题型简介
应用文是高考英语阅读理解的常见文体，主要来源于真实生活，具有鲜明的语言特色。它们种类繁多、涵盖面广，涵盖生活的各个方面，如旅游景点介绍、校园活动安排、商品促销等内容。包括广告、书信、海报、指南、产品介绍、启事、招聘、书评等。应用文材料题材丰富多样，标题、小标题以及重要的信息通常会以加粗字体或标下划线的形式突出呈现。
命题类型
细节理解题：要求考生对阅读材料中的某一具体事实和细节进行理解，这类题目主要考查考生对文章具体细节信息的捕捉和理解能力。题干通常会明确指出某一具体信息点，如时间、地点、人物、事件等细节内容。常见的命题方式有事实认定题、图形辨认题、数字运算题等。
细节推理题：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。例如如果在一篇关于新的课程安排的通知中，提到了增加了一些科技相关的课程，我们可以推断学校可能在加强科技教育方面的重视程度。
主旨大意题：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。如：对于一篇活动介绍的应用文，主旨大意题可能会问这个活动主要是关于什么的，是体育比赛、文化交流还是其他类型的活动。
解题思路
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。
定位信息：首先，根据题干中的关键词（如人名、地名、时间等），快速在文章中定位相关信息。例如，如果题干问的是活动的举办地点，就寻找文中出现地点的部分。
仔细比对：将选项内容与定位到的原文信息进行仔细比对，注意选项可能会对原文信息进行同义替换、颠倒顺序或者增减部分内容等干扰。
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，要做到快速而准确地获取和理解文中具体细节信息的能力。不要一字不落地阅读全文，这样会浪费很多时间，而是应该有选择地快速筛选和获取答题所需要的信息。
猜词悟义：通过构词、语法、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、上下文等线索推断词义。
巧用排除法：排除与文中陈述的事实相反的选项、文中完全没有提到的内容的选项、与全文内容或句子意义不沾边的选项、不合情理或荒谬的选项、表示间接或次要因素的选项。
题型01 “研读细节”题

细节理解类在高考阅读卷中占相当大比例，这类题考查对阅读材料中的某一具体事实和细节的理解，要求在快速阅读文章的同时，能从中获取某些特定的信息。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该类题的关键。
细节理解题一般根据短文提供的信息和事实进行提问，命题人往往通过对文章细节加以改写来考查考生准确理解细节的能力。
细节理解题在高考阅读理解中占有相当大的比例，一般包括：
1．直接信息题——在原文中可直接找到答案，常用wh，what，when，where，why和hw等提问。
2．间接信息题——需要将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语意上的转换，两者存在表达上的差异，有时需要进行加工或整理方能得出结论。

题型03 “文章出处”题

“推断文章出处”类试题应从文章的内容或结构入手来判断其出处：
研究报告类文章 (a research paper)：此类文章重点介绍科技领域最新研究成果：新发现、新思想、新发明。第一段概括介绍，然后分段陈述。文章结构严谨，语言规范，句式复杂。
图书评论类文章 (a bk review)：书评、影评类文章涉及到作者介绍，内容梗概、人物性格评论，写作特色以及个人好恶等内容。
广告英语类文章 (an advertisement)：现代生活中广告无处不在，英语阅读理解也是如此。有时会考查微型海报、通知、启示、时刻表、图表等。
科普杂志类文章 (a science magazine)：此类文章内容广泛，涉及到日常生活习惯、健康饮食、太空与海洋、创造与发明、计算机发展、人类未来、动物世界等。其重点是普及科学知识，提高科学素养。
教材课本类文章 (a gegraphy textbk)：此类文章内容比较正式，语言规范，往往涉及到学科术语、专业性词汇、概念、理论等。
课件展示类文章 (a class presentatin)：此类文章往往紧扣主题，口语性强、语言活泼，形式新颖，伴随有图片、图表、文字介绍等信息。
网络网页类文章 (an Internet page)：此类文章往往会提供超级链接标志，如Fr mre infrmatin, please click here.
做这类阅读理解题时，切不可凭自己主观印象，或根据所谓的经验，想当然地确定答案。对待任何一个选项同，都应该在原文中找到相关线索，这就如同破译密码一样。解题人的思维过程和出题人的思维过程恰好相反，出题人先找好线索，然后设计问题和选项，而解题人根据问题，再去文中找相关线索。

I live by the cast and wrk frm hme. This invlves respnding t telephne enuines, prducing educatin al resurces and setting up training curses. Occasinally, I g int ur main ffice but generally I am n the cast. I als wrk with schls and study centres and run curses fr castal managers and thse Invlved in making decisins abut the fate f the seas. I d things like take them ut t sea in a bat in an attempt t make them think mre abut the life underneath them. This ften changes their views as it’s very different frm making decisins using a cmputer screen. I am extremely lucky because cnservatin is my hbby, s the jb has many highs fr me. The dwnside f the jb is that I wrk fr a charity, s there is a cnstant need fr mre mney. This means I’m always lking fr mre resurces and I’m nt able t achieve everything I want.
■Janet — Teacher f Lndn Taxi Drivers
THE first thing I d when I get here at 7.30 a. m. is check the accunts.

When they’ re clse t the test, I’ll give them a simple rute and n matter what way they say they’ll g. I’ll tell them they have t use anther rute because the rad is clsed.

I discuss future prjects and current sales with c- publishers. I wrk as part f an enthusiastic Grup which makes the jb that much mre enjyable.

Max Flannel is back t grapple with yur wrkplace headaches.
Q1: Dear max, I am a 23-year-ld scial-media marketer wh has nly recently been required t return t the ffice. I had been tld that the ffice wuld be great fr having watercler cnversatins. My ffice desn’t seem t have a watercler. What shuld I d?
Al: Nw yu ask, I’m nt really even sure what a watercler is. But the basic idea is t find a place where yu knw clleagues are bund t g regularly and where yu can engage in light cnversatin abut whether they saw anything gd n TV last night. My advice is t hang arund any tap and yu shuld meet clleagues fairly regularly.
Q2: I have just been prmted int a senir rle. I have nticed that many f my new peers like t pen meetings with small persnal anecdtes abut smething that happened t them that day-a minr cycling accident, say, r a chance encunter with an ld acquaintance. It seems t be a way f getting peple t relax a bit. The truble is that nthing interesting ever seems t happen t me. What shuld I d?
A2: I wuldn’t wrry t much. Thse stries are mstly made-up and all deliberately bring. N executive ever pens a meeting talking abut hw they wke up in their wn clthes but in a ttal stranger’s apartment. The gal is nly t put peple at their ease by making the speaker seem faintly human. Just say exactly what yu put in yur message abve and then make yur face g a bit vulnerable. That shuld d the trick.
Q3: I can never time my interjectins crrectly. If I try t judge when a speaker is abut t stp talking, I either break in t early and end up aplgizing fr interrupting, r am a beat t slw and smene else grabs the flr. D yu have any tips?
A3:There are nly three ways t handle this cmmn prblem. One is t start s ludly that everyne immediately gives way. Yu may cme up against a fellw-shuter and then it’s just a battle f nerves: wh is ging t give way? The secnd is t raise yur hand and wait: yu’ll get yur turn eventually and be listened t. The third is t get prmted. If yu are senir enugh, it desn’t matter hw ridiculus a pint yu are making;everyne gives way. Keep sending me yur prblems, and enjy the break!
7．Which f the fllwing will benefit mst frm the passage?
A．An experienced career adviser.
B．A graduate wh is eager t find a jb
C．A yung manager wh has just been prmted.
D．A CEO wh wants t expand his business abrad.
8．What des the underlined phrase “grab the flr” in Q3 prbably mean?
A．slve prblems vluntarilyB．take the initiative t speak first
C．keep silence during a cnversatinD．deliberately interrupt thers’ speech
9．Which f the fllwing statements might Max Flannel agree with mst?
A．It’s harmful fr supervisrs t lk vulnerable in frnt f thers.
B．Yu dn’t need a real watercler t have a watercler cnversatin.
C．Getting prmted is the best way t avid being interrupted at crprate meetings.
D．It’s advisable t make up sme engaging stries abut yurself t increase yur ppularity.

Explring the sea usually means expliting it, which has caused numerus prblems and will cntinue t cause mre.
Mre explratin means mre pllutin. The Deepwater Hrizn spilled ver 200 millin gallns （加仑） f il int the sea in 2010. Plastic pllutin is als harmful, killing many birds and fish, and has even been fund in ur tap water. Mining fr resurces is damaging, especially in the Arctic. Climate change has led t less ice, which means we can lk fr mre fssil fuels（化石燃料） further nrth. But if we burn these, the ice will melt mre, thus wrsening this negative cycle. Whales and dlphins are als verfished fr their meat r fr research. Althugh this was banned in 1982, sme cuntries are still “murdering” these intelligent creatures withut mercy.
The sea stretches ut immeasurably but it is mre sensitive than we think. If we dn't prtect it, future generatins will nt frgive us.

T truly understand ur planet, we must explre the ceans which cver mst f it. Oppnents may be cncerned, but sea explratin matters t the future.
Gaining mre insights int the sea will als help us manage its resurces better. Lgging new species will imprve ur understanding f life n the earth. It may enable us t discver new medicines, as well as new surces f fd and energy. Accessing the deep cean may prvide hints f events such as earthquakes. The ppulatin f the wrld is grwing and we need new resurces fr future develpment. There are prbably vast amunts f resurces under the sea and ice, nt just il and gas but als valuable minerals. The related envirnmental risks shuld be balanced with ecnmic needs. Hpefully, as technlgy imprves, we can have mre ptins fr managing this balance.
