It’s on offer right here! Come with us on a very special tour of the great southern continent Antarctica. It’s the only untouched wilderness left on our planet. For 10 months of the year, the continent is inaccessible by ships. Consequently, our tours are conducted in the brief period in late spring when the ice has melted and we can reach Antarctica. So why should I go there?    Antarctica may lack man-made attractions, but its natural beauty is breathtaking. You’ll want to tell your grandchildren about this trip in years to come. Ninety-eight percent of this continent is covered with ice, which contains 70 per cent of the world’s fresh water, although it receives very little rainfall. What kind of things could I see and do there?    Our tours are conducted in summer, but you have to remember that summer is six months later in the Southern Hemisphere. Apart from the Arctic region, Antarctica is one of the two areas on earth where you can enjoy 24 hours of sunlight. To get there, we have our own ship, which is equipped with a helicopter and a landing pad. Once there you’ll be able to observe penguins and birds, and even watch whales and seals in the ocean. Do your tours damage the environment?    No, not at all. We don’t disturb the wildlife, and we remove all the rubbish that we produce. We strictly follow the guidelines contained in the 1991 Antarctica Agreement, which bans oil exploration and protects wildlife. How long does a tour last?    That depends on which tour package you choose. You can visit the Antarctic region for as long as a month or, if you depart from Australia, you can see the Antarctic continent from the air in just one day. We will fly you over the continent so you can see it from the comfort of your seat on one of our aircraft. The exact route depends on the weather on the day of the . tour, but normally the flights pass over the Antarctic coastline and then head inland over vast landscapes formed by ice and dramatic mountain ranges. That sounds really interesting. How do I make a booking?    South Pole Tours are based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Call us on 25674874 today! 28．According to the guidelines, which action is proper to address environmental concerns? A．Visitors must take fresh water with them while visiting the continent. B．The continent must be closed to visitors in late spring every year. C．Polar tour must be conducted without disturbing its wildlife. D．Oil exploration is allowed only when all the rubbish is removed. 【答案】 28．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了独特的南极洲之旅，强调了南极洲作为地球上唯一未被破坏的荒野地区的美丽和独特性。文章还提到了该旅行不会对环境造成损害，并提供了不同行程长度的选择以及如何预订旅行的信息。 28．细节理解题。根据第四段“We don’t disturb the wildlife, and we remove all the rubbish that we produce.

For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. Goal setting When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success. Interpersonal skills At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence. Studying With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. Budgeting Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too. 11．Who is this passage most probably written for? A．College teachers. B．University graduates. C．High school teachers. D．Would-be college students. 12．What is the author’s suggestion for reaching a huge goal? A．Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones. B．Reward oneself for each goal one has set. C．Purchase a clear, updated roadmap. D．Push oneself to an upper level. 13．One of the suggested ways to enhance your interpersonal skills is to ________.

It’s important that you make your choice confidently and after some consideration. There’s Nothing Wrong With Being “Undecided”. Between 20% and 50% of college freshmen enter school without a declared major. Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in. Also, keep in mind that even if you do declare a major your freshman year, you can always change your mind. About one-third of first-time college students change their major within three years. Even more, over 60% of college graduates say they would go back and change their major if they could, primarily to pursue their passion areas and expand their job opportunities. Explore Your Passions and Abilities. Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an undeclared major to start, you can take time to really develop into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience. For example, when else might you be able to take a poetry course or an art history seminar? College is the perfect time to step out of your box and expand your horizons. As a student with an undeclared major, you’re uniquely positioned to do just that. Consider Employment Opportunities. While it’s important to choose a major that interests you, it’s also critical to choose a college major that will provide you with future employment opportunities. Statistically, the college majors that tend to have the most earning power are in STEM. These majors might include health sciences or computer engineering. Business majors can also expect a higher than average earning potential. That being said, employers frequently recognize that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication, written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities. The key is to pick a major that will be marketable for the career you’re interested in pursuing. Talk to an Academic Advisor. If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career counselors. Career development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. If you have an idea of what classes you’ve most enjoyed and what career paths are most appealing to you, working with one of these professionals might be the final push you need to pick a major. Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here. 46．What can we learn from the second paragraph? A．Most graduates went back to college and changed their majors for a brighter future. B．Most students frequently change their majors throughout their college years. C．It is all right to remain undecided on majors for only the freshman year. D．You don’t necessarily need to declare your majors upon entering college. 47．You are advised to take electives as described in the third paragraph because ______. A．the courses and seminars are popular with college students B．it helps you fully explore where your interest lies C．you can share your common interest with your fellow students D．your major lies in the areas, you can’t miss them 48．An example of having good soft skills is that ______. A．you express yourself well in a controversial business discussion B．you fix the technical problems of computers in your office easily C．you quickly figure out why the communication equipment doesn’t work D．you never delegate but shoulder more of the workload at work 49．Which of the following statements is Not True? A．Your major should be a reflection of your interests and career goals. B．Choose a major that will give you future employment opportunities. C．An academic advisor or career counselors will decide the major for you. D．You should choose your major carefully and confidently. 50．Which of the following is the passage probably taken from? A．A travel commentary. B．A website page. C．A university guide. D．A popular magazine. 【答案】46．D 47．B 48．A 49．C 50．B 【导语】本文一篇应用文。短文介绍了如何选择大学的专业。 46．推理判断题。根据第二段“Between 20% and 50% of college freshmen enter school without a declared major. Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in.( 20%到50%的大学新生入学时没有指定专业。请记住，在大学生涯的前几年保持“犹豫不决”或“未定”并没有什么错。你可以利用这段时间来决定你感兴趣的专业)”可知，你不必在进入大学时就决定你的专业。故选D项。 47．细节理解题。根据第三段“Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an undeclared major to start, you can take time to really develop into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience.( 留出一些时间来真正探索你的激情，评估你的独特能力。有了一个未公开的专业开始，你可以花时间去真正深入研究你感兴趣的东西。加入校园俱乐部，与志同道合的同学建立联系。参加一些你可能没有机会体验的选修课.)”可知，建议你参加选修课，因为它能帮助你充分探索自己的兴趣所在。故选B项。 48．推理判断题。根据第四段“That being said, employers frequently recognize that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication, written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities.(话虽如此，雇主们通常都认为文科专业的毕业生也有宝贵的软技能，包括良好的沟通能力、书面和口头表达能力以及领导能力.) ”可知，软技能是指良好的沟通能力、书面和口头表达以及领导能力。因此推知，你在有争议的商业讨论中很好地表达自己是一种良好的软技能。故选A项。 49．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career counselors. Career development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. (如果你需要一些指导，和学术顾问或职业顾问约个时间。职业发展顾问和学术顾问可以帮助你缩小选择范围.)”可知，学术顾问或职业顾问会会帮助我们缩小选择范围。故C选项“学术顾问或职业顾问会为你决定专业”错误。故选C项。 50．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here.( 现在还有些疑惑吗?你可以在这里提交问题.)”可推知，本文来自网页。故选B项。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 热点题型·阅读理解攻略 专题17 阅读理解之应用文 高考阅读理解选材来源广泛，多源于国外英文图书、报刊、网络媒体，语言地道纯正，具有鲜明的语言文化特点。体裁包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文等，涉及科普、社会、文化、地理、历史、政治、经济、人文、日常生活等领域。命题主要考查细节理解、主旨大意、词义猜测及推理判断。 A篇应用文，考查快速提取信息定位及匹配能力。难度：低 高考英语阅读理解题中，应用文具有以下一些特点： 1. 题材多样、注重实用 广告题材涉及美食之旅、职业从业者、自行车租赁、旅游观光等方面，题材十分丰富，而且与实际生活联系紧密。 2. 语言地道、简洁明了 ①简单句多，复杂句少。广告所用语言较简洁，多采用简单句，句型结构较为复杂的长、难句很少，因此读上去比较容易。 ②多采用短语、省略句。广告多采用非完整句，短语、省略很常见，更加有效地传达信息。例如： 3. 设题灵活、筛选信息。广告的设题方式主要有： 1)理解写作意图：这样的题目要求考生能理解作者的写作目的、主旨大意以及广告的体裁特点。 2)获取文中信息：有关广告的阅读试题大部分为这类题目，要求考生读懂文中的关键信息。 3)理解深层含义：这类题目要求考生理解某一句话的深层含义，也就是透过字里行间，读懂言外之意。 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？ 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“The poster introduces us to _______.” “The e-mail mainly tells us about _______.” 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“What is the author’s attitude towards...” “What does the author think of the...?” 题型01 线索句定位法（直接信息题） 【题型诠释】 所谓线索句，就是为我们提供正确答案的线索，对线索句的精准定位，是阅读高分的秘诀。 【典例】 （2023·天津·耀华中学校考二模）Community Development Projects Overseas The aim of Community Development Projects abroad in Temple Conservation, DIY and more is to improve poorer local communities.

It’s on offer right here! Come with us on a very special tour of the great southern continent Antarctica. It’s the only untouched wilderness left on our planet. For 10 months of the year, the continent is inaccessible by ships. Consequently, our tours are conducted in the brief period in late spring when the ice has melted and we can reach Antarctica. So why should I go there?    Antarctica may lack man-made attractions, but its natural beauty is breathtaking. You’ll want to tell your grandchildren about this trip in years to come. Ninety-eight percent of this continent is covered with ice, which contains 70 per cent of the world’s fresh water, although it receives very little rainfall. What kind of things could I see and do there?    Our tours are conducted in summer, but you have to remember that summer is six months later in the Southern Hemisphere. Apart from the Arctic region, Antarctica is one of the two areas on earth where you can enjoy 24 hours of sunlight. To get there, we have our own ship, which is equipped with a helicopter and a landing pad. Once there you’ll be able to observe penguins and birds, and even watch whales and seals in the ocean. Do your tours damage the environment?    No, not at all. We don’t disturb the wildlife, and we remove all the rubbish that we produce. We strictly follow the guidelines contained in the 1991 Antarctica Agreement, which bans oil exploration and protects wildlife. How long does a tour last?    That depends on which tour package you choose. You can visit the Antarctic region for as long as a month or, if you depart from Australia, you can see the Antarctic continent from the air in just one day. We will fly you over the continent so you can see it from the comfort of your seat on one of our aircraft. The exact route depends on the weather on the day of the . tour, but normally the flights pass over the Antarctic coastline and then head inland over vast landscapes formed by ice and dramatic mountain ranges. That sounds really interesting. How do I make a booking?    South Pole Tours are based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Call us on 25674874 today! 28．According to the guidelines, which action is proper to address environmental concerns? A．Visitors must take fresh water with them while visiting the continent. B．The continent must be closed to visitors in late spring every year. C．Polar tour must be conducted without disturbing its wildlife. D．Oil exploration is allowed only when all the rubbish is removed. 【高考真题】 （2023·天津·统考高考真题）STUDENT EMPLOYMENT ON CAMPUS All students may apply to work on campus.

If you forget to officially drop that course, a “F” (Fail) grade will be registered on your record at the end of the term.

For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. Goal setting When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success. Interpersonal skills At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence. Studying With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. Budgeting Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too. 11．Who is this passage most probably written for? A．College teachers. B．University graduates. C．High school teachers. D．Would-be college students. 12．What is the author’s suggestion for reaching a huge goal? A．Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones. B．Reward oneself for each goal one has set.

It’s important that you make your choice confidently and after some consideration. There’s Nothing Wrong With Being “Undecided”. Between 20% and 50% of college freshmen enter school without a declared major. Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in. Also, keep in mind that even if you do declare a major your freshman year, you can always change your mind. About one-third of first-time college students change their major within three years. Even more, over 60% of college graduates say they would go back and change their major if they could, primarily to pursue their passion areas and expand their job opportunities. Explore Your Passions and Abilities. Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an undeclared major to start, you can take time to really develop into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience. For example, when else might you be able to take a poetry course or an art history seminar? College is the perfect time to step out of your box and expand your horizons. As a student with an undeclared major, you’re uniquely positioned to do just that. Consider Employment Opportunities. While it’s important to choose a major that interests you, it’s also critical to choose a college major that will provide you with future employment opportunities. Statistically, the college majors that tend to have the most earning power are in STEM. These majors might include health sciences or computer engineering. Business majors can also expect a higher than average earning potential. That being said, employers frequently recognize that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication, written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities. The key is to pick a major that will be marketable for the career you’re interested in pursuing. Talk to an Academic Advisor. If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career counselors. Career development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. If you have an idea of what classes you’ve most enjoyed and what career paths are most appealing to you, working with one of these professionals might be the final push you need to pick a major.
