新sat考試新增了標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)題,就目前真考來(lái)看,標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)每次必考,考點(diǎn)也越來(lái)越固定。下面是小編為大家整理收集的關(guān)于新SAT語(yǔ)法考試分號(hào)冒號(hào)考點(diǎn)及真題題目的相關(guān)解析,希望對(duì)大家有所幫助。
首先我們應(yīng)該明確,解決標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)的題目:第一要考慮使用該標(biāo)點(diǎn)是否會(huì)影響句子主干;第二要考慮是否符合該標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)的語(yǔ)義作用。
我們先來(lái)看分號(hào)。分號(hào)的第一個(gè)常見(jiàn)用法是:It's used between two main clauses that balance each other and are too closely linked to be made into separate sentences (oxford dictionary)即隔開(kāi)兩個(gè)相關(guān)且獨(dú)立的分句,所以分號(hào)前后一般是完整的句子。
這個(gè)規(guī)則可以幫助我們很快的去確定選項(xiàng)正誤。Eg: An art director searched North Africa; I went to the Canary Islands.
例題:the name kingman was elected for its two parts, "king" and "man"; Cantonese for "scenery" and "composition."(og:dong kingman)
A no change
B parts: "king" and "man,"
C parts "king" and "man";
D parts ;"king" and "man"
首先掃讀選項(xiàng),確定考點(diǎn):標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào),在這我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)至少有三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是使用分號(hào):分別是acd,但是根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)判斷,都不符合前后是完整句子,直接排除。選擇b :用冒號(hào)來(lái)表示解釋說(shuō)明。
分號(hào)還有第二個(gè)用法:used to separate the parts of a complicated sentence or items in a detailed list, showing a pause that is longer than a comma but shorter than a full stop/period(該用法在新sat中暫未考察過(guò),此處只做補(bǔ)充。)
eg: The study showed the following: 76% of surveyed firms monitor employee Web-surfing activities, with 65% blocking access to unauthorized Internet locations; 57% monitor employee telephone behavior, including the inappropriate use of voicemail.
冒號(hào)的作用是:to explain an abstract noun or introduce a list. 冒號(hào)主要的作用是解釋和列舉。冒號(hào)前應(yīng)該是完整句,冒號(hào)后可以是詞,短語(yǔ)甚至是句子。
Eg :The job calls for skills in the following areas: proofing, editing, and database administration.
真題1 :But Jason Box, an associate professor of geology at Ohio State, believes that another factor added to the early 16 thaw; the "dark snow" problem.
A NO CHANGE
B thaw; and it was
C thaw:?
D thaw: being
首先我們應(yīng)該先掃讀選項(xiàng),確定考察點(diǎn)是標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)。第二,回到句子理解句子語(yǔ)義:the "dark snow" problem. 就是前文里面所說(shuō)的another factor,選擇c 選項(xiàng),冒號(hào)表示解釋。
真題2 :However, although well 29 compensated earning in 2012 a median annual salary of $90,930, PAs cost health care providers less than do the physicians who might otherwise undertake these tasks. (2016/5月北美真題-29)
A No change
B compensated (earning in 2012 a median annual salary of $90,930),
C compensated, earning in 2012 a median annual salary of $90,930
D compensated: earning in 2012 a median annual salary of $90,930,
先掃讀選項(xiàng),確定考察點(diǎn)是標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)。第二,回到句子理解句子語(yǔ)義:不難看出此處earning in 2012 a median annual salary of $90,930 是做狀語(yǔ)說(shuō)明 well compensated。根據(jù)語(yǔ)義分析大部分同學(xué)應(yīng)該可以很快排除b c選項(xiàng),而糾結(jié)于a d兩個(gè)選項(xiàng):因?yàn)槔ㄌ?hào)和冒號(hào)都可以表示解釋說(shuō)明,不知如何取舍。
但是根據(jù)我們剛剛說(shuō)冒號(hào)使用的句子結(jié)構(gòu)規(guī)則:冒號(hào)前是完整句子。我們可以很快排除d 選項(xiàng),因?yàn)槊疤?hào)前面只有although well compensated這個(gè)從句。最后選擇a 選項(xiàng),用括號(hào)來(lái)表示補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明。
真題3:The designer envisions the game's fundamental 35 elements: the settings, characters, and plots that make each game unique, and is thus a primary creative force behind a video game. (og4-35)
A) NO CHANGE
B) elements: the settings, characters, and plots that make each game unique-
C) elements-the settings, characters, and plots that make each game unique-
D) elements; the settings, characters, and plots that make each game unique;
同理,第一,掃讀選項(xiàng),確定考點(diǎn)。第二,回到原句理解語(yǔ)義the settings, characters, and plots that make each game unique 應(yīng)該是fundamental elements的列舉,因此大家應(yīng)該能比較快的排除bd選項(xiàng):b選項(xiàng)破折號(hào)使用錯(cuò)誤。D選項(xiàng)分號(hào)前后應(yīng)該是完整句子。大部分同學(xué)會(huì)在ac之間糾結(jié)。事實(shí)上,a 選項(xiàng)冒號(hào)前面雖然是完整的句子,但是and is thus a primary creative force behind a video game并非是冒號(hào)所涵蓋的內(nèi)容,是句子的主干成分(整個(gè)句子完整的邏輯語(yǔ)義是:The designer envisions the game's fundamental elements, and is thus a primary creative force behind a video game.)不能直接放在冒號(hào)后面。所以a 選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。答案選c.
