ACT英语考试备考：复合句和标点符号

　　ACT英语考试可以说是整个ACT考试中非常重要的一部分，对大家的英语水平有一个全面的考查，所以同学们在备考的时候也要重视，那么今天小编就为大家介绍一下ACT英语考试中，复合句和标点符号的考点，虽然这个知识点看起来很容易的，但是真正做到万无一失也是有难度的，下面就一起来看看吧！

　　1、复合句和标点符号。

　　1)句子或者从句要完整，要有主、谓和宾语。

　　On May 20, 1927,Charles Lindbergh, a 25 year old from the Midwest, embarked on ajourney. Destined to become the first successful solo, non stop flight fromNew York to Paris.

　　划线部分改为“embarked on a journey destined tobecome the first successful solo, nonstop flight from New York to Paris. ”

　　… that instinct having precluded a change in territorial preference. (“that”从句，需要谓语动词，而非谓语动词 “havingprecluded” 不能做谓语，所以此句不完整，改为“hasprecluded”.)

　　2)一个句子不能出现两个动词(联动)。

　　To many, Prince Vlad was a nationalhero and call him Dracula reduces him to Stoker’s fictional monster. (该句子里面出现了两个动词：call 和 reduce , 所以call要改为“to call”做主语)。

　　3)非谓语动词的逻辑主语必须和主句的主语符合。

　　Horrified by trench warfare, alasting imprint was left on the generation of Europ ean intellectuals…(过去分词逻辑主语和主句主语不一致，所以改为The horrorof trench warfare left a lasting imprint…)

　　4)一些连接词或者介词及其短语，如however, nevertheless, nonetheless, notwithstanding, despite, inspite of ,due to 的用法。

　　However: used when you areadding a fact or piece of information that seems surprising, or seems verydifferent from what you have just said

　　Nevertheless / nonetheless: inspite of a fact you have just mentioned

　　Notwithstanding: (是介词，不能跟句子) in spiteof

　　In spite of /despite: 介词或者介词短语，不能跟句子，表示“尽管如此”。

　　Due to: 由于。

　　5)关于标点符号。

　　A.逗号不能连接两个句子;英语从句连接必须有连接词。

　　B.连接词使用，如“although,when”等，要断句, 要用逗号, 即两个从句之间需要逗号。

　　e.g. Although the exact cause for such journeys is impossibleto determine.Scientists speculate that continental drift has pulledtraditional seasonal homes far apart ….

　　F. No Change G..determine-scientists H. determine; scientists J.determine,scientists (答案为J)

　　e.g. When soldiers deserted his army orfailed to meet his military standards received the same treatment. (后半句应改为：standards, they received the sametreatment. )

　　e.g. Before Mary could reach the teacher she saw the woman offerthe bird part of bagel. (划线部分需要在“teacher”和“she”之间增加一个逗号。)

　　C.短语之间不必加逗号，“that”引导的宾语从句、限制性定语从句之前都不加逗号，而“which,who”引导的非限制定语从句，一定要加“逗号”。

　　e.g. I went to the library every night, smuggling in big cups of coffee,to keep me awake…(划线部分逗号不需要)

　　e.g. We were all charged with the excitement, that comes fromembarking on a great adventure…(划线部分逗号不需要)。

　　e.g My father, who snores loudly, always sleeps in his long johns. (非限制性定语从句需要逗号)

　　D.“and”连接的并列句必须增加“逗号”。

　　Susie ate seven hamburgers, and that’s why she was sick.

　　E.冒号表示说明前面的内容。

　　e.g I changed into my uniform and immediately got my first customers,a father, with tow little boys.(划线部分第一个逗号需要改成冒号)

　　F.分号表示两个并列的句子。

　　G.破折号表示停顿，或者插入语，句子中间需要两个破折号，结尾处一个就可以。
