7、特殊標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號后內(nèi)容常考由于特殊標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號后內(nèi)容是對前面內(nèi)容的進(jìn)一步解釋和說明，因此命題者常以標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號后的內(nèi)容進(jìn)行提問。具體說，特殊標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號包括： (1)破折號(表解釋)；(2)括號(表解釋)；(3)冒號(表解釋)；(4)引號(表引用)。題型一般有推理題，主旨大意題，細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題等。

例2．…She adds:"Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they've gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down (使…不突出)their visibility. "Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight. Q：The best title for this passage would be ______ .(A) pole of women and Minorities in Management(B) The Importance of Being Visible (C) Job Performance and Advancement(D) Sex and Career Success
(分析：選B項(xiàng)，屬主旨大意題型。冒號前面的內(nèi)容講的是女人和黑人常因自己的膚色和性別而畏首畏腳，不愿張揚(yáng)自己，這樣很難得到老板提拔。冒號后內(nèi)容即建議他們要象白人一樣善于突出自己并引人注意。此即全篇文章主旨，故選B項(xiàng)。)
