ACT英語標點符號的誤選原因

出國考試 閱讀(9.32K)

細節決定成敗,標點符號使用的正確與否,也在從細微之處檢驗著學生對知識的掌握情況和運用能力,下面小編就來和大家說說那些誤選的原因,希望大家可以引以為鑑!

ACT英語標點符號的誤選原因

 一、不細緻,想當然

同學們在做題時,往往忽略了審題環節,僅憑自己的.直覺,想當然地選了一個錯誤答案。粗心大意是ACT英語考試失分的一大原因。如:

I found an expensive, long, turquoise prom dress on the discountrank.

A. NO CHANGE

B. expensive long turquoise prom dress

C. expensive long, turquoise prom dress

D. expensive, long, turquoise, prom dress

第一次做這個題目,部分同學會想當然地選擇D。但是我們仔細審題過後會發現,D是錯誤的。逗號的使用規則的確是規定了逗號可以用來斷開一系列的事物,但是對於這個“一系列的事物”也有明確的規定,它們必須是同一詞性、同一結構的事物。而在這個句子中expensive,long,turquoise是形容詞,但是prom是名詞。所以正確答案應該是A。

二、忽略句子結構,單純生搬硬套

大多數情況下,標點符號題更多考的還是句子結構。鎖定句子主幹才是真正的解題關鍵。如:

For almost two millennia, the yew anevergreen tree with a poisonous fruit and a twisted trunk, was scorned orfeared by many people, particularly Europeans.

A. NO CHANGE

B. yew, an evergreen tree, with a poisonous fruit

C. yew, an evergreen tree with a poisonous fruit

D. yew an evergreen tree with a poisonous fruit,

同學們看到題目之後會覺得一頭霧水,不知道該從何處入手。其實做這類題目的關鍵就是鎖定句子主幹。

Foralmost two millennia, the yew an evergreen tree with a poisonous fruitand a twisted trunk, was scorned or feared by many people, particularlyEuropeans.

這樣我們就能很清楚地看出 an evergreen tree with a poisonous fruit and a twisted trunk 是 the yew的同位語。所以正確答案是C。

三、只刷題,不歸納

部分同學做題只注重“量”,卻忽略了“質”。一味地埋頭刷題,從未靜心歸納,以致於同一個知識點一錯再錯。

The seven-year-oldlooked away from me when he lied reinforcing my suspicions.

A. NO CHANGE

B. when he, liedreinforcing my suspicions.

C. when he lied,reinforcing my suspicions.

D. when he lied;reinforcing my suspicions

The morning sunshining through wind-whipped branches creates an odd effect in theartist’s studio.

A. NO CHANGE

B. ,shining

C. shines,

D. ,shone

以上兩道題看上去都是考的都是動名詞,但是兩者之間有著“質”的不同。

第一題中的動名詞reinforcing my suspicions是狀語,修飾的是前面整個句子,所以選C。第二題中動名詞是定語,修飾The morning sun,所以選A。

由此可見,我們要學會歸納,分析錯誤的原因,仔細對比題與題之間的聯絡和區別,這樣我們才能真正做到舉一反三。
