应用文是高考英语阅读理解的常见文体。高考试卷的应用文阅读材料大多来自真实的生活，充满浓郁的时代气息，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、启事、招聘、书评等。
【考情分析】
1. 考查情况
一般把应用文放在阅读理解的A篇。应用文阅读材料题材丰富多样，标题、小标题以及重要的信息通常会以加粗字体或标下划线的形式突出呈现，文章所提供的信息丰富，语言简明扼要，难度不大。

一、文体特点与阅读策略
1. 语言与结构特点
应用文语言简练，就其用词来看，文章里有大量生僻的专有名词，如地名、人名、机构名、组织名、书名、作品名等。
应用文主要用于传递信息，高考卷中所采用的应用文通常有两种行文方式。一种是文中的几则信息构成平行并列结构，即每一则信息中的项目及其位置有一致性和对应性，几则信息前有时会用一个段落对文章信息作整体上的说明；另一种是针对某一主题分项，分条目地呈现信息，每个段落围绕小标题呈现某一方面的信息。
2. 答题误区
应用文阅读理解试题难度不大，故答题时要谨防过于草率。出错的原因有可能是看信息时看错位，也有可能是为了追求速度只凭大致印象答题。因此，做题时一定要看准信息并在文章中找出相关信息以确保万无一失。另外，不要一字不落地阅读全文，这样会浪费很多时间，而是应该有选择性地快速筛选和获取答题所需要的信息。
3. 阅读策略
应用文阅读理解总体上要做到稳、准、快，在确保准确率的基础上提高阅读速度，以

Patti Page, the topselling female artist of the 1950s with more than
100 million records sold, died on January 2nd, 2013, when she was 85.
She was one of the most beloved singers of the postwar era. Take her

Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally
dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department
at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15minute
programme.
At the age of 20, Page was discovered by bigband leader Jack Rael,
who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948, she signed her first
recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her

I still remember—my hands and my fingers still remember—what used
to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays. The
trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves
would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.
“Get that all swept up！” the headmaster would tell us. “I want
the whole place cleaned up, at once！” There was enough work there, to
last over a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were
provided were our hands, our fingers, our nails. “Now see that it's done
properly, and be quick about it，” the headmaster would say to the older
pupils, “or you'll have to answer for it！”

about to cut and gather in crops. If the work was not going as quickly

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and
beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting
everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program
allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting
reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.
The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of
Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits,
study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but
the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
