课时14 阅读理解体裁解读(5)
—应用文【体裁解读】
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?

Terrafugia Inc.said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight,bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The vehicle—named the Transition—has two seats,four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.The Transition,which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month,can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air.It flies using a 23gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air.On the ground,it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale,and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show.But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways.It's expected to cost $279,000.And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic.The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s,according to Robert Mann,an airline industry expert.But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality.The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly.The
13
Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft,which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes.Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition,a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.
7.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.The basic data of the Transition.
B.The advantages of flying cars.
C.The potential market for flying cars.
D.The designers of the Transition.
8.Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?
A.It causes traffic jams. B.It is difficult to operate.
C.It is very expensive. D.It burns too much fuel.
9.What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car?
A.Cautious. B.Favorable.
C.Ambiguous. D.Disapproving.
10.What is the best title for the text?
A.Flying Car at Auto Show
B.The Transition's First Flight
C.Pilots' Dream Coming True
D.Flying Car Closer to Reality
