揭开考研英语阅读中“十大符号”的神秘面纱

考研界公认的一条准则：得浏览者得全国。浏览的考查大到篇章，小到标点符号，以是咱们要把握各个细节，良知知彼方能百战百胜。下面靳姝教员为大师总结考研浏览中经常使用标点符号，但愿引发考生对浏览理解中标点加以器重。
1. 逗号 co妹妹a
　　用于朋分并列成份。考研重点：两个逗号之间，或一个逗号以后，若是是弥补阐明成份时，跳过不看。Eg. Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics, had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.
　2.句号 period/full stop
　　①用于报告句，暗示一个句子的竣事， 起朋分切分句子感化。
　　②用于某些缩略词以后。好比Mr.、 Ms.、 etc.等等。若是句号作为简写符号利用，那末这个词语简写先后面的符号应当照旧写上，由于简写号并不是句号，也不遵守句号的语法。好比Entreprise Co., Ltd或I invited Tom, Jerry, etc..（注重两个点）。
　　③用作小数点
　　3. 问号
　　考研英语浏览文章中的问号一般都是设问的功效，只问不答，谜底不言自明。Eg1. 考研莫非没有价值吗？此外，若是开篇就是问句，那末则属于问题谜底型文章，对问题的答复就是全文大旨。
4. 冒号（colon）：冒号先后是从抽象到详细的进程，后面进一步弥补阐明前面的内容。
　　Eg.1997 passage 3 Q2
　　60. The word “pervasive” (Line 1, Paragraph 2) might mean ________.
　　[A] widespread [B] overwhelming
　　[C] piercing [D] fashionable
　　We live in a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances (drugs) is pervasive: an aspirin to quiet a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning, a cigarette for the nerves.
　　5.分号(semi-colon)先后是并列瓜葛，包含布局上并列和语义上的并列。
　　For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. (2000 Passage2)
　　6. 引号(quotation marks)：①援用 ②夸大 ③嘲讽
　　Eg1 “Scientific” creationism, which is being pushed by some for “equal time” in the classrooms whenever the scientific accounts of evolution are given, is based on religion, not science.
　　7. 括号(parentheses ) ①诠释阐明生词。②弥补阐明
　　Drugs

(substances) that affect the central nervous system and alter perception, mood, and behavior are known as psychoactive substances. (1997，Text 3)
　　9. 破折号(dash)
　　①一个破折号后面起弥补阐明或评价果断。
　　I am an idiot – the stupidest kind of all.
　　”This book stands for reason itself.” And so it does – and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate.
　　②两破折号之间其弥补阐明，可先跳过不看。
　　In Australia-where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing co妹妹unity attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia.
　　10.省略号(ellipsis) …
　　英文中的省略号的感化和汉语是同样的。当省略号在句围而且有下文时，应当打四个点，最后一个为句号。如:And it flew further, and further, and further…. Jorge smiled and turned back.当省略号在句尾并作为语气耽误的作历时，应利用修辞前的标点，如：Do you love me…?其余环境下利用三个点。如：The Martians…they just…just bombed our…our town, please send…more…
