第08期 二轮复习微专题 专题08 阅读理解之应用文讲练测 解析版 技能专区：洞悉高考命题规律，提供高效提分干货，培优补弱助手 阅读理解应用文满分作答解题技巧 一、材料特点 综观近几年的高考英语阅读理解题，其中应用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。 二、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。 三、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。 四、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。 五、解题策略 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.原文定位：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.淡化生词：遇到人名、地名、专有名词等；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。 五、实用妙招 1.阅读理解应用文细节理解题居多，落实“题文同序”和“同义替换”。 2.数据计算题注重“原文定位”“细节理解”，弄清来龙去脉再计算。 3.文章出处题注意利用首尾段相关关键词作答。同时关注选项的差异。 4.写作意图题要结合试题内容类型，尤其是首尾段做出合理推测判断。 5.写作对象题需要结合首尾段关键信息，对象可能是家长、游客等等。 6.满分策略：读题干→找原文→做标记→留痕迹→看选项→扣字眼。 阅读理解应用文满分作答真题演练 考什么——透视细节题的“命题密码” 1.常见设问方式 (1)特殊疑问句形式。以 when、where、what、who、how等疑问词引出问题。这是最常见的设问形式。 (2)以“According to...”开头的提问形式。 (3)就文中数字、排序等提问。 2.正确选项特征 原词复现 选项中的某个单词或短语与原文完全一致 同义替换 对原文中的关键词进行同义替换 语言简化 把原文中的复杂语言进行简化 正话反说 把原文中的意思反过来表达 3.干扰选项特征 扩缩范围 与文章细节部分吻合,部分相悖 无中生有 明显与文章内容不符或没有提及 偷梁换柱 符合常识,但不是文章内容 张冠李戴 是文章细节,但不符合题干要求或不是要点 正误参半 部分正确,部分错误 4.热点考向 5.解题步骤 备考提示:细节理解题的本质是一场信息匹配的游戏。你的任务不是创作,而是发现。通过“三步锁定法”的刻意练习,你会发现,无论文章多长、主题多深,解开细节题的钥匙,永远藏在原文的字里行间。 怎么考——铸造细节题的“四大破题利器” 面对不同类型的细节题,我们要告别“通读全文再做题”的低效模式,掌握以下四大核心考向,从而实现从“大海捞针”到“GPS制导”的飞跃。 考向1　直接信息题——“定—寻—比”法 此为细节题的基石,答案通常是原文信息的直接呈现或简单复述。掌握此法,即可秒杀送分题。 [典例]　(2025·全国一卷阅读A) 22.Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily? A.Planes.B.Trucks.C.Trains.D.Ships.自主解答　C [导引] Step 1:定——关键词定位 题干关键词为:go green和comparatively easily。 Step 2:寻——文中寻句 根据题干关键词定位到TRAINS—Electricity部分的关键句:Some trains are...others can be made electric in pretty simple ways。 Step 3:比——选项比对 比对答案:“pretty simple ways”直接对应题干中的“comparatively easily”,直接锁定选项。 [图解] 考向2　间接信息题——同义转换法 同义转换是命题人最常用的“伪装术”。答案是原文信息的“改写”或“换一种说法”,考查考生识别“潜台词”的能力。 [典例]　(2025·全国一卷阅读B) But things were different for their first essay,which was about the question:“Why is writing important?”Most of the essays filled less than one page,and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement.I was shocked.Then I realized that the problem was the question itself.They could have written pages on the necessity of computers,but writing,in and of itself,simply didn’t strike them as important.This would have to change. 25.Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay? A.They were not given enough time. B.They had a very limited vocabulary. C.They misunderstood the question. D.They had little interest in the topic. 自主解答　D [导引] Step 1:定位信息区间 用关键词perform poorly和first essay定位到第二段。 Step 2:解码原文内涵 由原文关键句“They could have...simply didn’t strike them as important.”可知,学生认为写作本身不重要,即缺乏写作兴趣导致表现不佳。 Step 3:匹配同义改写 “They had little interest in the topic.”与原文关键句完美匹配。 [图解] 考向3　数字计算题——“定—筛—算”法 此类题目看似简单,实则考验信息筛选和简单运算的准确性。陷阱往往在于信息干扰或信息整合。 [典例]　(2025·全国一卷阅读A) Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放).As the world races to decarbonize everything,it faces particular problems with transportation—which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport. 21.What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 A.11.6%.B.45.1%.C.74.5%.D.86.1%. 自主解答　C [导引] Step 1:定——定位数字 定位到图表中与road vehicles相关的部分。找到两个数字:ROAD (PASSENGER) 45.1%和ROAD (GOODS) 29.4%。 Step 2:筛——筛选信息 题干问的是road vehicles的总和,因此客运(PASSENGER)和货运(GOODS)都需要计算在内。 Step 3:算——准确计算/判断 进行加法运算:45.1%+29.4%=74.5%。将计算结果与选项比对,锁定正确选项。 [图解] 考向4　综合信息题——归纳概括法 当答案无法从单一“关键句”获得时,考生需要化身侦探,将散落在不同位置的线索拼合成完整的证据链。 [典例]　(2025·全国二卷阅读B) “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho.“People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do,but that’s not really what it is here.”... Still,in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that,there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,”Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.” 25.What is a characteristic of Ho’s job? A.Prioritizing academics. B.Encouraging innovation. C.Treating various diseases. D.Playing multiple roles. 自主解答　D [导引] Step 1:多点定位 题干问Ho’s job特点。扫描全文找到所有描述她工作句子。 Step 2:整合信息 信息1:I don’t like saying that...what it is here. 信息2:...academics don’t come first.Physical health and mental health are the priority. 信息3:I’m a coach...be a hospital teacher. Step 3:提炼共性 将这些线索整合起来,发现Ho的工作远不止“教学”,她还需要扮演多种角色。 [图解] 模拟专区：练技能，补漏洞；练速度，提效能；提分数，强信心！ 01（2026·湖北襄阳·一模）Looking for the UK’s top teacher of history Do you know a teacher who makes history come alive — who can turn dusty dates into living stories, and bring kings, queens and battles vividly to life in the classroom?

Stories of Ecology São Paulo Museum of Art, Brazil March 8 — April 1 This exhibition aims to explore the concept of ecology through works not just of artists, but of activists and whole social movements. Of the 116 images on display, mostly by artists from the “global south”, emphasis is on the nature-human bond, indicating the necessity of collaborative responses from all corners of the planet to address climate change. Matisse’s Jazz: Rhythms in Color The Art Institute of Chicago, USA March 29 — June 28 Henri Matisse, primarily a celebrated painter worldwide, turned to paper cutting in his old age as his medium after a surgery left him unable to pick up a brush. Twenty different cut-paper models were formed, all drawn from his memories, folktales and circuses. They were reproduced in 1947 in stencil (模版) to form a book in loose leaves, Jazz, accompanied by explanatory notes from the artist himself. Now, it is shown in its entirety for the very first time since it was acquired by the museum back in 1948. Chinese Women’s Fashion Los Angeles County Museum of Art, USA June 14 — September 25 Visit LACMA for a beautifully designed journey through Chinese women’s fashion.

The Undercover Economist A favourite of the 10Eighty team is Tim Harford’s The Undercover Economist — if you’ve ever wondered why the gap between the rich and the poor is so great, then this book is for you. Relatable and engaging, Harford highlights the relevance of economics to everyday life, from buying a coffee to sitting in a traffic jam. He exposes how coffee shops, supermarkets and airlines convince us to part with our money, shedding light on how to apply economic principles to everyday life. Slow Productivity 10Eighty’s researcher also recommends Slow Productivity by Cal Newport for the summer reading list. In the modern workplace workers feel pushed to the edge by continual meetings, overflowing inboxes, non-stop busywork, and office rules that laugh at autonomy and agency. Newport offers alternative strategies for knowledge workers to do the best work of their lives by taking a slower approach to work that matters. Tom Sawyer Few books are better at sparking eagerness to act than Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer. Forced to paint a fence white rather than play with his friends, naughty Tom finds a way to make it seem so appealing that the local kids want to do it — and end up paying Tom for the privilege. Business-school professors call it “psychic rewards”. What is your favorite from this summer reading list? Why not share your ideas with us below? 1．How does Tim Harford make economics accessible in The Undercover Economist? A．By analyzing economic theories in depth. B．By revealing how businesses fuel spending. C．By explaining the cause of the wealth gap. D．By connecting economic concepts to daily life. 2．What does Cal Newport suggest knowledge workers do? A．Follow office rules strictly. B．Accelerate work pace. C．Slow down to tackle key tasks. D．Schedule frequent meetings. 3．According to the passage, why is Tom Sawyer recommended for summer reading? A．It stimulates motivation effectively. B．It describes the life of a clever boy. C．It tells an exciting kids’ adventure tale. D．It shows how to deal with naughty kids. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了10Eighty人力资源咨询公司推荐的CEO夏日阅读书单及各书亮点。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Relatable and engaging, Harford highlights the relevance of economics to everyday life, from buying a coffee to sitting in a traffic jam.

Here are three of the best places to visit. Norwich, Norfolk With 31 surviving medieval churches and streets lined with fantastic buildings dating back to the 12th century, Norwich is an easily overlooked historical treasure. Its pubs are among the best in England, with the delightful Adam and Eve dating back to 1249. With an annual arts festival taking place every May, its modern cultural offering makes it far more than a museum piece. The Somerset Levels The atmospheric Somerset Levels are unlike anywhere else in the UK.Their flatlands and disused canals offer foggy views of hills, while their watery habitat makes them a great place for birds, with Ham Wall Nature Reserve serving as a crucial habitat. Hadrian’s Wall, Northumberland The one-time northern frontier of the Roman Empire, Hadrian’s Wall is arguably the greatest historical monument (历史遗迹) in a country blessed with castles, churches and spectacular ruins. Hadrian’s Wall stretches from one side of England to the other. Its central section is the most attractive, with the wall rising and falling across steep hills. Those with more time can follow the 135-kilometer national trail, taking in the wall from Newcastle to the Solway Firth. 1. What makes Norwich a living cultural destination? A.

D．Prices increase because of high demand. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是塞纳河游船之旅的相关信息。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Its history is inseparable from that of the city, and from its banks you can admire some of the most symbolic monuments, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Musée d’Orsay and the Île de la Cité.(它的历史与这座城市的历史密不可分，站在河畔，你可以欣赏到一些最具象征意义的建筑，比如埃菲尔铁塔、奥赛博物馆和西岱岛。)”可知，塞纳河在巴黎具有特别重要的意义是因为它反映了这座城市的历史特征。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Aboard a modern and comfortable boat, you will enjoy a full audio guide that tells the history and curiosities of each place.(乘坐一艘现代化且舒适的游船，您将享受到配有语音解说的全程导览服务，该服务会为您介绍每个地方的历史和趣闻。)”可知，游船之旅的一个主要特色是它在船上提供历史讲解。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“On certain dates, due to high demand, availability is confirmed within 72 hours.(在某些日期，由于需求旺盛，可用性会在72小时内得到确认。)”可知，在繁忙时段，预订需要在获得批准前进行确认。故选B。 试卷第2页，共23页 试卷第1页，共23页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 第08期 二轮复习微专题 专题08 阅读理解之应用文讲练测 解析版 技能专区：洞悉高考命题规律，提供高效提分干货，培优补弱助手 阅读理解应用文满分作答解题技巧 一、材料特点 综观近几年的高考英语阅读理解题，其中应用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。 二、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。 三、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。 四、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。 五、解题策略 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.原文定位：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.淡化生词：遇到人名、地名、专有名词等；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。 五、实用妙招 1.阅读理解应用文细节理解题居多，落实“题文同序”和“同义替换”。 2.数据计算题注重“原文定位”“细节理解”，弄清来龙去脉再计算。 3.文章出处题注意利用首尾段相关关键词作答。同时关注选项的差异。 4.写作意图题要结合试题内容类型，尤其是首尾段做出合理推测判断。 5.写作对象题需要结合首尾段关键信息，对象可能是家长、游客等等。 6.满分策略：读题干→找原文→做标记→留痕迹→看选项→扣字眼。 阅读理解应用文满分作答真题演练 考什么——透视细节题的“命题密码” 1.常见设问方式 (1)特殊疑问句形式。以 when、where、what、who、how等疑问词引出问题。这是最常见的设问形式。 (2)以“According to...”开头的提问形式。 (3)就文中数字、排序等提问。 2.正确选项特征 原词复现 选项中的某个单词或短语与原文完全一致 同义替换 对原文中的关键词进行同义替换 语言简化 把原文中的复杂语言进行简化 正话反说 把原文中的意思反过来表达 3.干扰选项特征 扩缩范围 与文章细节部分吻合,部分相悖 无中生有 明显与文章内容不符或没有提及 偷梁换柱 符合常识,但不是文章内容 张冠李戴 是文章细节,但不符合题干要求或不是要点 正误参半 部分正确,部分错误 4.热点考向 5.解题步骤 备考提示:细节理解题的本质是一场信息匹配的游戏。你的任务不是创作,而是发现。通过“三步锁定法”的刻意练习,你会发现,无论文章多长、主题多深,解开细节题的钥匙,永远藏在原文的字里行间。 怎么考——铸造细节题的“四大破题利器” 面对不同类型的细节题,我们要告别“通读全文再做题”的低效模式,掌握以下四大核心考向,从而实现从“大海捞针”到“GPS制导”的飞跃。 考向1　直接信息题——“定—寻—比”法 此为细节题的基石,答案通常是原文信息的直接呈现或简单复述。掌握此法,即可秒杀送分题。 [典例]　(2025·全国一卷阅读A) 22.Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily? A.Planes.B.Trucks.C.Trains.D.Ships.自主解答　C [导引] Step 1:定——关键词定位 题干关键词为:go green和comparatively easily。 Step 2:寻——文中寻句 根据题干关键词定位到TRAINS—Electricity部分的关键句:Some trains are...others can be made electric in pretty simple ways。 Step 3:比——选项比对 比对答案:“pretty simple ways”直接对应题干中的“comparatively easily”,直接锁定选项。 [图解] 考向2　间接信息题——同义转换法 同义转换是命题人最常用的“伪装术”。答案是原文信息的“改写”或“换一种说法”,考查考生识别“潜台词”的能力。 [典例]　(2025·全国一卷阅读B) But things were different for their first essay,which was about the question:“Why is writing important?”Most of the essays filled less than one page,and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement.I was shocked.Then I realized that the problem was the question itself.They could have written pages on the necessity of computers,but writing,in and of itself,simply didn’t strike them as important.This would have to change. 25.Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay? A.They were not given enough time. B.They had a very limited vocabulary. C.They misunderstood the question. D.They had little interest in the topic. 自主解答　D [导引] Step 1:定位信息区间 用关键词perform poorly和first essay定位到第二段。 Step 2:解码原文内涵 由原文关键句“They could have...simply didn’t strike them as important.”可知,学生认为写作本身不重要,即缺乏写作兴趣导致表现不佳。 Step 3:匹配同义改写 “They had little interest in the topic.”与原文关键句完美匹配。 [图解] 考向3　数字计算题——“定—筛—算”法 此类题目看似简单,实则考验信息筛选和简单运算的准确性。陷阱往往在于信息干扰或信息整合。 [典例]　(2025·全国一卷阅读A) Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放).As the world races to decarbonize everything,it faces particular problems with transportation—which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport. 21.What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 A.11.6%.B.45.1%.C.74.5%.D.86.1%. 自主解答　C [导引] Step 1:定——定位数字 定位到图表中与road vehicles相关的部分。找到两个数字:ROAD (PASSENGER) 45.1%和ROAD (GOODS) 29.4%。 Step 2:筛——筛选信息 题干问的是road vehicles的总和,因此客运(PASSENGER)和货运(GOODS)都需要计算在内。 Step 3:算——准确计算/判断 进行加法运算:45.1%+29.4%=74.5%。将计算结果与选项比对,锁定正确选项。 [图解] 考向4　综合信息题——归纳概括法 当答案无法从单一“关键句”获得时,考生需要化身侦探,将散落在不同位置的线索拼合成完整的证据链。 [典例]　(2025·全国二卷阅读B) “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho.“People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do,but that’s not really what it is here.”... Still,in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that,there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,”Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.” 25.What is a characteristic of Ho’s job? A.Prioritizing academics. B.Encouraging innovation. C.Treating various diseases. D.Playing multiple roles. 自主解答　D [导引] Step 1:多点定位 题干问Ho’s job特点。扫描全文找到所有描述她工作句子。 Step 2:整合信息 信息1:I don’t like saying that...what it is here. 信息2:...academics don’t come first.Physical health and mental health are the priority. 信息3:I’m a coach...be a hospital teacher. Step 3:提炼共性 将这些线索整合起来,发现Ho的工作远不止“教学”,她还需要扮演多种角色。 [图解] 模拟专区：练技能，补漏洞；练速度，提效能；提分数，强信心！ 01（2026·湖北襄阳·一模）Looking for the UK’s top teacher of history Do you know a teacher who makes history come alive — who can turn dusty dates into living stories, and bring kings, queens and battles vividly to life in the classroom?

The Undercover Economist A favourite of the 10Eighty team is Tim Harford’s The Undercover Economist — if you’ve ever wondered why the gap between the rich and the poor is so great, then this book is for you. Relatable and engaging, Harford highlights the relevance of economics to everyday life, from buying a coffee to sitting in a traffic jam. He exposes how coffee shops, supermarkets and airlines convince us to part with our money, shedding light on how to apply economic principles to everyday life. Slow Productivity 10Eighty’s researcher also recommends Slow Productivity by Cal Newport for the summer reading list. In the modern workplace workers feel pushed to the edge by continual meetings, overflowing inboxes, non-stop busywork, and office rules that laugh at autonomy and agency. Newport offers alternative strategies for knowledge workers to do the best work of their lives by taking a slower approach to work that matters. Tom Sawyer Few books are better at sparking eagerness to act than Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer. Forced to paint a fence white rather than play with his friends, naughty Tom finds a way to make it seem so appealing that the local kids want to do it — and end up paying Tom for the privilege. Business-school professors call it “psychic rewards”. What is your favorite from this summer reading list? Why not share your ideas with us below? 1．How does Tim Harford make economics accessible in The Undercover Economist? A．By analyzing economic theories in depth. B．By revealing how businesses fuel spending. C．By explaining the cause of the wealth gap. D．By connecting economic concepts to daily life. 2．What does Cal Newport suggest knowledge workers do? A．Follow office rules strictly. B．Accelerate work pace. C．Slow down to tackle key tasks. D．Schedule frequent meetings. 3．According to the passage, why is Tom Sawyer recommended for summer reading? A．It stimulates motivation effectively. B．It describes the life of a clever boy. C．It tells an exciting kids’ adventure tale.
