1.語言特點(diǎn)：語言簡練，就其用詞來看，文章里有大量生僻的專有名詞，

如地名、人名、機(jī)構(gòu)名、組織名、書名、作品名等。

2.結(jié)構(gòu)特點(diǎn)：應(yīng)用文主要用于傳遞信息，高考卷中所采用的應(yīng)用文通常有

兩種行文方式。一種是文中的幾則信息構(gòu)成平行并列結(jié)構(gòu)，即每一則信息中的

項(xiàng)目及其?小標(biāo)題呈現(xiàn)某一方面的信息。

讀速度，以節(jié)省時(shí)間。解題時(shí)，要做到：

(1)快速瀏覽知主題?？焖贋g覽加粗字體的標(biāo)題、小標(biāo)題或加下劃線的語句

等最重要的信息，以了解語篇提供的是哪方面的信息，并判定行文方式。

(2)速讀題干，跳讀定位信息。接下來閱讀每一道試題，根據(jù)題干定位信息

區(qū)間，并在文章中找出答案或相關(guān)信息。在定位和尋找信息區(qū)間的時(shí)候，可以

充分利用加粗字體的標(biāo)題?找答案，查找信息時(shí)不一定要讀完全文。

(3)細(xì)讀解題信息。最后，根據(jù)查找的相關(guān)信息，經(jīng)過比對選項(xiàng)選出正確答

案。
