2020湖南普通专升本英语：阅读理解中的符号有什么意义！

1.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。如果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。
③用作小数点。
2.逗号
用于分割并列成分。阅读重点：两个逗号之间，或者一个逗号之后，如果是补充说明成分时，跳过不看。
Eg：Some huge American industries,such as consumer electronics,had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.

3.问号
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。另外，如果开篇就是问句，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。
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.
5.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.
6.破折号
①一个破折号后面起补充说明或评价判断。
I am an idiot-the stupidest kind of all.
“This book stands for reason itself.”And so it does—and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate.
②两破折号之间其补充说明，可先跳过不看。
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.
7.省略号
英文中的省略号的作用和汉语是一样的。当省略号在句围并且有下文时，应该打四个点，最后一个为句号。如:And it flew further,and further,and further....Jorge smiled and turned back.
