閱讀理解是考研英語復(fù)習(xí)的重要題型，小編解讀了考研英語閱讀中的九大標(biāo)點符號的含義，希望對大家復(fù)習(xí)閱讀有所幫助。、

1. 逗號

用于分割并列成分。考研重點：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

①用于陳述句，表示一個句子的結(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。

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。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

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

 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

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

①引用 ②強調(diào) ③諷刺

Eg： "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

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

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。

9.省略號

英文中的省略號的作用和漢語是一樣的。當(dāng)省略號在句尾并且有下文時，應(yīng)該打四個點，最后一個為句號。如：And it flew further, and further, and further.... Jorge smiled and turned back。

當(dāng)省略號在句尾并作為語氣延長的作用時，應(yīng)使用修辭前的標(biāo)點，如：Do you love me...?

其余情況下使用三個點。如：The Martians...they just...just bombed our...our town, please send...more.
