Is it possible that the sinking of the Titanic was caused by a ghost? A lot of the story below is true… but did it really happen quite like this?
Our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the North Atlantic, but rather thousands of miles away in Egypt. It is here, perhaps, that we can find the start of the mystery of the Titanic, in the year 1910, in the great city of Cairo. One day, a famous professor of Egyptian history called Douglas Murray was staying in Cairo, when he was contacted by an American adventurer.
The American had something unusual to offer Murray, something that was certain to thrill him: a beautiful ancient Egyptian mummy case, containing the mummy of an Egyptian queen. It was over 3000 years old, but in beautiful condition ------ gold, with bright paintings on it. Murray was delighted with both the object and the asking-price. He gave the man a cheque immediately.
The cheque was never cashed. That evening the American adventurer died. For his part, Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain. However, it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: On the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered, there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb. Murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later, when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand, shattering his arm. The arm had to be cut off.
After the accident, Murray decided to return to his homeland. On the return journey, two of his companions died mysteriously, and
two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away. The now-terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London. A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like it, so he gave it to her. Shortly afterwards, Jones’ mother died, and she herself caught a strange disease. She tried returning the mummy, but naturally Murray refused it. In the end, it was presented to the British Museum.
Even in the museum, the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events. A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit; and a manager also died for no apparent reason. In the end, the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too. They sold it to a collector in New York.
At the start of April 1912, arrangements for the transfer were complete, and the mummy began the journey to its new home. But the New Yorker never received the mummy or its case. For when the Titanic sank, one of the objects in its strong room was the mummy case. Or so they say.
24. In Paragraph 5, t
he underlined word “cursed” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. forgotten B. uncommon C. unlucky D. expensive
25. In what order did the following events occur?
a. The case was given to the British Museum.

A. f, c, b, a, e, d B. c, f, b, a, e, d C. d, f, b, c, a, e D. f, a, c, b, e, d
26. According to the passage, where is the Egyptian mummy now?
A. At the British Museum B. In New York
C. In Egypt 
D. Under the sea
27. What’s the main purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce an important historical event to readers.

做好细节理解题的几点建议：
细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
①略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；
②按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实；
③将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如第25小题根据文章内容可知，美国人探险家把木乃伊卖给了Murray；之前探险者在坟墓中看到了墙上的警告；接下来Murray的同伴们相继死去与失踪；Murray回到英国后将木乃伊卖给了Janet Jones，但是之后Janet Jones得了一种奇怪的疾病，她想归还给Murray，却遭到了拒绝，所以木乃伊被送到了大英博物馆；但是不幸的事情又发生了，给它拍照的摄影师也死了；最后木乃伊被卖给了纽约的一位收藏家，可是对方并没有得到它，因此石沉大海。可知答案选A.26小题根据文章内容可知，最后一次转卖是英国博物馆卖给纽约博物馆，但是对方没有得到
，因此石沉大海，故选D.
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different times has not been tested on humans
up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.
28. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.
A. started sleep more easily B. were less active
C. were more anxious D. woke up later
29. Which of the following is TRUE of melatonin according to the text?
A. It’s used in sleeping drugs B. It exists in milk in great amount
C. It can make people more energetic D. It’s been tested on mice for ten years
30. What can be a suitable title for t
he text?
A. Milk Drinking and Health B. Fat, Sugar and Health
C. An Experiment on Mice D. Night Milk and Sleep
31. How does the author support the theme of the text?
A. By giving examples. B. By providing research results.
C. By explaining statistical data. D. By stating arguments

主旨大意题的解题思路与应试技巧
做这类题时常用略读法。快速阅读文章找出各个段落的主题句。把各个段落的主题句联系起来着眼于全文结构安排，了解文章的重心，就能概括出文章的中心。文章的标题是中心思想最精炼的表达形式，选择的标题意义范围要能涵盖全文，不能太大也不能太小。命题者在出这类题时，常常利用生活常识编造干扰项，把文中的细节当主旨，利用局部信息编造干扰项，编制超出文章范围的标题或不能涵盖文章中心意义的标题来考查考生的理解程度，考生要特别留意。
概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词。) 。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。
Stockholm’s street magazine sellers no longer only take cash --- they now take cards too.
“More and more sellers were telling us that people wanted our magazine but weren’t carrying cash,” says Pia Stolt, the magazine’s publisher. “So with the help of a local computer company, we came up with a way to accept payment electronically.
“We didn’t know how it would turn out, or whether people would be unwilling to give the credit card information to a stranger on the street,” says Stolt, “but the results have been great---sales are up 59%.” “Swedes are pretty trusting and we’re used to taking up new technology so this was the perfect solution,” adds Stolt. “The cashless society campaign we’re seeing in Sweden is definitely a good move as far as we are concerned---it’s unstoppable.”
Banks and stores invested heavily in card payment systems in the 1990s and now local consumers are using them in huge numbers. Today, four out of five purchases are made electronically in Sweden and going totally cash-free is the next step.
Sweden’s public transport system has already been cashless for several years, after local public transport workers complained that handling cash had become dangerous. “Bus drivers were getting attacked for their money so Sweden banned cash on public transport,” says Arn Arvidsson, the president of Cashless, an organization supporting the move to a cash-free society. “There were also a number of bank robberies, so four years ago, the banks began to move away from cash. Now, all of Sweden’s big banks operate cash free wherever possible, and the number of bank robberies is at a 30-year low.”
There is, however, concern about how well Sweden’s 1.8 million pensioners---out of a total population of 10 million---will adapt. “A lot of elderly people feel excluded,” says Johanna Hallen of the Swedish National Pensioners’ Organization. “Only 50% of older people use cash cards regularly and 7% never use cash cards. So we want the government to take things slowly.”
The digital payment revolution is also a challenge for tourists, who need pre-paid tickets or a Swedish mobile to catch a bus in the capital. “There’s a worry about crime and theft as well,” says Arvidsson. “Figures show that computer-related credit card crime has almost doubled in the last decade.”
32. The demand for a cashless public transport system first came from _______.
A. transport companies to reduce their costs
B. banks so they could increase their profits
C. transport workers to protect their safety
D. the government to improve transport times
33. Which of the following about Sweden is true according to the passage?
A. No new banknotes will be produced in the future
B. There has been a huge reduction in bank robberies.
C. Local people don’t feel comfortable carrying cash.
D. It is the first country to have cash-free buses.
34. Why does Johanna Hallen think the cashless society should be introduced slowly?
A. She worries that computer-related crime will increase.
B. She is concerned about the inconvenience to foreign travellers.
C. She believes that it’s not easy for older people to get used to it.
D. She feels it is everyone’s right to be able to use cash if they wish.
35. What information is most likely to follow the last paragraph?
A. Some possible solutions to the problems of a cashless society.
B. The reasons for the change in customers’ attitudes to cards.
C. Some benefits a cashless society will bring to banks
D. The difficulties people face in a cashless society.

推理判断题的解题方法 ：
推理判断题不仅要求考生读懂文章中的每个句子的意思还要推理它们之间的关系，结合自己的生活常识和经验，再通过逻辑推理和判断，理解文章的言外之意，从而揭示文章的深层涵义。如文中第34小题根据第八段中“A lot of elderly people feel excluded，”says Johanna Hållén of the Swedish National Pensioners' Organization.“Only 50％of older people use cash cards regularly and 7％never use cash cards.So we want the government to take things slowly.”可知，许多老年人对电子支付的相关信息还不清楚或者一无所知，因此Johanna Hållén建议电子支付方式应该慢慢推进，慢慢普及，故选C.
任何一篇文章都有其特定的写作目的，读者应当知道如何去做或按照某种方式传递思考问题。第35小题根据文章最后一段讲的是电子支付所产生的问题，由此可知接下来就会讲述如何解决这些问题或提出一些有效地办法回避这些问题，故选A.
推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到，因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，即：已知部分－推论的前提，从中推测出未知部分－推理的结论，切忌妄加评论，把自己的观点当成作者的观点。33小题根据第七段中的“There were also a number of bank robberies，so four years ago，the banks began to move away from cash. Now，all of Sweden's big banks operate cash free wherever possible，and the numberof bank robberies is at a 30-year low.”可知与之前相比，现在的银行抢劫案少了许多，故选B.
Lost in the Post
How would you feel if the letter you penned carefully and posted to your favorite star ended up in the recycling bin? That's where unopened fan mail sent to singer Taylor Swift was found in Nashville. ___36___
Swift’s management said it was an accident, but dealing with piles of letters is a burden for most public figures. According to the BBC reporter Jon Kelly, at the height of his fame, Johnny Depp was said to receive up to 10,000 letters a week. ___37___
The dawn of the digital age in which public figures with a Twitter account can be messaged directly has made the process easier. The White House says it deals with 20,000 messages addressed to President Barack Obama each day.
Some celebrities don’t want letters. In 2008, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said that he would throw them out because he was too busy. ___38___ Robert Pattinson, star of the Twilight films, claims that he reads tonnes and tonnes of letters from fans, which takes up almost all his free time.
Many artists, however, outsource(外包) the task of opening, reading and replying. Sylvia “Spanky” Taylor, 58, has run a service in California that does just that since 1987. ___39___ Most letters are simply declarations of affection and admiration, she says. A few ask for money. A small number contain threats which require her to contact the celebrity’s security team and law enforcement.
The biggest problem for Taylor is working out how to deal with the correspondence(通信). Presents such as soft toys are sent to local hospitals, and most of the letters just get shredded and recycled.
___40___ For some, this is enough, according to Lynn Zubernis, an expert at West Chester University. She says that the relationship between fan and celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former but it comes from a deeply-rooted human need for community.
A. This incident has caused a wide public concern about how the public figures deal with the letters or mails from the fans.
B. She and her staff deal with up to 20,000 items of mail a month on behalf of 26 celebrities
C. Accordingly, the correspondence problem has been difficult for the computer to automate.
D. Typically, correspondence is acknowledged by a photo with a printed “signature”.
E. How could he have enough time to skim through these letters one by one?
F. In fact, there is no alternative to deal with the problem.
G. Others do attempt to get through it themselves.

关于七选五的做题步骤：
1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。
2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨
3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。
4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。
在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。
5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。
Many sports players have not only accomplished incredible acts of athleticism(运动能力), but also unbelievable acts of sportsmanship. There were some 41 examples in 2014, and I have 42 two that inspired me.
One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics. Russian Anton Gafarov was hobbling(蹒跚而行) along the track, far 43 the rest of the skiers. One of his skis(滑雪板) was broken. He had tried to 44 with the damaged equipment. Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had an extra. Wadsworth didn’t want Gafarov to finish slowly, hobbling across the line. He wanted him to finish with 45. The Canadian skiers were already out of the race, giving Wadsworth two 46 : Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski, 47 give him the spare one. Wadsworth gave him the extra ski, 48 Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals. 49 , he came in sixth in the semi-finals. 50 was Wadsworth who helped Gafarov complete his Olympic dream.
The other example took place in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia. The game had just ended. Brazil had won, 2-1. Brazil was 51 on the sidelines, cheering and having a good time. Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream tore apart 52 scoring a record-breaking six goals in the competition. Brazil defender David Luiz walked over to him, pointed at him, and 53 the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his 54 for a game well played and 55 him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriquez 56 .
As an athlete, I know it’s easy to get caught up in the 57 of a game. But I also know that 58 is just as important as losing and winning.
Always remember to 59 your opposing team. Play hard, but play fair. And always be nice. It’s the right thing to do and it always 60 .

完型填空题的命题特点及答题方法：
1.侧重基础知识，考查学生语言知识的能力
完型填空以文入手，结合文章的内容考查学生的基础知识，主要是词语搭配、固定句型、近义词辨析、辨析句子结构、掌握语法规则的能力，其中考查实词居多。
2.上下文对照，考查学生捕捉关键词的能力
解完型填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要注意句子间的关系及句子与段落的关系。所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此，在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力，捕捉关键词。第41小题考查形容词。 A. amusing有趣的；B. interesting有趣的；C. amazing不可思议的；D. embarrassing尴尬的。由下文的例子可知，作者举的这两个赛场上的例子很“不可思议(amazing) ”。上文的 incredible 和 unbelievable 也是提示信息。故选C. 43小题考查介词。A. behind落后于；B. off离开；C. from从；D. back后面。由下文的 One of his skis was broken. He had tried to ... with the damaged equipment 可知Gafarov己远远“落后于(behind) ”其他选手。故选A.
3.设置语境，考查学生的分析推理能力
旨在考查学生在选项都符合语法及句子结构的情况下能否利用前后语境去推断出正确答案。如第51小题考查动词。A. imagining想象；B. reviewing复习；C. celebrating庆祝；D. training训练。上文的Brazil had won, 2-1以及下文的 cheering and having a good time 可知此时比赛刚刚结束，巴西队球员在边线上“庆祝 (celebrating) ”。故选C.
4.结合生活，考查学生利用常识题的能力
目的考查学生的生活常识，看看学生是否善于观察生活，积累生活常识，能否利用常识去做恰当的选择。如第56小题考查形容词。A. shy害羞的；B. happy高兴的；C. crazy疯狂的；D. tired疲倦。根据前文的描述，由于David Luiz的举动，所以此处Rodriguez感到很高兴，故选B.
5.关注连词，考查学生对行文逻辑、句子关联的理解能力
此项用来考查学生在缺少连词的情况想，通过阅读能否理解句子的与句子的关系，是否了解行文逻辑的要求，能否掌握表示因果、转折、并列、条件、让步等的连词的用法。第47小题考查连词。A. or 或者；B. and和；C. but但是；D. nor也不。由冒号后面内容Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski, or give him the spare one可知Wadsworth面临两个选择 ，故选A.
Just as I began a new job in New York, I had 61 important job: father. I was a businessman. At the office I had three new projects and at home I had a young son who was growing fast and needed me. I was 62 (puzzle) and didn’t know how to deal with the relationship between job and family until one day, during my business trip
in Chicago, I came 63 an old family friend Dan, 64 was once a patient of my father. He told me something about my father. It was my father who 65 (help) him go through the cancer. When Dan knew he got cancer, he was very upset and wanted to give up, but my father, his doctor, encouraged him 66 (go) on fighting against the cancer. My father said to him, “You have 67 wonderful life and three fine children. Take some time with them. It is family that we live for----not just ourselves. Think of that 68 you will know life’s worth the fight.” His words touched me, and I 69 (sudden) realized that family is the most important in the world. I should spend more time 70 (stay) with them.
知识点：语法填空
61.another
62.puzzled
63.across
64.who
65.helped
66.to go
67.a
68.and
69.suddenly
70.staying
65.helped考查动词。该句是强调句型，结构为：It was＋被强调部分＋who＋其他，此处表示过去发生的事用过去时，故填动词的过去式helped.
语法填空是根据首字母提示及短文大意填词的短文阅读。此题型要求结合文章内容填出单词，所填单词往往与文章的内容息息相关，因而解题前必须通读全文，对全文内容有一个整体的了解，从中获取文章的基本结构、体裁、主题及所使用的语态等信息。通读后再复读，边读边填词。
填词时应注意所填词的词性，如果是动词，需根据其在句中的意思确定其正确的时态、语态及非谓语动词形式。比如文章第65小题考查动词。该句是强调句型，结构为：It was＋被强调部分＋who＋其他，此处表示过去发生的事用过去时，故填动词的过去式helped. 66小题考查非谓语动词。encourage sb to do sth鼓励某人做某事。故填不定式to go. 70小题考查非谓语动词。spend some time（in）doing sth花费时间做某事。故填staying.
如果是名词应注意其单复数、所有格的变化。
如果是代词应注意其主格、宾格、形容词性物主代词、名词性物主代词、反身代词等的变化。第61小题考查代词。拥有一份工作的同时，还拥有另外一份工作，故填another.
如果是形容词、副词应注意其等级的变化及两者之间的转化，第62小题考查形容词。be puzzled 感到迷惑不解，系动词后用形容词做表语，故填puzzled. 69小题考查副词。realized为动词应用副词修饰，指突然意识到。故填suddenly.
如果考查某些语法内容及特殊句式，要牢记语法规则，认真分析。64小题考查定语从句。空后是非限制性定语从句，先行词是Dan指人，定语从句中缺少主语，故填who.
对于有一定难度的空处，先将其放置一边做后面的，最后再从全篇内容上考虑、分析，仔细体会出题者的意图。填完所有单词后，必须将所有填的词带入文中再读一遍，仔细检查自己所填的词是否与文章的情境、内容一致，读起来是否流畅，单词拼写是否正确，单词形式是否恰当等，发现问题应及时纠正。
假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线（＼）划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意：1．每处错误及其修改均限一词。
2．只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。
Childhood is a time when there are little duties. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved no matter when he may do. It's impossible for him to be given such much again in his later life. But a child is not so free to do as he wishes it. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he had done wrong. When he starts to make their own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents. Therefore, he can no longer expect others to pay his food, his clothes, and his room. He has to work hard to live comfortable. If so, he can have the great happiness of build up his own position in society.

76.their→his.考查代词。与句中主语he一致，指他谋生用his修饰living。故their → his.
77.Therefore→However.考查连词。当他自己谋生时，摆脱了来自学校和家庭的规则约束。他不再期望别人给他买东西。前后句是转折关系，不是因果。故Therefore→However.
78.pay后加for.考查固定搭配。pay for sth.“为某物付款”，故pay后加for.
79.comfortable→comfortably.考查副词。此处修饰动词live用副词，指舒适地生活。故comfortable→comfortably.
80.build→building.考查动词形式。句中of是介词，其后用动名词做宾语，故build→building.

知识点：书面表达
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Li Hua, a student currently studying at Nanchang No.2 Middle School. I am writing to apply f
or the 2000 yuan's worth of fund aimed at helping those students who are financially disadvantaged.
Being raised in families that don’t have to worry about putting food on the table need not mean ignoring our less fortunate peers. On this account, we would appreciate it if you could sponsor our poverty-relief endeavor. The following is how we would go about using the money. We would spend 1500 yuan purchasing some stationery for the needy students in a poverty-stricken area. The remainder of the fund would be used to invite a motivational speaker who was to talk about how to lift oneself out of poverty by making right academic and professional decisions. Our efforts might make a difference in the lives of some young people, but who knows what butterfly effects these young minds may have on tomorrow's world?
We would be grateful if you could reply at your earliest convenience. You could contact me at 2016hope @icf.org.
Yourssincerely, Li Hua

应用文写作指导
应用文写作题目的设计形式多种多样，一般通过图画、表格、提纲等形式展示表达的话题及相关信息和主要内容，一般都要有一定的汉语提示和要求。写作内容大都包括对信息内容的客观描述，还要发表自己的观点和看法；有时要求提出解决问题的办法或建议。
应用文的写作要注意以下几个方面：
1、写作的前提是明确目的，以便合理的安排文章内容和结构。除了感谢信、道歉信、邀请信、推荐信、投诉信、求职信等目的较明确外，发言稿、通知、调查报告等也要考虑写作文章的用途或听众与读者的需求；
2、写作的关键是仔细审题，通过审题，得出图画、图表或提纲提示信息，并选准表达要点，使其很好的描述现象，分析问题，解决问题，达到写作的目的；
3、注意篇章结构的整体安排：开篇点题，表明写作的目的（一般给出）；描述事物的顺序和思路（按照审题得出的表达要点合理安排，要符合客观实际和人们的认知规律）；合适自然的结尾（首尾呼应，提出解决问题的方法或建议）。
4、注意应用文的语言要规范、准确，要得体；选词要丰富，适量使用结构稍复杂的长短句式，如倒装句、强调句和定语从句等，确保写作信息的含量；注意过度与衔接，确保行文连贯，提高写作的质量。
5、选择恰当的人称和时态：以第一、三人称为主，主要选用现在时态。
