参考答案与解析
一、单项选择。
1. C
【解析】句意：—打扰一下，你能告诉我最近的商店有多远吗？—当然，大约十分钟的路程。where is the nearest shop最近的商店在哪里，是疑问语序；how I can get to the nearest shop我怎样去最近的商店；how far the nearest shop is最近的商店有多远；how soon can I reach the nearest shop我多快能到达最近的商店，是疑问语序。根据句子结构可知，这是一个宾语从句，从句中应用陈述语序，先排除A和D；根据下面的回答“It’s about ten minutes’ walk”可知，这里问的是距离，故选C。
2. D
【解析】句意：我有一些足球赛的票，我打电话问我的朋友是否想去。动词see后面是宾语从句，用陈述句的语序（引导词+主语+谓语动词），A和C选项语序错误。根据“I have some tickets for the football match. I called my friends to see”可知是打电话问是否他们愿意去，表达不确定，宾语从句用whether来引导。故选D。
3. A
【解析】句意：—你能告诉我你想要我如何向你付款吗？—你最好用手机支付。我不介意你是用支付宝还是用微信。本题中，第一空语境意为“如何”付款，用连接词how；第二空考查whether ... or ...意为“是……还是……”。故选A。
4. D
【解析】句意：我想知道你去的是哪个学校。动词wondered后面是宾语从句，用陈述句的语序，即连接词+主语+谓语动词，A和C选项的语序错误，排除A和C。根据wondered可知句子是一般过去时，从句应该时态一致，用一般过去时态，B选项时态不符合。which school it was you went to表示“你去的是哪个学校”，从句的语序和时态都符合。故选D。
5. D
【解析】句意：—莉莉刚才对你说了什么，爱玛？—她想知道我今晚能不能和她一起去购物。根据英语语法，宾语从句应用陈述句语序，故A、B选项可排除。根据答句She wanted to know以及宾语从句“主过从必过”原则，宾语从句应用一般过去时，故选D。
6. D
【解析】句意：—莉莉，你能告诉我从你家到学校要花多长时间么？—大约十分钟。how far多远（距离）；how long多长时间。tell me后是宾语从句，用陈述句的语序（主语+谓语动词），A和C语序错误。根据“About ten minutes”表达一段时间“大约十分钟”，可知宾语从句用how long。故选D。
7. C
【解析】句意：—亲爱的朋友们，你们知道我们怎样才能实现中国梦吗？—通过共同合作。宾语从句遵循陈述句语序，故排除B、D，这两个是疑问句语序；根据回答“By working together”可知上一句是对方式进行提问，所以用how，故选C。
8. D
【解析】根据答语回答的是时间，故用when，选D。
9. B
