专题1.1阅读理解之应用文-2024年新高考英语二轮复习重难点突破
高考英语阅读理解题所选体裁多种多样，通常以应用文、记叙文、说明文和议论文为主；其所选阅读语篇总离不开“人与自我、人与社会和人与自然”等三大话题主题语境，涉及包括科普、社会、文化、政治、经济等多方面内容；不同的体裁有不同的写作手法，不同的话题也有不同的表达方法，在阅读和解题时相应地也有不同的阅读重点和解题思路。本专题主要讨论“应用文”阅读理解之重难点的突破。
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、宣传海报、公告(包括行车时刻表)、产品的说明书、旅游信息/指南、征稿启事、招聘启事、失物招领等；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。高考试题主要为说明性应用文，偶尔也会有叙述性应用文类的文章出现。
应用文阅读理解题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。设问的形式以细节理解题为主，兼有推理判断题(包括对短文出处、写作意图的推断)，偶尔也有主旨大意题和词义猜测题。因此，应用文阅读重点要注意文中具体细节的把握与理解，弄清作者所要传达的实际信息及表达的具体内容。

三年新高考阅读理解体裁A篇均为应用文，题型以考查细节理解题为绝对多数，故应用文阅读理解题的解题重在细节的理解。
细节理解题所考查的内容主要有：直接信息题和间接信息题。直接信息题的答案几乎可以直接从原文中找出来，考生只要根据题干中的关键词与原文进行对照，就能找到答案；间接信息题也就是语义转化题(需要将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语义上的转换，两者存在表达上的差异，有时需要进行加工或整理后方能得出结论)。这类题目要求考生能理解原文中某个短语或句子的含义，从而找到与答案意思相同的词语和句子。这种题属于中档层次题，包括数字计算题、排列顺序题、图表图画题等。
正确选项的主要特征：
采用一定的命题手段把原文中的关键部分在正确选项中以另外一种方式进行表述。其中最主要的手段就是语义转化。
1.通过“替换手段”进行语义转化：把原文中的关键部分在正确选项中进行同义近义替换；
2.通过“转换手段”进行语义转化：把原文中关键词在正确选项中变换词性；在正确选项中改变原句的
语态；把原文中的意思在正确选项中反过来表达(正话反说或反话正说)；把原文中的复杂语言现象在
正确选项中进行简化；使用原文词的上下义范畴以转换表达的形式在正确选项中呈现。例如，原文
提到animal，选项可以用dog, lion, tiger转换；原文提到computer, spaceflight, invention，选项可以用
science转换。
应用文阅读理解题看似简单，其实不然。考生们应该知道，新高考I卷阅读理解A篇通常境况下是应用文体裁，且以考查细节理解题为主，但到了解题时有不少考生可能又会一头雾水，解题结果往往是一地鸡毛。究其造成如此后果的原因可能有以下几点：
1.陌生词汇：应用文中像人物、地点、场所、机构等专有名词比较多。除此之外，还有比较多的缩略词，阅读时会让考生眼花缭乱、草木皆兵，觉得到处皆有自己不认识的词；
2.长短句式：应用文中长句特别长，短句又特别短(祈使句、省略句)，阅读时长句会让考生丈二和尚摸不着头脑，短句又让考生弄不清深浅；
3.叠加信息：应用文中为了强调主要信息，作者利用附加成分(如：从句、介词短语、非谓语动词短语等)对主要信息进行叠加，让考生阅读时主次不分、顾此失彼；
4.真假选项：四个备选项的设置相互之间干扰性比较强，其中只有一个全真，其余三个要么是真假参半，要么是全部都假，让考生在解题作出选择时左右为难、真假难辨。
1.先题后文：先读题目，了解考点；带着考点用寻读、跳读的方法快速阅读，边读边圈，获取信息；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；
2.模糊生词：无关答题的陌生词，直接跳过，不去纠结；涉及答题的陌生词，则根据语境、构词法等猜词意；
3.抓住重点：阅读长句时，重在抓住主干信息，次要信息一带而过；
4.补全信息：对于影响理解的省略句，可根据语境，将其补全。
1.题干定位，题文比对
细节的直接辨认并不要求考生对语篇中所呈现的事实做出解释或判断，而是要求考生从语篇中直接获取信息。此类题几乎就是送分题，考生万万不可大意。解题时考生要认真阅读题干(题目所问)，锁定关键词，根据题干中的“关键词”定位到原文中“相关信息”点，仔细比对所给选项与原文中相关信息，与原文信息吻合的选项就是正确答案。
2.“定”章取义，做好匹配
细节的间接辨认不仅要求考生能从语篇中找到相关信息，还要求考生能将这些信息进行整合采用“变换”的方式进行理解。此类题稍微有些难度，可以采用“定‘章’取义”法来解题。所谓“定‘章’”是指在解题时，抓住题干中的关键词先定位到原文相关处或段落处(不止一处或可能不止一段)，锁定关键信息，这就是所谓的“‘定’章”。然后准确理解每个选项的意思后“定‘章’”处通过简单的推理或推算获取恰切的意思，这就是所谓的“取义”。接着做好比较，搞定答案(比较选项与原文信息，做好匹配搞定正确选项)。
注：高考阅读理解最为有效的解题方法就是定位/章+理解+匹配(适用于所有题型)。

Rebecca Lee Crumpler(1831 — 1895)worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860.

(2024届浙江省强基联盟适应性考试)Historic Sites in Paris
Paris is a city full of sites of different times and architectural styles. Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past.
Eiffel Tower
Presented as part of the 1889 World Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has become the city’s most famous attraction.

Dating back to the 12th century, the Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River.

If you want to do vocational training in healthcare, social services or technical professions, you can do school-based vocational training in Germany.
What is it
School-based vocational training does not take place partly in a company, but only at a vocational school or a vocational college. Here you are not an apprentice(学徒)in a company, but you learn practically full-time at the school desk.
What does it teach you
You will find a variety of professions that you can learn at a vocation al school or a vocational college. Offers are available for professions such as nurse, kindergarten teacher and medical-technical assistant.

(2024·河南新乡·统考一模)If you’re looking to lose weight or maintain healthy weight levels, it is important to include oatmeal(燕麦片)in your diet. It is highly nutritious, contains the best kind of complex carbs(碳水化合物), and is high in fiber. Let’s learn something about it.
Why is oatmeal effective for losing weight
●First and foremost, oatmeal is a perfect source of fiber, which is essential if you’re looking to lose weight. Simply put, including more fiber into your daily diet is the easiest way to drop those pounds. Why Fiber makes you feel full in addition to digesting slowly, and so you eat less.
●Another factor is that oatmeal has a zero sugar index, meaning your body won’t need to produce the extra insulin(胰岛素)that transfers sugar into stored fat. It goes without saying that if you have less stored fat to begin with, you are going to weigh less.
Which kind of oatmeal is best
If your goal is to lose weight, you should be aware that not all oatmeal is the same. The four most common types are steel-cut oatmeal, rolled oatmeal, quick oatmeal and instant oatmeal.
●Steel-cut oatmeal: It contains the most fiber and has the lowest blood sugar index. It is unprocessed and has a nuttier flavor than the other two whereas quick oatmeal has the mildest flavor.
●Rolled and quick oatmeal: They are nearly as good, so ultimately the decision is mostly about taste preference.
●Instant oatmeal: It contains added sugar and is highly processed, so you end up with none of the health benefits but with all of the things you shouldn’t be eating if you want to lose weight.
Although reducing your calorie intake and eating the right foods is important, any weight loss program should also include exercise so that you don’t lose muscle mass.
21.Who is the text mainly intended for
A. People wanting to be quickly recharged.
B. People longing to keep healthy weight levels.
C. People who are eager to prepare quick breakfast.
D. People who prefer to gain weight rather than lose weight.
22.Which oatmeal should be avoided for dieters according to the text
A. Steel-cut oatmeal. B. Rolled oatmeal. C. Instant oatmeal. D. Quick oatmeal.
23.What can we learn from the text
A. Oatmeal is a high-calorie food.
B. Doctors can’t help you make any change.
C. All kinds of oatmeal have à weight loss effect.
D. A proper diet and exercise will help you lose weight.

23.【答案】D

高考英语阅读理解题所选体裁多种多样，通常以应用文、记叙文、说明文和议论文为主；其所选阅读语篇总离不开“人与自我、人与社会和人与自然”等三大话题主题语境，涉及包括科普、社会、文化、政治、经济等多方面内容；不同的体裁有不同的写作手法，不同的话题也有不同的表达方法，在阅读和解题时相应地也有不同的阅读重点和解题思路。本专题主要讨论“应用文”阅读理解之重难点的突破。
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、宣传海报、公告(包括行车时刻表)、产品的说明书、旅游信息/指南、征稿启事、招聘启事、失物招领等；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。高考试题主要为说明性应用文，偶尔也会有叙述性应用文类的文章出现。
应用文阅读理解题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。设问的形式以细节理解题为主，兼有推理判断题(包括对短文出处、写作意图的推断)，偶尔也有主旨大意题和词义猜测题。因此，应用文阅读重点要注意文中具体细节的把握与理解，弄清作者所要传达的实际信息及表达的具体内容。

三年新高考阅读理解体裁A篇均为应用文，题型以考查细节理解题为绝对多数，故应用文阅读理解题的解题重在细节的理解。
细节理解题所考查的内容主要有：直接信息题和间接信息题。直接信息题的答案几乎可以直接从原文中找出来，考生只要根据题干中的关键词与原文进行对照，就能找到答案；间接信息题也就是语义转化题(需要将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语义上的转换，两者存在表达上的差异，有时需要进行加工或整理后方能得出结论)。这类题目要求考生能理解原文中某个短语或句子的含义，从而找到与答案意思相同的词语和句子。这种题属于中档层次题，包括数字计算题、排列顺序题、图表图画题等。
正确选项的主要特征：
采用一定的命题手段把原文中的关键部分在正确选项中以另外一种方式进行表述。其中最主要的手段就是语义转化。
1.通过“替换手段”进行语义转化：把原文中的关键部分在正确选项中进行同义近义替换；
2.通过“转换手段”进行语义转化：把原文中关键词在正确选项中变换词性；在正确选项中改变原句的
语态；把原文中的意思在正确选项中反过来表达(正话反说或反话正说)；把原文中的复杂语言现象在
正确选项中进行简化；使用原文词的上下义范畴以转换表达的形式在正确选项中呈现。例如，原文
提到animal，选项可以用dog, lion, tiger转换；原文提到computer, spaceflight, invention，选项可以用
science转换。
应用文阅读理解题看似简单，其实不然。考生们应该知道，新高考I卷阅读理解A篇通常境况下是应用文体裁，且以考查细节理解题为主，但到了解题时有不少考生可能又会一头雾水，解题结果往往是一地鸡毛。究其造成如此后果的原因可能有以下几点：
1.陌生词汇：应用文中像人物、地点、场所、机构等专有名词比较多。除此之外，还有比较多的缩略词，阅读时会让考生眼花缭乱、草木皆兵，觉得到处皆有自己不认识的词；
2.长短句式：应用文中长句特别长，短句又特别短(祈使句、省略句)，阅读时长句会让考生丈二和尚摸不着头脑，短句又让考生弄不清深浅；
3.叠加信息：应用文中为了强调主要信息，作者利用附加成分(如：从句、介词短语、非谓语动词短语等)对主要信息进行叠加，让考生阅读时主次不分、顾此失彼；
4.真假选项：四个备选项的设置相互之间干扰性比较强，其中只有一个全真，其余三个要么是真假参半，要么是全部都假，让考生在解题作出选择时左右为难、真假难辨。
1.先题后文：先读题目，了解考点；带着考点用寻读、跳读的方法快速阅读，边读边圈，获取信息；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；
2.模糊生词：无关答题的陌生词，直接跳过，不去纠结；涉及答题的陌生词，则根据语境、构词法等猜词意；
3.抓住重点：阅读长句时，重在抓住主干信息，次要信息一带而过；
4.补全信息：对于影响理解的省略句，可根据语境，将其补全。
1.题干定位，题文比对
细节的直接辨认并不要求考生对语篇中所呈现的事实做出解释或判断，而是要求考生从语篇中直接获取信息。此类题几乎就是送分题，考生万万不可大意。解题时考生要认真阅读题干(题目所问)，锁定关键词，根据题干中的“关键词”定位到原文中“相关信息”点，仔细比对所给选项与原文中相关信息，与原文信息吻合的选项就是正确答案。
2.“定”章取义，做好匹配
细节的间接辨认不仅要求考生能从语篇中找到相关信息，还要求考生能将这些信息进行整合采用“变换”的方式进行理解。此类题稍微有些难度，可以采用“定‘章’取义”法来解题。所谓“定‘章’”是指在解题时，抓住题干中的关键词先定位到原文相关处或段落处(不止一处或可能不止一段)，锁定关键信息，这就是所谓的“‘定’章”。然后准确理解每个选项的意思后“定‘章’”处通过简单的推理或推算获取恰切的意思，这就是所谓的“取义”。接着做好比较，搞定答案(比较选项与原文信息，做好匹配搞定正确选项)。
注：高考阅读理解最为有效的解题方法就是定位/章+理解+匹配(适用于所有题型)。

If you want to do vocational training in healthcare, social services or technical professions, you can do school-based vocational training in Germany.
What is it
School-based vocational training does not take place partly in a company, but only at a vocational school or a vocational college. Here you are not an apprentice(学徒)in a company, but you learn practically full-time at the school desk.
What does it teach you
You will find a variety of professions that you can learn at a vocation al school or a vocational college. Offers are available for professions such as nurse, kindergarten teacher and medical-technical assistant. Many—but not all—of the more than 350 officially acknowledged vocational training programs in Germany are school-based.

School-based vocational training in Germany is usually full-time. The duration and the curricula are fixed for the individual professions, but there are different vacation periods from school to school, which interrupt the training periods.

In contrast to in-company training, you will not usually receive a monthly training allowance for school-based training; in many cases, you will even have to pay for this training. If you go to a state vocational school or a college, there are usually no fees. However, this may not be the case with privately run vocational colleges or schools.

(2024·河南新乡·统考一模)If you’re looking to lose weight or maintain healthy weight levels, it is important to include oatmeal(燕麦片)in your diet. It is highly nutritious, contains the best kind of complex carbs(碳水化合物), and is high in fiber. Let’s learn something about it.
Why is oatmeal effective for losing weight
●First and foremost, oatmeal is a perfect source of fiber, which is essential if you’re looking to lose weight. Simply put, including more fiber into your daily diet is the easiest way to drop those pounds. Why Fiber makes you feel full in addition to digesting slowly, and so you eat less.
●Another factor is that oatmeal has a zero sugar index, meaning your body won’t need to produce the extra insulin(胰岛素)that transfers sugar into stored fat. It goes without saying that if you have less stored fat to begin with, you are going to weigh less.
Which kind of oatmeal is best
If your goal is to lose weight, you should be aware that not all oatmeal is the same. The four most common types are steel-cut oatmeal, rolled oatmeal, quick oatmeal and instant oatmeal.
●Steel-cut oatmeal: It contains the most fiber and has the lowest blood sugar index. It is unprocessed and has a nuttier flavor than the other two whereas quick oatmeal has the mildest flavor.
●Rolled and quick oatmeal: They are nearly as good, so ultimately the decision is mostly about taste preference.
●Instant oatmeal: It contains added sugar and is highly processed, so you end up with none of the health benefits but with all of the things you shouldn’t be eating if you want to lose weight.
Although reducing your calorie intake and eating the right foods is important, any weight loss program should also include exercise so that you don’t lose muscle mass.
21.Who is the text mainly intended for
A. People wanting to be quickly recharged.
B. People longing to keep healthy weight levels.
C. People who are eager to prepare quick breakfast.
D. People who prefer to gain weight rather than lose weight.
22.Which oatmeal should be avoided for dieters according to the text
A. Steel-cut oatmeal. B. Rolled oatmeal. C. Instant oatmeal. D. Quick oatmeal.
23.What can we learn from the text
A. Oatmeal is a high-calorie food.
B. Doctors can’t help you make any change.
C. All kinds of oatmeal have à weight loss effect.
D. A proper diet and exercise will help you lose weight.

(2024·云南红河·统考一模)Four Best Hotels for Walking Holidays in the UK
As the autumn gets into full swing, what could be more glorious than walking Here the Good Hotel Guide shares 4 top UK hotels for walking and hiking.
Cedar Manor
