25．Jenny ________ (suggestion) going to a theme park and we all agreed.

30． that do
31． whether should
32． what saw
33． why study
27．句意：会议什么时候开始？Mary问我。
宾语从句首先看语序，语序必须用陈述序，把will the meeting begin 改成the meeting will begin；其次看主从句的时态，主句Mary asked me是过去时，从句要用相应的过去的时态，因此把原来的将来时will begin改成过去将来时would begin；第三看引导词，特殊疑问句做宾语，原来的特殊疑问词用做引导词。故答案为when, would。
28．句意：你知道吗？这是谁的书？
宾语从句首先看语序，语序必须用陈述序，把is it 改成it is；其次看主从句的时态，主句Do you know是一般现在时，从句时态不需要改变；第三看引导词，特殊疑问句做宾语，原来的特殊疑问词用做引导词。故答案为whose, is。
29．句意：没有任何帮助他是怎么修好收音机的？你能告诉我吗？
宾语从句首先看语序，语序必须用陈述序，把can he fix the radio without any help 改成he can fix the radio without any help；其次看主从句的时态，主句Could you tell me表请求是一般现在时，从句的时态不需要改变；第三看引导词，特殊疑问句做宾语，原来的特殊疑问词用做引导词。故答案为how, can, fix。
30．句意：他总是认为：“我能做得更好。”
宾语从句首先看语序，语序必须用陈述序，I can do better已经是陈述序，不需要再改；其次看主从句的时态，主句He always think是一般现在时，从句的时态不需要改变；第三看引导词，当从句为陈述句时，用that做引导词。故答案为that, do。
31．句意：我真的不知道。我是留下来还是走。
宾语从句首先看语序，语序必须用陈述序，把Shall I stay改成I shall stay；其次看主从句的时态，主句I really didn’t know是过去时，从句要用相应的过去的时态，因此把原来的将来时I shall go改成过去将来时I should go；第三看引导词，if, whether意为“是否”，引导的宾语从句为一般疑问句，但是当从句中出现选择连词or时，只能用whether。故答案为whether, should。
32．句意：他看到了什么？他的妈妈真的很吃惊。
宾语从句首先看语序，语序必须用陈述序，把does he see 改成he sees；其次看主从句的时态，主句His mother was really surprised at是过去时，从句要用相应的过去的时态，因此把原来的一般现在时he sees改成过去时he saw；第三看引导词，特殊疑问句做宾语，原来的特殊疑问词用作引导词。故答案为what, saw。
33．句意：她知道吗？为什么这么多人出国学习？

【点睛】
宾语从句需要注意三个问题：
宾语从句的引导词，可以分为三类：连词，如that, whether/if；连接代词，如what, who, whom, which等；连接副词，如when, where, how, why等。
宾语从句的语序，宾语从句中应用陈述语序。
宾语从句的时态，应与主句时态一致，当主句是现在时，从句中应根据表达需要选择适当的时态；如果主句是过去时，那么从句中必须用适当的过去时态。但如果宾语从句表达客观事实或科学真理时，还用一般现在时。

【答案】例文：
Dear Tom,
I know your problems. It’s normal to have these feelings. I’m glad that you can tell me about your problems. You said your mother cared too much about you. Not only did she ask you to study well, but she also required you to do lots of housework, such as tidying your desk after you finished your homework and making your bed after you get up. And sometimes she even asked you to have your hair cut or have a bath. You were very upset. Firstly, you should talk to your mother and tell her why you don’t do chores. Secondly, make a plan for yourself and manage yourself. Thirdly, tell your mother if she worries about you too much, you will feel stressed out. It will influence your study. Communicate with your mother well and your mother will believe you can do better.
I hope things will be better for you soon.
Yours,
Lucy

Calligraphy is the art of handwriting. In the old time the Chinese considered writing as an important form of art. Calligraphers would practice for years to learn to write perfectly, but with style.
