新高考英语一轮复习练习考向25 阅读理解之应用文类(原卷版)

考向25阅读理解之应用文类【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。【应试指导】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、应用文语篇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。应用文主要设题类型及特点1.细节理解题针对应用文体裁的阅读训练多出现细节理解题。应用文不同于一般的文章，应用文的措辞简洁明了、直截了当，在阅读时须重点注意细节信息，最好采取跳读这种阅读方法。如：活动的具体时间和地点是什么？音乐会的具体举办时间是什么？所倡议的活动是针对哪些人展开的？这些细节问题都是同学们在阅读时需要特别注意的地方。常见的细节理解题的题干表达方式有“Whenisthesportsmeetinggoingtobeheld？”“Tysonwillinviteallofthefollowingexcept_______tohisbirthdayparty.”例如：TheincorrectdescriptionofLondonEyeisthat_______.A.itisoneoftheworld’stallestobservationwheelsB.youcanseeupto40kilometersawayinalldirectionsfromeachcapsuleC.ithas32capsulesandcarriesaround1，000visitorseverydayD.youcanenjoyafull360-degreepanoramawhenyouareatthetopofthewheel这是一个细节理解题，由表格一中第二句“Ithas32capsules（密闭舱）andcarriesabout10，000visitorseveryday.”可知，是10，000不是1，000答案应该选C。2.主旨大意题应用文强调实用性，无论是信件、广告、通知，还是倡议书、海报等，在阅读时都应该快速掌握其主旨大意。如：海报介绍的那部电影？通知的是哪个活动？邀请哪些人参加什么活动？这些都是主旨大意题考查的内容。常见的主旨大意题的题干表达方式有“Theposterintroducesusto_______.”“Thee-mailmainlytellsusabout_______.”例如：Theadvertisementmainlymakepeople_______.A.givehelptothoseinneedB.notthrowawayusedclothesC.knowabouttheorganizationD.learntheuseofdonatedclothes这是一个主旨大意题，由表格一中的“Don’tthrowawayusedclothes.Usethemtohelpchangethelivesofothers.”可知答案应该选A。3.观点态度题作者往往通过海报、广告等形式的应用文表明自己对于某事的态度，也可以通过通知、倡议书、邀请函等形式暗示自己对某次活动的看法和态度。常见的观点态度题的题干表达方式有“Whatistheauthor’sattitudetowards...”“Whatdoestheauthorthinkofthe...？”例如：InAllison’sopinion，otherkidsofheragemay_______theirparents.A.haveproblemswithB.getonwellwithC.liketotalktoD.liketolistento这是一个观点态度题，从信中的第一段中“kidssaytheydon’tgetonwellwiththeirs”可知答案应该选A。4.推理判断题与记叙文和说明文有所不同，应用文阅读中出现的推理判断题常考查文章的出处或者来源，常见的题干表达方式有“Youcanfindthead_______.”“Wherewouldyouprobablyreadthenotice？”例如：Wecaninfer（推断）fromtheadvertisementsthat_______.A.noneoftheorganizationacceptchildren’sclothesB.peoplecandonateusedclothesthroughouttheUSAC.someorganizationneedmoneytohelpsomepeopleD.somedonatedclotheswillbegiventocancerpatients这是一个推理判断题，由表格二中第二句“Sales（销售额）ofyourusedclotheswillsupport…”，由表格三中第二句“Salesfromusedclotheswillbenefit（有助于）”，由表格四中第二句“SalefromdonatedclotheswillhelptheBoysandGirlsClubinVenice，CA.”可知答案应该选C。【检测训练】1LifeandHealthInsuranceRiskManagerWantedOurcompanyhaspartneredwithaninternationalinsurerandislookingforafull-timeriskmanagerwithresponsibilityfortheUKLifeandHealthInsurancebusiness.Theroleisinasmallriskteamandissuitedtoahigh-performingindividual.Responsibilities*Supportthechiefriskofficer;*Overseethereportingofhealthandliferisks;*Deliveradviceandcooperatewithsomestakeholders(利益相关者);*Assessrelevantrisksoftechnicalpricingandreinsurance;*Continuouslycontributetothecapitalrequirements,internalmodelreviewanddatamodelprocesses.KeyrequirementsTheindividualwillbeaqualifiedlifeorhealthmanagerwhohasexperienceinriskmanagementorconsulting.YoumustworkintheUK---theseruleshavechangedrecently,sowhenapplying,pleasestateyourqualificationtoworkintheUK.(E.g.Britishpassport,Irishpassport,ILR,settled-status,etc.)Salary￡70,000-￡90,000peryearandperformance-basedsalary.ContactinformationThedeadlineforapplicationsis14thMay,2021.Ifyouareinterested,pleaseapplyhereorcontacttheassociateconsultantAbiLogeswaranatHFGInsuranceRecruitment(招聘).Signintoapplyinstantly.We'dlovetosendyouinformationaboutJobsandServicesfromCareersinRbyemail.Wedonotshareyourinformationwiththirdpartiesformarketingpurposes.ByapplyingforajoblistedonCareersinRyouagreetoourtermsandconditionsandprivacypolicy.Youshouldneverberequiredtoprovidebankaccountdetails.Ifyouare,pleaseemailus.1.Whatdoweknowaboutthejob?A.Ithuntsforachiefriskofficer.
