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引導(dǎo)的轉(zhuǎn)折句,alumni后的破折號只表示停頓。
(2)雙進雙出:強調(diào)插入成分,往往與前面的名詞內(nèi)容重復(fù)
例句2: It will prevent corporations — large and small — from buying influence with campaign contributions.
解析:本句的large and small由雙破折號連接,表示大小公司,與前面corporation內(nèi)容重復(fù)。
冒號
(1)連接兩個獨立句。
①獨立句:簡單句或主從句,不能只是從句。
例如1: Tom is a student: he studies SAT.
解析:本句中冒號分隔兩個簡單句,第二個句子解釋說明SAT。
例如2: Tom is a student who studies SAT: it is one of the standard tests.
解析:本句中由冒號分隔主從句和簡單句,第二個句子解釋說明SAT。
(2)后加短語,表示解釋說明,冒號之前必須是句子。
例如3: Tom who studies SAT: one of the standard tests in the world. ?
解析:本句冒號前只有Tom和who從句,主句沒有謂語動詞,所以錯誤,改為例句4.
例如4: Tom is a student who studies SAT: one of the standard tests in the world.

B. ; a single game which is watched by over 3 billion people in the whole 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:通過冒號看出是標(biāo)點符號的考點,根據(jù)“句號和分號都可以分隔兩個獨立句”的原則,a single game后面只有which從句,而沒有主句,所以不是獨立句,所以排除B和D項;又根據(jù)“逗號不能分隔獨立句”的原則,排除C項;再根據(jù)“后加短語,表示解釋說明,冒號之前必須是句子”的原則,a single game+which從句解釋說明前面的game,而game前面是獨立句,所以選A。
