新课程改革实施以来，人们对改革后高考的考查方式的关注度越来越高。在新课程改革的背景下，围绕着新思想、新理念、新要求与新标准来设计的试卷与考题也相应的有所变化。数学作为高考中的重要部分，值得深入研究。本文拟通过对实施新课改的省份的高考数学应用试题的研究，探索高考数学应用题所具有的特点与要素。通过文献研究法，获得当前高考数学应用题特点与要素研究的理论基础；然后，通过对具体试题内容的分析、不同省份试题的对比等方式揭示新课标下高考数学应用题的考查维度与特点；最后，再由多边形综合难度模型分析高考数学应用题的综合难度。通过对近五年高考数学应用题的考查研究，得出：新课标下高考数学应用试题在综合难度方面以江苏省的综合难度为最大，依次为山东省、广东省、海南和宁夏；在探究、背景和运算方面，江苏省的要求明显高于其它省；山东省在推理能力方面要求最高；在知识含量上则广东省的试题有略微的优势。同时，应用试题题型由以概率为主要的题型又逐渐的走向多元化的趋势。该结论可为广大考生备考提供了参考性的意见。

Nowadays, the actualization of the New Curriculum Reformation is growing vigorously. People are paying more and more attention to the new way of examination known as the college entrance exam after the reformation. In the background of the New Curriculum Reform, the test paper and examination questions which are designed under the new thought, new ideas, new requirements and new standards have correspondently changed. As a key part of the college entrance exam, mathematics is worth looking into. This article tries to explore characteristics and elements of mathematical application problems in the college entrance exam through the studying of those in reformed provinces. Firstly, this paper gains the theoretical basis of those by using documentary research. Secondly, this paper reveals dimensionality and characteristics of those under the reformation through the analysis of the specific content in test questions and the contrast of the test questions in different provinces. Finally, this paper analyses the comprehensive difficulty of those through the polygon synthesis difficulty, and summarizes the characteristics and the changing tendency of those through the studying of those in resent five years. We know, under the new standard of college entrance examination mathematics application questions in comprehensive difficulty of the comprehensive in Jiangsu province for the biggest difficulty, in turn, Guangdong province, in Shandong province of Hainan and Ningxia; Explore, background and operation in, the requirements of Jiangsu province was higher than other province. Shandong province in reasoning ability of the highest demand, In the knowledge content of Guangdong province, have the advantage of slightly. At the same time application question topic with probability for the main topic and gradually tending towards diversification trend. All above aim at providing referential suggestions to students who are preparing for the college entrance exam.
