2015年考研閱讀中標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號的妙用_跨考網(wǎng)

　　在考研閱讀中，不論是閱讀文章還是解答題目，標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號都可以起到畫龍點(diǎn)睛的妙用。下面跨考教育英語教研室張瑩老師就帶著大家見證一下由它們所產(chǎn)生的奇跡。

　　一：逗號

　　兩逗號中為插入語時(shí)，看暫時(shí)跳讀

　　1 For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors,which America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age,was going to be the next casualty.(2000，Text 1)

　　半導(dǎo)體制造業(yè)是美國發(fā)明的，而且是新的電腦時(shí)代的核心產(chǎn)業(yè)，一度被認(rèn)為會(huì)成為下一個(gè)受害者。

　　2 Some huge American industries,such as consumer electronics,had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.(2000，Text 1)

　　面對國外的競爭，美國一些大型產(chǎn)業(yè)出現(xiàn)了萎縮或者倒閉，比如消費(fèi)電子業(yè)。

　　3 This means that,for the first time,there will be an excess of boys in those crucial years when they are searching for a mate.(2000，Text 2)

　　(做男人總是有危險(xiǎn)。男女出生比例大約為105:100，但到成年時(shí)，這個(gè)比例就差不多會(huì)降到持平狀態(tài);而在70歲老年人中，女性人數(shù)是男性人數(shù)的兩倍。但是男性死亡率高這一普遍現(xiàn)象正在被改變。現(xiàn)在，男嬰存活率幾乎和女嬰一樣。)這意味著到了找對象的關(guān)鍵幾年，男性人數(shù)將首次超過女性。

　　二：冒號

　　進(jìn)一步解釋說明前句中的事物或現(xiàn)象

　　1. We live 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.(1996，Text 4)

　　60. The word “pervasive” (Line 1, Paragraph 2) might mean ________.

　　[A] widespread

　　[B] overwhelming

　　[C] piercing

　　[D] fashionable

　　2.There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide:stay alive, but have fewer children.(2000，Text 2)

　　進(jìn)行進(jìn)化式自殺還有一種辦法：一直活著、少生孩子。

　　3.I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship ofSheafter a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life,” and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status. Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once enjoyed:12-hour working days, pressured deadlines, the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on “quality time”. (2001, Text 5)

　　69. “Juggling one’s life” probably means living a life characterized by ________.

　　[A] non-materialistic lifestyle

　　[B] a bit of everything

　　[C] extreme stress

　　[D] anti-consumerism
