文体辨别是中考英语阅读理解的基础能力，直接影响答题效率与准确率。想要高效判断文体，需抓住不同体裁的核心特征。
应用文(Practical)
判断方法:具有很强的实用性，是为了满足人们在日常生活、学习、工作等方面的特定需求而编写的文本，如书信、通知、广告、简历等，格式和内容都有一定的规范和要求。
例子:书信:“Dear John, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to tell you that I have just finished reading the book you recommended. It was truly fascinating and has given me a lot of new insights. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. Best regards, Mary.”这是一封私人书信，开头有称呼，结尾有署名，内容主要是表达对对方推荐书籍的感谢之情，语言亲切自然。
通知:“Notice: Due to the heavy rain, the school sports meeting scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed to next Monday. Please make sure to inform all the students and teachers. Thank you for your cooperation.”这是一则通知，开头有“Notice”字样，明确告知了学校运动会因雨推迟的消息，并要求相关人员做好通知工作，语言简洁明了。
说明文(Expository)
判断方法:旨在向读者介绍、解释某个事物、概念、过程等，语言通常较为客观、准确，会使用一些专业术语或定义来阐述，目的是让读者对所说明的内容有清晰、准确的理解。
例子:“Photosynthesis is a process used by plants, algae, and certain bacteria to convert light energy into chemical energy. During this process, these organisms absorb sunlight
through pigments such as chlorophyll. They also take in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil. Through a series of complex biochemical reactions, they produce glucose, which serves as a source of energy and building material for the plant, and release oxygen as a byproduct.”这段文字对光合作用这一科学概念进行了详细的解释，包括它的定义、参与的生物、所需的物质以及产生的结果等，帮助读者了解光合作用的原理和过程。
