2024 考研英语：标点符号的作用 标点符号的作用 1. 逗号 用于分割并列成分。考研重点：两个逗号之间，或者一个逗号之后，假如是补充说明成分时，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 ①用于陈述句，表示一个句子的结束， 起分割切分句子作用。 ②用于某些缩略词之后。比如 Mr.、 Ms.、 etc。等等。假如句号作为简写符号使用，那么这个词语简写前后面的符号应该照常写上，因为简写号并非句号，也不遵循句号的语法。比 如 Entreprise Co., Ltd 或 者 I invited Tom, Jerry, etc。.(注意两个点)。 ③用作小数点 3. 问号 考研英语阅读文章中的问号一般都是设问的功能，只问不答，答案不言自明。Eg1. 考研难道没有价值吗?另外，假如开篇就是问句，那么则属于问题答案型文章，对问题的回答就是全文主旨。 4. 冒号 冒号前后是从抽象到具体的过程，后面进一步补充说明前面的内容。 Eg.1997 passage 3 Q2 60.

(2000 Passage2) 6. 引号 ①引用 ②强调 ③讽刺 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. 括号 ①解释说明生词。②补充说明 Drugs (substances) that affect the central nervous system and alter perception, mood, and behavior are known as psychoactive substances. (1997，Text 3) 8. 破折号 ①一个破折号后面起补充说明或评价推断。 I am an idiot...
