1、标点符号 高考英语中不可忽略的重要因素 高三复习心得之一 杨春芝 标点符号在英语中占有一席之地,它是书面语言的有机组成部分。其主要功能在于精确地记录语言,帮助确切地表达自己的思想感情和理解别人的语言信息。标点符号看似貌不惊人,微不足道,实则“八仙过海,各显神通。 同学们在平时的学习中是否能正确理解和运用标点符号至关重要(尤其是逗号和句号),用得不好,在写作时,会引起句意的变化,会给读者以内容含糊不清的感觉,甚至造成误解。理解不当,在阅读理解时,也会误解文章的意思。学以至用,在做题中标点符号也会影响着答案的选择。,仔细观察下面每组例句可以发现句意大相径庭,标点的重要性便可见一斑。 1.有无标点符
2、号会影响句意的整体理解, Li Ping said nothing _ made her mother sad the day before yesterday . Li Ping said nothing , _ made her mother sad the day before yesterday. A. that B. which C. it,析:句选A,这是限制性定语从句,先行词有 nothing , 用 that。句意为“前天李平没有说使她母亲伤心的话。”句选B,用了逗号,变成非限制性定语从句,用 which 。句意为“前天李平什么都没有说,这使她母亲很伤心。”, The stud
3、ents who knew about the floods took another road . 知道道路被淹的那些学生改道走了。(言外之意:只有那些知道道路被淹的学生才改道走了,不知道的学生仍走被淹之路。) The students , who knew about the floods , took another road . 同学们知道道路被淹都改道走了。(言外之意:同学们都知道道路被淹,都改道走了。), I have just remembered something she said . 我刚想起她说过的一件事。 “I have just remembered somethin
4、g , ”she said . 她说:“我刚想起一件事。”,二、标点符号的位置影响句意的确切意思, The policeman said , “The bus driver was to blame for the accident . ”警察说:“那位公共汽车司机应对这次事故负责。” “The policeman , ”said the bus driver , “was to blame for the accident . ”那位公共汽车司机说:“那个警察应对这次事故负责。”,三、标点符号的类型可以影响对正确答案的一锤定音, My neighbour has four cousins ,
5、 _ are college students . My neighbour has four cousins . _ are college students . A. all of whom B. All of them C. of them all D. whom,析:句,用了逗号,说明are college students 是个非限制性定语从句,应选用关系代词,故答案为A。句,用了句号,说明前后两句在语法结构上是完整的两个句子,故选B。,析:句,句中用了逗号,表明前一部分不是句子。因为逗号通常不能连接两个独立的句子,正确选项为B,构成独立主格结构。句,句中用了句号,表明前后两部分是两
6、个完整的句子,又因为在表示存在句的 there 后不用 have , 故正确选项为D。, _ no buses , we had no choice but to walk home . _ no buses . We had no choice but to walk home . A. There had B. There being C. It being D. There were,瞄准标点符号 跳出信息误区,一、逗号“,”可将称呼语和祈使句的主体部分隔开,如: Jane , _ sure to come by half past six this evening . A. will
7、be B. is C. is about to D. be,应选D。因逗号,不能再把 Jane 看成句子的主语。,应选C作插入语。若当非限制性定语从句时应把D中的 by 习惯上用 to。,逗号可将插入语和句子的其他部分隔开,如: The southerners , _ , live mainly on rice . A. who B. that you know C. you know D. as is known by us,二、逗号可暗示出前后可能是复合句或含非谓语动词作状语的句子 ,如:(MET90),_ more attention , the trees could have gro
8、wn better . A. Given B. To give C. If giving D. Having given,句中 the trees 暗示须用表被动的过去分词作条件状语,应选A。若选D应为 Having been given . 选C应为 If (it was) given .,三、句号“ . ”说明前后为两个独立的句子。前句或后句提供另一句解题的语境或条件。要充分捕捉句号提供的有效信息,准确理解解意。如:,I cant pay for these books . Theyre _ expensive for me . A. too B. very C. so D. much,由
9、于前部的否定句子信息,应选A。完整的句子为:Theyre too expensive for me to pay for .,后部提供了不愿相见信息,应选B。wish 后接过去完成时表虚拟,希望过去干或未干某事就好了。,I wish I _ my neighbour . Now we both try hard to avoid meeting each other . A. dont know B. had never got to know C. didnt come to recognize D. had recognized,四、分号“;”将两个独立的分句隔开,分号后边的句子不再用连词
10、,如,Ive read a lot about the High Dam _ the biggest in the world . A. ; its B. ; which is C. and its D. that is,应选 A。若是逗号分句可选非限制性定语从句B。而C应为 and its = and it is .,五、感叹号“!”是引起感叹句的重要标志,如:,(NMT93)_ from Beijing to London! A. How for is it B. Its far away C. What is a distance D. What a long way it is,因句尾
11、感叹号,还原为一般句子再判断应选D。,六、问号“?”是疑问句的显著标志,如:,_ the old man that was surprised at the news? A. Was B. Was it C. What did D. Was that,由问号知此句是强调句 It was the old的变形,前句问号信息暗示瞬间的过去时,“刚才”未听明白,不是能力上的B项,应选A。,(NMET)95 Your phone number again ? I _ quite catch it . Its 9568442 . A. didnt B. couldnt C. dont D. cant,七
12、、破折号“”说明破折号后面的部分是前面相应部分的同位语,或是前面相应部分的解释,如:,He sent scores of American stamps to his old schoolmates _. A. she and we B. her and me C. you and they D. LiYing and I,破折号之后的部分是宾语schoolmates的同位语,故须选宾语B,八、引号“”往往使被引部分的性质有所改变,如:,“Leaves”_ the plural form of the word “leaf ”. A. mean B. have C. is D. stand f
13、or,选C,主语为一个整体概念。,九、撇号“”常用来表示所有格或缩略式,hes = he is ; shes = she has ; we wont = we will not ; Youd better = You had better 等。,That teacher said that that “that” that that student used in that sentence was wrong . 老师说那个学生用在那个句子中的那个“that”是错误的。“that”作定语从句中的主语。,(MET90) Its a fine day . Lets go fishing , _?
14、A. wont we B. will you C. dont we D. shall we,“提议大家”用 lets , 反意疑问句用D。“表请求对方允许”用 let us,反意疑问句选B。,请用标点符号的暗示信息选择下列试题:,1.(MET92)-Please dont make a noise . -_ . Ill be as quiet as a mouse . A.
