应用文
高考英语阅读理解应用文的文体特色、命题特点、素材和解答方法。
高考英语阅读理解应用文的文体特色：
英语应用文指在日常工作和生活中使用的文体，一般可分为两大类：一类是叙述性应用文，例如书信、日记、便条、报告、请帖等；另一类是说明性应用文，包括广告、启事、海报、守则、公告、公约、个人简历、备忘录、摘要等。近年普通高考英语试题主要涉及宣传广告、公告类应用文，当然偶尔也出现了书信类文章；其文章呈现形式多样，除了文字外还有图表、图片、表格、地址、网址等。
高考英语阅读理解应用文的命题特点：
1.应用文类型文章，语言简练，一般来说和所述问题无关的文字不会出现，例如很多文章没有标题，许多文章甚至通篇都没有一句完整的句子，而是用词、数字、缩写、短语等来替代。
2.就其用词来看，文章中充斥着大量冗长而生僻的专有名词，例如人名、地名、机构名、组织名、书籍名、作品名等等，而且均没有汉语注释。
3.应用文的行文方式：每种文体都有其固定的格式。叙述性应用文采用一般记叙文的写作方法，无特别之处；说明性应用文的行文是排列式—--即以小标题为单位逐一下行排列。
4.高考英语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，也兼有询问短文出处和写作意图的题目。例如：Where can you most probably find this article/passage? What is the purpose of this passage？
高中英语新课程标准也提出了“着重提高学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的能力”的要求。根据该要求及高考英语的发展趋势可以看出，高考英语试卷阅读理解部分越来越凸现阅读能力必须涉及“解决现实生活问题”这个十分重要的因素，强调实用性，与时俱进。据此推出了多种应用文体的语篇；相关试题设问方式也更趋活泼、灵活多样、贴近生活。
高考英语应用文素材：全部选自真实生活、充满时代气息并具有鲜明的语言特色。它们种类繁多、涵盖面广，包括广告、书信、海报、指南、产品介绍、启示、须知、招生招聘、书评、图示及其说明等。这些实用型文章提高了高考英语测试的真实性，重点考查考生获取、分辨、整合、加工和表述信息的能力，这也充分地体现了英语课程标准“学以致用”的思想。
高考英语阅读理解应用文的解答方法：
高考英语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，也兼有询问出处和写作意图的题目。
在解答事实细节题时，我们首先就要在试题中寻找关键的线索词，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。其次要忠实于原文。该类题源于短文，所以在解题时要紧扣原文，在短文中找到相应出处，要以此为依据，而不是想当然地仅凭自己已有的知识进行答题。此外，还应注意句子间的逻辑关系（如因果、方位、次序、时间先后、转折/相对和递进关系）和认真识别指代词语（如代词和替代词：one, the one, those, that, it, they等）。　　
在解答询问出处和写作意图的题目时，就要能够理解文章的主旨大意（中心思想）：因为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。要掌握短文主旨，可以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、段首和段尾或隐含在段落中。解答主旨大意的试题时常采用快速浏览法，只要先浏览文章的标题，首、尾段或每段的首、尾句，再重点寻找主题线索和主题信息即可。当然还要善于抓住文章的中心思想，把握住作者的观点和写作意图。

Yes! Everybody benefits! Teen volunteers will receive *6 hours* of community service credit, good towards honor society, high school graduation and college application requirements. Adult volunteers will be “thanked” with a light breakfast, a gift certificate for their troubles, and the satisfaction of helping our city’s youth contribute to their community. In addition, all teen and adult volunteers will receive a cool TEENSGIVING in SPRING 2010 T-shirt.
