宾语从句
一、宾语从句的引导词
从句原形 关联词 例句
陈述句 that(在口语中常省略) I think (that) Halloween is a fun festival.
一般疑问句 whether, if (在口语中常用if) I wonder if/whether they will have the races again next year.
特殊疑问句 who, what, which, when, where, why, how Could you tell me where the restrooms are
在复合句中，由一个句子充当宾语，这个句子就叫做宾语从句。
引导宾语从句的常见关系词有：
that，if，whether，what，who，where，why，how等。
e.g. I hear (that) he will be back in an hour.
a. 有宾补时【主+谓+it(形宾)+宾补+that从句(真正宾语) 】
e.g. We must make it clear that we mean what we say.
b. 有间宾时
e.g. He told me that he was leaving for Japan.
c. 有并列时【由连词and连接的两个由that引导的宾语从句中, 第二个that不省略】
e.g. He told me (that) he would come and that he would come on time.
d. 前有插入语时
e.g. She may tell you, for example, that she’s interested in French.
e. 前有介词时【当that作介词except, in, but, besides等的宾语时】
e.g. I know nothing about him except that he is living in Beijing.
that不能省略的情况：
1.由从属连词that引导的宾语从句
一般可省略： 没有实际意义； 不充当句子成分(此时从句成分齐,全句意明确)

2. 宾语从句的同义句转换.
在宾语从句中常会出现“疑问词+动词不定式”的结构,它可与“疑问词+主语+情态动词+动词原形”进行同义句转换.
例句：Can you tell me how I can get to the station
= Can you tell me how to get to the station
1. 宾语从句：连接词+主谓+其他成分
注意：疑问变陈述后，一般助动词都去掉。而be动词和情态动词也不能提到主语前，遵守陈述句的主谓宾顺序。
如果是连接代词或副词，则保留疑问词，改变语序。因为疑问词是充当句子成分的，比如充当主语，那么句子就会变成
例句：The small children don’t know what is in their stockings.
补充说明
3. 宾语从句的否定
当主句中的主语是第一人称代词I或we，谓语动词是think，believe，expect，guess，suppose等时，从句中的否定词要移到主句中去，即：否定前移。
例句：I don’t think that Jack can finish his homework by himself.
We don’t think they will take part in our party.
宾语从句三要素
引导词
that +陈述句
if／whether +陈述句
特殊疑问词+陈述句
时态
当主句为现在时态，
当主句为过去时态，
语序
宾语从句的语序都为陈述句语序
当从句为客观事实或真理，
从句可为任何时态
Summary
从句应为相应的过去时态
1.主现从不限；
2.主过从过；
3.真理永现
任何时候都用一般现在时态

There she carefully filled out the order form torn from the catalog. “I need to buy a stamp to ___4 the form, she said to Mr. Smith, the only worker in the post office.

“Yes. It's a Christmas gift for Mum, but please don't tell her. It's our ______5,OK ” Molly didn't realize how white Mr. Smith’s beard was until that moment. In fact, he reminded her of Santa Claus.

答案：
大意：莫莉利用自已为邻居遛狗一年攒的钱给妈妈买了一副手套,她妈妈一直想买这么一副手套,但他们生活困难没有钱买。就在他们要吃圣诞大餐时,手套送来了,莫莉的妈妈非常高兴,问是谁给她买的,莫莉微笑着说是圣诞老人给她的。
1.B time意为“时间”; money意为“钱”; energy意为“能量”; food意为“食物”。给妈妈买手套需要的是“钱”,因此应选money.
2.C flower意为“花”; sunglasses意为“太阳镜”; gloves意为“手套; chocolates意为“巧克力糖”。由上文的buy Mum the gloves(给妈妈买手套)以及下文的saw the gloves in the catalog可知,此处应选gloves。
3.A hard意为“困难的;费力的”; lonely意为“孤独的; short意为“矮的,短的”; busy意为“忙的”。由后句句意“她曾听到妈妈对爸爸说:也许有一天,我会有钱买它们。’”可知他们生活困难,没有钱买手套。
4.D desig意为“设计”; check意为“检查”;complete意为“完成”; send意为“邮寄”。此处买邮票为的是将表格邮寄出去,故选send。
5.A secret意为“秘密”; choice意为“选择”; dream意为“梦想”; task意为“任务”。由上文的 please don't tell her(请不要告诉她)可推知，此处应为“这是我们的秘密”,故选 A。
6.D patiently意为“耐心地”; silently意为“沉默地”; perfectly意为“完美地”; happily意为“高兴地”。莫莉能自已攒钱给妈妈买礼物,肯定感到高兴,因此,此处应该是“高兴地对爸爸说,故选 D。
7.B work意为“工作”; look意为“看”; smile意为“微笑”; talk意为“谈话”。莫莉想给妈妈一个惊喜，不想让妈妈知道是给她买的礼物,因此,她是在妈妈不“看”时,偷看爸爸。
8.A sad意为“难过的”; strange意为“陌生的; angry意为“生气的”; tired意为“疲劳的”。由下文的 because she didn't have the gloves for Mum可推知莫莉给妈妈买的手套迟迟没有到,她为没有礼物送给妈妈而感到“难过”。
9.C push意为“推”; change意为“改变”; set意为“摆放”book; 意为“预订”。吃饭前,妈妈从烤箱里取出苹果派时,莫莉应该是摆餐具，即set the table。
10.B bought是buy的过去式,意为“买”; handed是 hand的过去式，意为“递”; lent是 lend 的过去式，意为“借”;returned是return的过去式，意为“归还”。由下文的Mum looked from Dad to Molly and opened the box可知，密斯先生把盒子“递”给了妈妈。

话题:节礼日
In Britain, Boxing Day is Boxing Day usually celebrated on December26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non-working day in the whole of Britain, When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest(神父)on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the alms box placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers(做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas; that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating(捐赠) their time, services and money to aid food banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.
6.If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ____.
A. December 25th B. December 26th C. December 27th D. December 28th
7. Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to _____.
A. save the poor B. pay for the priest
C. discover new land D. pray for sailing safety
8. What does the underlined phrase “sealed up” mean
A.密封 B.悬挂 C.归还 D.传递
9. The following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day EXCEPT _____.
A. offering gifts to the poor B. supporting families in need
C. spending time with family D. giving money to aid food banks
10. The purpose of the passage is _____.
A. to praise the kindness of priests B. to introduce the origins of Boxing Day
C. to call on people to help the poor D. to compare Boxing Day with Christmas Day

1.D根据表格的四个部分可知,共提到了四个节日,故选 D。
2.B根据表格中第二部分的标题Rolling cheese 及第一句This festival is celebrated on the last Monday in May.英国的滚奶酪节在五月份,故选 B。
3.C根据表格第三部分的倒数第二句可知，火人节是在黑石沙漠举办的,故选 C。
4.B根据表格第一部分中But the tomatoes are being thrown, not eaten可知，A项表述有误;根据表格第三部分中的最后一句可知,C项表述有误;由表格最后一部分中的最后一句可知,D项表述有误。故选 B。
5.A根据表格的表述可知,这篇文章介绍了各地的一些有趣的节日,因此应该是刊登在旅游的指南上，故选 A。
6.C 本题可用“推理判断法”解答。由第一段中的...strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas.可知,若圣诞节是周六，则节礼日是下周一。圣诞节是 12月25日,所以下周一是12月27日,故选C。
7.D 由第二段中的Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box可知水手将钱投入圣诞礼盒是为了祈祷安全返航,故选 D。
8.A由第二段最后一句The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.推测，盒子应该是密封的，此处 sealed up应意为“密封”。
9.C 由最后一段中的...keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating their time, services and money to aid food banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need可知,ABD三项活动都能表明节礼日的传统精神。而C项只是节礼日流行的活动,并不能表明节礼日的传统精神,故排除。
10.B本文主要介绍了节礼日的起源,故B项正确。
