考研英語閱讀中的“九大符號秘密”

  摘要:考研界公認的一條準則:得閱讀者得天下。閱讀的考察大到篇章,小到標點符號,所以我們要掌握各個細節(jié),知己知彼方能百戰(zhàn)不殆。下面為大家總結(jié)考研閱讀中常用標點符號,希望引起考生對閱讀理解中標點加以重視。

  1.逗號comma

  用于分割并列成分??佳兄攸c:兩個逗號之間,或者一個逗號之后,如果是補充說明成分時,跳過不看。Eg. Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics, had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.


  2.句號period/fullstop

 ?、儆糜陉愂鼍洌硎疽粋€句子的結(jié)束,起分割切分句子作用。

 ?、谟糜谀承┛s略詞之后。比如Mr.、Ms.、etc.等等。如果句號作為簡寫符號使用,那么這個詞語簡寫前后面的符號應該照常寫上,因為簡寫號并非句號,也不遵循句號的語法。比如Entreprise Co.,Ltd或者I invited Tom,Jerry,etc..(注意兩個點)。

  ③用作小數(shù)點

  3.問號

  考研英語閱讀文章中的問號一般都是設(shè)問的功能,只問不答,答案不言自明。Eg1.考研難道沒有價值嗎?另外,如果開篇就是問句,那么則屬于問題答案型文章,對問題的回答就是全文主旨。

  4.冒號(colon):冒號前后是從抽象到具體的過程,后面進一步補充說明前面的內(nèi)容。

  Eg.1997 passage3 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.分號(semi-colon)前后是并列關(guān)系,包括結(jié)構(gòu)上并列和語義上的并列。

  For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. (2000 Passage2)


  6.引號(quotationmarks):①引用②強調(diào)③諷刺

  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.括號(parentheses)①解釋說明生詞。②補充說明

  Drugs (substances) that affect the central nervous system and alter perception, mood, and behavior are known as psychoactive substances. (1997,Text 3)


  8.破折號(dash)

  ①一個破折號后面起補充說明或評價判斷。

  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.

 ?、趦善普厶栔g其補充說明,可先跳過不看。

  In Australia—where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia.

  9.省略號(ellipsis)...

  英文中的省略號的作用和漢語是一樣的。當省略號在句圍并且有下文時,應該打四個點,最后一個為句號。如:Anditflewfurther,andfurther,andfurther....Jorgesmiledandturnedback.當省略號在句尾并作為語氣延長的作用時,應使用修辭前的標點,如:Doyouloveme...?其余情況下使用三個點。如:The Martians...they just...just bombed our...our town,please send...more...
