雅思阅读备考之标点符号篇
读懂标点符号英语阅读成功一大半 (1)
读懂标点符号，英语阅读成功一大半一篇洋洋洒洒400单词的英语阅读中，除了单词，还有一些不起眼的东西—标点符号—其实对于我们理解文章，做对题目都有很大的帮助，今天，就跟大家八一八考研阅读中的起重大作用的特殊标点符号。
问号考研英语中，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，请一定认真品味作者想要表达的真实含义。
比如 2014年阅读text1 中有句话“We’re doing these things because we know they help people stay off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster.” Help? Really? 此处help?really?中问号就暗示我们作者对以上的说法是非常不以为然的。
同时，关于问号，我们还需要注意如果一篇文章开篇就是问句，那么则属于问题答案型文章，对问题的回答就是全文主旨。
比如1996年text4 第一段：What accounts for the great outburst of major inventions in early America-breakthroughs such as the telegraph , the steamboat and the weaving machine?那么这篇文章的中心，我们就一目了然了。
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。
所以我们往往可以分句冒号后面的东西来准确理解冒号之前的内容。
1997年题目问划线单词的意思，原文如下：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. 那么我们根据冒号之后的解释，可以很轻易的从[A] widespread [B] overwhelming [C] piercing [D] fashionable 中选出正确答案 [A]破折号如果句子出先一个破折号，则表明后面的内容对破折号之前的内容起补充说明或评价判断的作用，类似于冒号;如果句子中间有两个破折号，如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. 两破折号之间所夹内容通常称为“插入语”起补充说明作用，在考研30年的历史中，两个破折号之间的插入语从来没有出过正确答案，所以可先跳过不看，以减少阅读量。
提分细节之不要忽略雅思阅读中的标点符号
提分细节之不要忽略雅思阅读中的标点符号今天三立在线教育雅思网为大家带来的是提分细节之不要忽略雅思阅读中的标点符号的相关资讯，备考的烤鸭们，赶紧来看看吧！批改过不少的烤鸭写的雅思大作文，在标点符号上，很多同学实在是太随意了。
尤其是句号与逗号的使用，简直是混乱，所以分数可想而知。
但今天不说雅思写作，我们聊聊雅思阅读中，标点符号又有什么妙用呢?雅思阅读文章中有很多这样的标点符号，不仅可以使考生读懂文章，更能迅速准确的搞定考题答案。
雅思阅读提分技巧之冒号使用冒号在英文中有两大用法：一是用在一个正式的引用前面，二是列出表示列举、解释和说明性的词语。
比如在剑六TEST2第一篇文章的A段中，首句是这样表达的：In fact, Newman believes the main reason for adopting one sort of transport over another is politics: “The more democratic the process, the more public transport is favored.”冒号后的内容是一句正式引语，并对冒号前的politics进行了具体的阐述说明，因此，冒号后的内容是本段的主题句，强调的引号内的democratic一词，所以在本篇第一个题型List of Heading中，本段的选项为A successful exercise in people power.在剑桥四Test 4第三篇阅读文章The Problem of Scarce Resources中第一个题型依旧是List of Heading。
文章section c 段首句如下：'However, at exactly the same time as this new realization of the finite character of health-care resources was sinking in, an awareness of a contrary kind was developing in Western societies: that people have a basic right to health-care as anecessary condition of a proper human life.'冒号后面的内容对前半句的an awareness of a contrary kind进行了具体的解释说明，因此冒号后面的内容就是解题的重点。

如何猜测雅思阅读生词的词意
如何猜测雅思阅读生词的词意在雅思考试的四门科目来看，雅思阅读的词汇量要求是最高的，因此大部分考生一提到阅读就为数不尽的单词头痛。
怎样来解决这个难题呢，当然就是背单词了。
但是在考试中会发现即使背了好几千的词汇也会遇上生词。
这时候怎么办呢？我们就得运用猜词技巧来猜出其大概的词义，正所谓，狭路相逢勇者胜!这篇文章就跟大家一起分享一些猜词的技巧。
一、同义词猜词很多时候，单词的意思我们可以通过找到其意思相同或者类似的单词来进行解释。
常见标志词：like, the same as, similar to, means, refer to, that is to say, namely equal to...Just like his taciturn father, Jon rarely says anything at family gatherings.我们这里可以看出“taciturn”的词义和“rarely says anything”类似。
我们可能对“rarely”这个单词不太熟悉或者不是很肯定其意思，但是我们仔细一看发现“rarely says anything”, “anything”出卖了“rarely”这个单词。
“只阅读，不理解”，我们虽然不知道“rarely”的具体意思，但是我们知道，一般来说，anything用在表示否定的句子中，所以“rarely says anything”, 很有可能指的是“很少说话”，所以“taciturn’”的意思是“沉默寡言，话少的”。
PS: 平常经常提到的“rare species”, 意思是指“珍稀物种”，所以rare 这个单词指的是“稀少的、稀有的”。
比如资源变得稀少，我们可以写成“the natural resources are increasingly becoming rare.”二、标点符号猜词某些表示解释性质的标点符号也可以作为猜词的一个关键点。
逗号在雅思写作中的灵活准确运用,你造吗
雅思写作标点符号(punctuation)错误一定会被扣分，考生们要有所了解。
如果标点错误多的话，那么在写作评分标准中的Grammatical Range and Accuracy就一定会被扣分，取得高分就不容易了。
本文为大家分享的是逗号在雅思写作中的灵活准确运用，赶紧来学习学习吧。
雅思写作7分在这一项要达到has good control of grammar and punctuation but may make a few errors。
6分在这一项的评分标准是make some errors in grammar and punctuation but they rarely reduce communication。
5分在这一项的评分标准是may make frequent grammatical errors and punctuation may be faulty。
中国大部分考生在参加雅思写作考试的时候知道英语的句号是实心圆点而不是空心点; 另外，参加过英语学习的考生能初步掌握英语写作中不能出现逗号一逗到底的这种段落和文章。
但是仅仅知道这些还是不够的，在雅思写作中逗号(comma)用的次数是最多的，毋庸置疑逗号(comma)的功能也是最多的，如果考生能准确掌握逗号(comma)的作用及用法，雅思写作能提高0.5到1分。
现在和大家分享一下逗号(comma)在雅思写作中的灵活准确运用。
1.A comma is used in a compound sentence before the conjunction or connective (and, but, or, for, so, nor, or yet)a. We were tired, and we decided to have a rest. (and并列复合句用逗号)b. Journalists have long been regarded as the conscience of society, but today many of them find it increasingly difficult to present factual news stories. (but并列复合句用逗号)2.A comma is used after an adverbial clause or phrase before the subject of the sentence or in the middle of the sentence.a. In the ancient palace, they saw the throne where emperors used to sit. (状语短语在句子中用逗号)b. At lease for the foreseeable future, books will continue to be easier on the eyes. (状语短语在句子中用逗号)3.The comma is often omitted when an adverbial element follows the main clause.a. I was trying to reach her by phone when she walked into my office. (When 引导的状语从句逗号可以省略)b. Eating a lot of junk food may cause illnesses when we get older. (When 引导的状语从句逗号可以省略)c. When we get older, eating a lot of junk food may cause illnesses. (When 引导的状语从句逗号没有省略)mas are used to separate a series of words or phrases having the same function in the sentence.a. She buys bread, butter, vegetables, and many other things from this supermarket. (并列的名词之间用逗号)b. Many modern cities are overcrowded with residential, commercial and recreational buildings.(并列的形容词之间用逗号)5. Nonrestrictive clauses and phrases are set off by commas.a. He had to leave his hometown, where he had lived ever since he was born.(非限制性定语从句用逗号)b. Foods such as fried chicken, hamburgers and chips contain a great deal of fat and salt, which cause major health problems like high blood pressure.(非限制性定语从句用逗号)以上就是逗号在雅思写作中的灵活准确运用的具体介绍，考生在平时要多加注意，总结错误之处以免再犯，相信考生会取得高分。

雅思听力横听笔记之标点符号
雅思听力横听笔记之标点符号标点符号也是IELTS听力的一个考点，迄今为止，IELTS考过两次标点符号，一次是V21的section 1，要求填写party的举办地点Grouche‟s，录音中已经说出apostrophe(‟)，许多考生听不懂这个词，但这是这道填空题的关键，即使前面的Grouche写对了答案也不能算正确；另一次是V31的section 3，其中一道题要求填写question mark(?)，这个相对来说比较简单。
鉴于此，有必要把常见的一些标点符号以及相关词语作一总结。
punctuation: The use of standard marks and signs in writing and printing to separate words into sentences, clauses, and phrases in order to clarify meaning；the act or practice of inserting standardized marks or signs in written matter to clarify the meaning and separate structural units;. 标点法, 在写作及印刷中运用标准符号或标志以隔开词而形成句子、从句及词组从而使意思清晰，例如: a system of punctuationpunctuation mark: any of various standardized marks or signs used in punctuationQuotation mark：inverted comma：one of a pair of punctuation marks “” or…‟used chiefly to indicate the beginning and the end of a quotation in which the exact phraseology of another or of a text is directly cited 引号,单引号(用于引文内另一引文的起始和结束处)Apostrophe: The superscript sign (') used to indicate the omission of a letter or letters from a word, the possessive case, and the plurals of numbers, letters, and abbreviations；a mark ' used to indicate the omission of letters or figures, the possessive case, or the plural of letters or figures撇号，写在字上方的符号（'），用来表示从单词中省略一个或几个字母、所有格形式及数字、字母、缩写的复数形式，省略符号, 撇号(')[用于①表示省略, 如:can't, (=can not);'88(=1988) ②表示所有格, 如boy's; James' ③表示复数, 如two 0's, four 9's ④表示年代, 如the 1980's (读作the nineteen eighties)20世纪80年代⑤表示一字中的某一音不发, 如: 'lectric (=electric)]Comma: A punctuation mark (,) used to indicate a separation of ideas or of elements within the structure of a sentence；used especially as a mark ofseparation within the sentence 逗号, 一种标点符号（,），用于表示句子结构内思想或要素的分开Full stop: A period indicating the end of a sentence. 句号, 标示一句话结束的句点Colon：冒号1）: a punctuation mark : used chiefly to direct attention to matter (as a list, explanation, or quotation) that follows 2）: the sign : used between the parts of a numerical expression of time in hours and minutes (as in 1:15) or in hours, minutes, and seconds (as in 8:25:30), in a bibliographical reference (as in Nation 130:20), in a ratio where it is usually read as *to* (as in 4:1 read *four to one*), or in a proportion where it is usually read as *is to* or when doubled as *as* (as in 2:1::8:4 read *two is to one as eight is to four*Semicolon: a punctuation mark（；）used chiefly in a coordinating function between major sentence elements (as independent clauses of a compound sentence)Question mark：：a mark( ?) used in writing and printing at the conclusion of a sentence to indicate a direct question, 也称作interrogation mark或interrogation point.Interrogate：1 : to question formally and systematically 2 : to give or send out a signal to (as a transponder) for triggering an appropriate responseExclamation mark [point]：a mark ! used especially after an interjection or exclamation to indicate forceful utterance or strong feeling ? called also exclamation mark感叹号, 惊叹号建议考生在复习时，除了把已经考过的这两个标点符号（apostrophe、question mark）熟练掌握外，优先掌握comma、full stop、quotation mark、exclamation mark这几个词，推荐使用经典教材《初级英语听力》来练习这些标点符号。

雅思阅读备考之标点符号篇
标点符号,是书面语言的一大组成部分,它可以帮助准确的表达语意并协助读者抓住句中的精髓。
在上小学语文课的时候,老师都会教如何正确使用中文的标点符号。
其实,英文的标点符号也起着同样重要的作用。
雅思阅读文章中有很多这样的标点符号,不仅可以使考生读懂文章,更能迅速准确的搞定考题答案。
冒号
冒号在英文中有两大用法:一是用在一个正式的引用前面,二是列出表示列举、解释和说明性的词语。
比如在剑六 TEST2第一篇文章的 A 段中,首句是这样表达的:
In fact, Newman believes the main reason for adopting one sort of transport over another is politics: “ The more democratic the process, the more public transport is favored.”冒号后的内容是一句正式引语,并对冒号前的 politics 进行了具体的阐述说明,因此,冒号后的内容是本段的主题句,强调的引号内的 democratic 一词,所以在本篇第一个题型 List of Heading中,本段的选项为 A successful exercise in people power.
在剑桥四 Test 4第三篇阅读文章 The Problem of Scarce Resources 中第一个题型依旧是 List of Heading 。
文章 section c 段首句如下:
'However, at exactly the same time as this new realization of the finite character of health-care resources was sinking in, an awareness of a contrary kind was developing in Western societies: that people have a basic right to health-care as a necessary condition of a proper human life.'冒号后面的内容对前半句的 an awareness of a contrary kind进行了具体的解释说明,因此冒号后面的
内容就是解题的重点。
在冒号后面提出了 health-care 与 right 的关系,所以这个段的段落大意选择选项 I The connection between health-care and other human rights.
括号
括号在英文中可以用来表示其中插入的或附加的解释成分,这个插入成分可以是单词、词组或句子。
例如在剑五 TEST1第一篇文章Johnson ’ s Dictionary中,题号为 5的 summary 即考察的就是文中括号内的内容。
该题为:
Johnson did not hav e a …… ..available to him, but eventually produced definitions of in excess of 40,000 words written down in 80 large notebooks. 根据题中的定位词 80 large notebooks, 考生可找到文章第六段首句” The work was immense; filling about eighty large notebooks (and without a library to hand, Johnson wrote the definitions of over 40,000 words, and…… .. ”考生根据所填题目前的 did not have体现的否定关系以及不定冠词 a, 可预判答案选词为可数名词单数,并且体现为否定关系。
通过阅读,可确定答案为文章中括号内的单词 library.
问号
雅思阅读中的问号,多数情况下用在设问句之后。
设问句,即没有疑问而故意自问自答,作者的目的在于引起读者的注意和思考,能够引起文章的跌宕起伏。
因此,多数情况下,如果在段首位置出现了问号,该句即为该段的主旨句。
如剑六 TEST1第一篇文章“ Australia ’ s Sporting Success”的首段:
They play hard, they play often, and they play to win. Australian sports teams win more than their fair share of titles, demolishing rivals with seeming ease. How do they do it? A big part of the secret is an extensive and expensive network of sporting academies underpinned by science and medicine. 前两句为描述性语句,第三句问句 How do they do it?后的自问自答引出了本段甚至本文的中心内容。
破折号
雅思阅读中的破折号后的内容,通常是对主句中的某个单词或短语的修饰或解释说明。
破折号写法上共有两种, 一种为两个破折号搭配使用, 两破折号中间部分为细节即—……—, 而第二种情况为—…… . 的情况。
如剑四 TEST3第二篇文章:
Volcanoes-earth-shattering news”中 Section C第二段首句:Sometimes it is slow: vast bubbles of magma-molten rock from the mantle-inch towards the surface…… 两个破折号中的 molten rock from the mantle是在解释破折号之前的名词 magma.
破折号中的部分正好对应 19题的题干:What is the name given to molten rock from the mantle? 因此答案为 magma 。
依旧在 Section C 第四段中, 第四行 and you can see the rough outlines of what are called tectonic plates-the plates which make up the earth ’ s crust and mantle. 破折号后的 the plates which make up the earth’ s crust and mantle是在解释破折号前的 tectonic plates. 此句与 18题题干 What are the sections of the earth’ s crust, often associated with volcanic activity, called? 相对应。
