包括一份参考文献列表。所以通过排除法,可以看出B,C,D选项都被排除,故一个参与者需要在文章中列入更多的信息才能使一篇1500字的论文满足类别要求。故A选项正确。
    40. B【解析】细节理解题。由Important Dates中的“February 19 A committee of teachers will evaluate materials and give opinions ”可知,2月19日,教师委员会将对材料进行评估并发表意见。所以在2月19日。教师委员会将对材料做出评论。故B选项正确。
