MBA英語閱讀標(biāo)點符號暗藏的玄機

閱讀成績不理想?除了詞匯量差，句子結(jié)構(gòu)看不懂這些硬傷，其實你還忽略了標(biāo)點符號里隱藏的玄機，這些標(biāo)點符號對于提升閱讀做題速度、迅速找出答案也是大有幫助的……一起看看吧！

逗號

　　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.

　　句號

　?、儆糜陉愂鼍洌硎疽粋€句子的結(jié)束， 起分割切分句子作用。

　　②用于某些縮略詞之后。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(yīng)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

問號

聯(lián)考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。

冒號

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 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。

分號

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)

引號

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。

括號

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)

破折號

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。

②兩破折號之間其補充說明，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。

省略號
