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

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。

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.

（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.

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

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。
数据计算例题一

2. How much do you pay for renting a bike with hand brake and three gears for two days
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。

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.

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

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。

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

on your travel bucket list.
Capital Gate-Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Capital Gate is one of the tallest buildings in Abu Dhabi. According to the Guinness World Records, Capital Gate is the world’s farthest leaning, man-made tower. The structure leans at an 18 degree angle, and intentionally

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is designed to store millions of different types of seeds for the replanting of various crops in the event of any number
of major global disasters. The building comes complete with blast-proof doors, airlocks, and motion sensors.
Palace of the Parliament-Bucharest, Romania
The Palace of the Parliament is the second largest administrative building on the planet. Indeed, it is so big that it can be seen from space. The structure was commissioned by the last communist dictator to rule in Romania.
A fraction of the building is in use today, most of it sitting idle.
Lotus Temple-Delhi, India

worship completed in 1986.
