今天我们要讲的是标点符号中引号（Quotation marks）的知识点，它具体有哪些内容需要了解呢？迫不及待想给同学们揭晓，我们一起来看看：
1. Used to show the exact words of a speaker. The quotation marks are placed before and after the exact words. 用来表示说话者的确切言辞，引号位于话语的前后。
Example: “Let’s go to the movies tonight,” said Janice. “The new action adventure was released.”
2. Used when a direct quotation is made within a direct quotation. In this case, single quotation marks are used to set off the inside quotation. 在直接引语中使用直接引用。单引号用于双引号之内。
Example: John said, “Miss Robinson clearly said, ‘The project is due tomorrow.’”
3. Used with the titles of short stories, poems, songs, and articles in magazines and newspapers. 用在短篇小说、诗歌、歌曲和报刊杂志文章的标题。
Example: “North Carolina Takes the Championship” –newspaper article
真题一：
Choose the sentence that is correctly punctuated.
A. “Everyone will read the chapter entitled “Africa” for tomorrow,” said the substitute teacher.
B. “Everyone will read the chapter entitled “Africa” for tomorrow” said the substitute teacher.
C. “Everyone will read the chapter entitled ‘Africa’ for tomorrow,” said the substitute teacher.
D. “Everyone will read the chapter entitled ‘Africa’ for tomorrow” said the substitute teacher.
正确答案：C
答案解析：C选项中因为它使用了正确的标点符号，将直接引语和陈述句的部分分开，并使用了单引号来标记书名号内部的内容。选项 A 中书名号要用单引号而不是双引号，即Africa要使用单引号，因此有误；选项 B 中tomorrow后面缺少了逗号，且Africa要使用单引号；选项 D 中tomorrow后面缺少了逗号。
真题二：
Identify the gerund in the sentence below.
Watching the Olympics with my dad is one of my favorite childhood memories.
A.watching
B.Olympics
C.with my dad
D.my favorite
解析：读题，圈出题干信息—gerund,还记得这个单词的意思吗？动名词，长啥样？Doing，对比选项，答案A自然就可以得出来。
