SAT备考知识点推荐: SAT文法知识点第28期
一、标点符号
1.含义:
句中的标点符号使用要规范。
2.类型:
(1)破折号和冒号符号
3. 用法
破折号
(1)表示停顿并强调破折号后面内容,但不能分隔句子。
例句1: The students seem happy enough with the new plan, but the alumni — there was the problem.
解析:本句是有but引导的转折句,alumni后的破折号只表示停顿。
(2)双进双出:强调插入成分,往往与前面的名词内容重复
例句2: It will prevent corporations — large and small — from buying influence with campaign contributions.
解析:本句的large and small由双破折号连接,表示大小公司,与前面corporation内容重复。
冒号
(1)连接两个独立句。
①独立句:简单句或主从句,不能只是从句。
例如1: Tom is a student: he studies SAT.
解析:本句中冒号分隔两个简单句,第二个句子解释说明SAT。
例如2: Tom is a student who studies SAT: it is one of the standard tests.
解析:本句中由冒号分隔主从句和简单句,第二个句子解释说明SAT。
(2)后加短语,表示解释说明,冒号之前必须是句子。
例如3: Tom who studies SAT: one of the standard tests in the world. ❌
解析:本句冒号前只有Tom和who从句,主句没有谓语动词,所以错误,改为例句4.
例如4: Tom is a student who studies SAT: one of the standard tests in the world.

C. , a single game which is watched by over 3 billion people in the whole world
D. . A single game which is watched by over 3 billion people in the whole world
解析:通过冒号看出是标点符号的考点,根据“句号和分号都可以分隔两个独立句”的原则,a single game后面只有which从句,而没有主句,所以不是独立句,所以排除B和D项;又根据“逗号不能分隔独立句”的原则,排除C项;再根据“后加短语,表示解释说明,冒号之前必须是句子”的原则,a single game+which从句解释说明前面的game,而game前面是独立句,所以选A。
