名校优选专项通关练
【解题策略】
应用文的设问一般按照文章段落的顺序依次设置,设问内容一般以细节题为主,兼有询问出处和写作意图的题目。解答应用文，离不开下面方法。
快速定位法：在试题中寻找题干关键的线索词,如名词、动词、形容词或副词等实义词,带着问题和它们去阅读短文,要标明其出处,为迅速、准确地选择正确的答案作好充分准备;
选项排除法：根据题干提供的信息，把一眼就能看出的干扰项排除，缩小选择范围，然后将剩余选项依据原文辨别真伪。
数字计算法：对文章中提到的数据进行简单的加减乘除运算，以得出符合题目要求的数据。
忠实于原文：该类题源于短文,在解题时要紧扣原文,在短文中找到相应出处,以此为中心展开进行答题。
快速浏览法：回答文章出处和写作意图题时，要理解文章的主旨大意。一篇文章通常是围绕一个中心展开的,所以只有通过阅读掌握该短文的主旨大意,才能正确理解短文,进而根据短文的事实、细节推断作者的观点和写作意图。通过寻找短文的主题句，而主题句通常在段首(最常见)、段中、段尾，段道和段尾或隐含在段落中。解答主旨大意题时采用快速浏览法,即可找到主题句或主题线索。
关注长难句：文章的长难句处常会设问题，必须学会拆分理解长难句。
关注转折词：文中however, but, instead, rather等表达转折意义的逻辑词，这类词后常命题。
关注同义替换：原句重复出现，一般都是干扰项，正确选项一般都是有改动的。

There is a kind of woman in the world who has the ability to accomplish the difficult challenges of their own life and to inspire others to achieve great things. They’re strong and independent, wise and successful, talented and brave, and can teach all of us a lot.
Still Alice
In this film, we can catch a glimpse of a family’s relationships, fears, concerns and struggles. The film’s main character Alice, aged 50, copes bravely with Alzheimer’s disease: she’s the perfect example of an iron-willed woman.
Julianne Moore’s amazing performance adds extra charm to this character.
Erin Brockovich
The film is about Erin Brockovich, a strong yet easily-hurt woman, but ordinary weakness is not allowed in her situation. She may not be a genius, but her persistence and concern for others allow her to achieve the impossible: a victory over a powerful and major corporation that is literally poisoning people.
When you are about to give up on something, simply watch this movie for motivation.
The Devil Wears Prada
As assistant to impossibly demanding New York fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, young Andy Sachs has landed a job that “a million girls would die for.” Unfortunately, her heaven-sent appointment as Miranda’s assistant just might be the death of her!
There’s a very classic line in the film: Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. That means it’s time for a promotion.
Mona Lisa Smile
This movie teaches you about dignity, courage and persistence, and the central theme is learning to have a mind of your own.
Katherine Watson is a recent UCLA graduate hired to teach art history at the all-female Wellesley College, in 1953. Determined to face up to the outdated customs of society, Katherine inspires her traditional students to challenge the lives they are expected to lead.

8．推理判断题。根据Erin Brockovich中“The film is about Erin Brockovich, a strong yet easily-hurt woman, but ordinary weakness is not allowed in her situation. She may not be a genius, but her persistence and concern for others allow her to achieve the impossible: a victory over a powerful and major corporation that is literally poisoning people.”（这部电影讲述的是艾琳·布罗科维奇，一个坚强但容易受伤的女人，但在她的情况下，普通的软弱是不允许的。她可能不是一个天才，但她的坚持和对他人的关心让她实现了不可能的目标：战胜一家强大的大公司，这家公司实际上是在毒害人们。）和“When you are about to give up on something, simply watch this movie for motivation.”（当你打算放弃某件事时，只要看这部电影就可以获得动力。）可知，电影Erin Brockovich讲述了艾琳·布罗科维奇在任何情况下都不妥协的故事，传达了永远不要妥协的精神。故选A项。

Four Future Technologies to Change the World in the Next Decade
Underwater gloves
Researchers have developed “octa gloves” that copy the suction (吸力) properties of an octopus (章鱼). Using a network of microsensors, the suction cups on the gloves can tighten and relax to grab underwater items without breaking them.
This technology could potentially be employed by underwater archaeologists, rescue divers, bridge architects, and other similar professionals.
Health-monitoring “Digital Twins”
A scanner has been developed, which can test hundreds of indicators within an hour. The information about these indicators can be used to create a 3D digital twin of a patient’s body, which can be monitored over time and changed with each new examination.
It is predicted that with this new technology, we will enter a new era of preventative and individualized medicine.
3D-printed bones
One of the most interesting applications of 3D printing technology is the creation of 3D-printed bones. A substance similar to human bones’ can be used to create a 3D model of the required patient-specific implantation (移植) according to the images and be used in an operation.
Due to the use of the special substance, the muscle will change these 3D-printed implants into real bones, allowing for the complete healing of bones’ functions.
Hydrogen planes
A team has put forward a proposal for a mid-sized plane powered by liquid hydrogen. It would be capable of carrying about 279 persons around the globe nonstop.
If this innovation could occur, a nonstop , zero-carbon flight connecting any two places in the world would be possible.
28．Which innovation is inspired by the feature of an animal
A．Digital Twins. B．3D-printed bones.
C．Octa gloves. D．Hydrogen planes.
29．Who might be most interested in 3D-printed bones
A．A frogman in search of sunken treasures.
B．An athlete in need of ankle replacement.
C．A student majoring in preventative medicine.
D．A navigator promoting environmental protection.
30．How will the four technologies impact us
A．They will improve our life and work.
B．They will better our environment.
C．They will boost our work efficiency.
D．They will help prolong our life.
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四项在未来十年将改变我们生活的新科技。
28．细节理解题。根据Underwater gloves中“Researchers have developed “octa gloves” that copy the suction (吸力) properties of an octopus (章鱼). (研究人员已经开发出模仿章鱼吸力特性的“八爪手套”)”可知，八爪手套的灵感来自章鱼这种动物的特性。故选C项。
29．推理判断题。根据3D-printed bones中“A substance similar to human bones’ can be used to create a 3D model of the required patient-specific implantation (移植) according to the images and be used in an operation. (一种类似于人类骨骼的物质可以根据图像创建所需患者特定植入的3D模型，并用于手术)”可知，3D打印骨骼可以创建出患者需要的骨骼模型，用于手术植入。由此推知，需要踝关节置换的运动员会对此最感兴趣。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据Underwater gloves中“This technology could potentially be employed by underwater archaeologists, rescue divers, bridge architects, and other similar professionals. (这项技术有可能被水下考古学家、救援潜水员、桥梁建筑师和其他类似的专业人士使用)”、Health-monitoring “Digital Twins”中“It is predicted that with this new technology, we will enter a new era of preventative and individualized medicine. (据预测，有了这项新技术，我们将进入一个预防和个性化医疗的新时代)”、3D-printed bones中“Due to the use of the special substance, the muscle will change these 3D-printed implants into real bones, allowing for the complete healing of bones’ functions. (由于使用了这种特殊物质，肌肉会将这些3D打印的植入物变成真正的骨骼，从而使骨骼的功能完全愈合)”和Hydrogen planes中“If this innovation could occur, a nonstop , zero-carbon flight connecting any two places in the world would be possible. (如果这项创新能够实现，连接世界上任何两个地方的不间断零碳飞行将成为可能)”可知，这四项技术分别可以促进水下作业相关行业、预防和个性化医疗、骨骼手术、零碳飞行的发展。由此可知，它们有助于提高我们的生活品质和改善我们的工作条件。故选A项。专题01 应用文通关练

There is a kind of woman in the world who has the ability to accomplish the difficult challenges of their own life and to inspire others to achieve great things. They’re strong and independent, wise and successful, talented and brave, and can teach all of us a lot.
Still Alice
In this film, we can catch a glimpse of a family’s relationships, fears, concerns and struggles. The film’s main character Alice, aged 50, copes bravely with Alzheimer’s disease: she’s the perfect example of an iron-willed woman.
Julianne Moore’s amazing performance adds extra charm to this character.
Erin Brockovich
The film is about Erin Brockovich, a strong yet easily-hurt woman, but ordinary weakness is not allowed in her situation.

The Devil Wears Prada
As assistant to impossibly demanding New York fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, young Andy Sachs has landed a job that “a million girls would die for.” Unfortunately, her heaven-sent appointment as Miranda’s assistant just might be the death of her!
There’s a very classic line in the film: Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. That means it’s time for a promotion.
Mona Lisa Smile
This movie teaches you about dignity, courage and persistence, and the central theme is learning to have a mind of your own.
Katherine Watson is a recent UCLA graduate hired to teach art history at the all-female Wellesley College, in 1953. Determined to face up to the outdated customs of society, Katherine inspires her traditional students to challenge the lives they are expected to lead.

Bright worlds that you haven’t seen before, “ the Director Nia DaCosta told Total film.

But a 17-year-old girl, Asha (Ariana DeBose), questions whether the king should keep that power all to himself. She wishes on a star-and the star then falls from the sky to help her. Buck told Jackson Murphy at Animation Scoop that the film is “kind of our love letter to Disney, to Walt.”
Released internationally from 22 November.
Napoleon
Ridley Scott’s 28th film is an epic biopic of Napoleon Bonaparte, with Joaquin Phoenix as the French general, and Vanessa Kirby as his wife Josephine. It’s reported to be three hours long, with six major battle sequences-although it’s as much a character-driven drama as it is a war movie.
