賓語從句
在復(fù)合句中,作主句中動(dòng)詞、介詞或形容詞賓語的從句叫賓語從句。賓語從句主要有三類:
1. 動(dòng)詞后接賓語從句。 He told us that they would help us through the whole work. 他告訴我們,在整個(gè)工作中,他們都會(huì)幫忙的。
2. 介詞后接賓語從句。 We are talking about whether we admit students into our club. 我們正在討論是否讓學(xué)生加入我們的俱樂部。
3. 形容詞后接賓語從句。I am sure I will pass the exam. 我確信我會(huì)通過考試。
賓語從句的考點(diǎn)主要在引導(dǎo)詞、時(shí)態(tài)和語序。
一、 賓語從句的引導(dǎo)詞
1. that 引導(dǎo)
that引導(dǎo)賓語從句時(shí),無詞義,在口語或非正式文體中常省略,引導(dǎo)的賓語從句是完整的陳述句。
He tells me (that) he is going shopping this Sunday. 他告訴我這個(gè)星期天他要去購物。
【易錯(cuò)提醒】 下列賓語從句不可以省略引導(dǎo)詞that:
① 當(dāng)that作learn, suggest, explain, agree, wonder, prove, mean, state, feel, hold等動(dòng)詞的賓語時(shí)。
② 介詞賓語從句的that不省略。I dont know about but that she is a girl from America. 我只知道她是一個(gè)美國姑娘。常見的這類詞還有: make sure確保;make up ones mind下決心;keep in mind牢記,等等。
③ 在動(dòng)詞+it+賓語補(bǔ)足語+賓語從句結(jié)構(gòu)中。
I feel it a pity that I havent been to the gettogether.我沒去聚會(huì), 感覺非常遺憾。
④ and連接的幾個(gè)從句,第一個(gè)that可以省略, 第二個(gè)后的that不可以省略。
2 whether / if 引導(dǎo)
whether/ if意為“是否”,引導(dǎo)賓語從句,它們不可省略。
【鏈接中考】
— What about going to the South Lake for a picnic next weekend?
— OK. But Im not sure it will rain. (2012·四川綿陽·13)
A. why
B where
C when
D whether
【答案解析】 此題考查賓語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。根據(jù)答句:我不確定是否會(huì)下雨,故選D。
【易錯(cuò)提醒】 whether 與if 用法的對(duì)比:
① whether 后可以直接跟不定式,if則不能。
She hasnt decided whether to go or not. 她還沒有決定去還是不去。
② 在介詞之后只能用whether,不能用 if。
Everything depends on whether we have enough money.一切取決于我們是否有足夠的錢。
③ whether后面能緊跟or not, if 則不能。
I dont know whether or not they will come for our help.我不知道他們是否來幫助我們。
【鏈接中考】
Do you know Zunyi or not tomorrow? (2012·黔西南·23)
A. whether are they leaving for
B whether they are leaving for
C if they are leaving for
D if are they leaving for
【答案解析】 賓語從句要用陳述句語序,所以排除A、D選項(xiàng);if不能與or not連用,故選B。
3. 特殊疑問詞作引導(dǎo)詞
當(dāng)賓語從句由特殊疑問句充當(dāng)時(shí),特殊疑問詞就是引導(dǎo)詞, 連接代詞who, whom, whose, what, which,連接副詞when, where, why, how, 它們起連接作用,作句子成分,各有自己的意義。
例如:Do you know what they listened to yesterday evening?
【拓展】 由連接代詞、副詞引導(dǎo)的賓語從句可以與“疑問詞+不定式”結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)化。
例如:I dont know where I should spend my holiday this summer.
I dont know where to spend my holiday this summer.
【鏈接中考】
— The light in his office is still on. Do you know ?
— In order to prepare for tomorrows meeting. (2012·江蘇揚(yáng)州·9)
A. if he works hard
B why he stays up so late
C why is he so busy
D. when he will stop working
【答案解析】 此題考查賓語從句及引導(dǎo)詞。賓語從句用陳述句語序,且答語中in order to表目的,引導(dǎo)詞應(yīng)為why,故選B。
【易錯(cuò)提醒】 疑問副詞、疑問代詞引導(dǎo)賓語從句時(shí),疑問副詞和疑問代詞本身具有一定的意義,在賓語從句中充當(dāng)一定的成分,因此不可省略。
二、 賓語從句的語序
【鏈接中考】
— Peter, is there anything else you want to know about China?
— Yes, I am still wondering . (2012·江蘇南京·8)
A. how is Chinese paper cut made
B how was the Great Wall built in ancient times
C why the Chinese people like to play the dragon dance
D. why do the Chinese people eat rice dumplings at Dragon Boat Festival
【答案解析】 此題考查賓語從句的引導(dǎo)詞和語序。句意:“—— Peter,還有別的你想了解的中國的事情嗎?—— 有。我還想知道為什么中國人喜歡舞龍?!痹谫e語從句中用陳述句語序,故選C。
【易錯(cuò)提醒】 在賓語從句中都要用陳述句語序,不可使用疑問句的語序。
三、 賓語從句的時(shí)態(tài)
① 如果主句是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)、一般將來時(shí)或祈使句,賓語從句可根據(jù)實(shí)際需要選用各種時(shí)態(tài)。
【鏈接中考】
— Simon, I wonder .
— Last Saturday. (2011·江蘇南通·15)
A. when the foreign visitors arrived
B when did the foreign visitors arrive
C when the foreign visitors will arrive
D. when will the foreign visitors arrive
【答案解析】 題意:“—— Simon,我想知道外國來訪者什么時(shí)候到的?—— 上個(gè)星期六?!庇苫卮稹發(fā)ast Saturday”可知使用過去時(shí)態(tài),排除C和D;在賓語從句中要用陳述句的語序排除B,故答案為A。
② 如果主句是過去時(shí)態(tài),賓語從句應(yīng)使用過去相應(yīng)的某一種時(shí)態(tài)。
【鏈接中考】
I didnt see Lucy at the party last night. Do you know ? (2012·湖北咸寧·31)
A. why didnt she come
B what happened
C when would she arrive
D where she has been
【答案解析】 此題考查賓語從句的時(shí)態(tài)和引導(dǎo)詞。賓語從句用陳述句語序,主句時(shí)態(tài)為一般過去時(shí)時(shí),從句需用過去范疇的時(shí)態(tài),故選B。
③ 如果賓語從句敘述的是客觀事實(shí)、真理、自然現(xiàn)象等,無論主句用什么時(shí)態(tài),從句都用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。
He said that light travels faster than sound. 他說,光比聲傳播得快。

Technology
Hi, my name is Tina and I have been reading about technology for school. Here is part of an essay that I wrote.
Our ancestors lived without any of the technology we have today. In those days everything was difficult. They had to use candles instead of electricity to light their way. Cooking was also difficult and took a long time. With no oven or hob, they had to first collect firewood, build the fire and then cook the food. When taking a bath, they had to heat the water on the fire first. With no telephones or Internet, people had to write letters to keep in touch with each other. Letters often took a long time to arrive as the only way of getting round was by horse or by horsedrawn carriages.
Nowadays, we are lucky. There are many things in our houses which we use every day and take for granted(認(rèn)為理所當(dāng)然的). We have fridges to keep our food cold. We have electricity, hot water, washing machines, air conditioners, televisions and much more. We depend on technology to travel and to keep in contact with our friends and family. We use cars, trains, buses and planes to get round. It is now possible to fly anywhere in the world. We can talk to people on the other side of the world by telephone or on the Internet. The Internet is an amazing thing. You can find out anything on the Internet; it is really useful. You can also buy things. Most of the British supermarkets have websites, so you can do your shopping without even leaving your house!
( )1. In comparison to our ancestors, our life today is .
A. easy
B hard
C difficult
D boring
( )2. What did people use to keep in touch with each other in the old days?
A. Telephones.
B Letters.
C The Internet.
D Mobile phones.
( )3. Tina thinks that we take things like for granted.
A. letters
B fires
C fridges or washing machines
D fridges and fireworks
( )4. The Internet makes it for us to stay in contact with friends and family.
A. easier
B harder
C more difficult
D impossible
( )5. How many modern modes of transport does Tina mention?
A. Two.
B Three.
C Four.
D Five.

Robots
You would see a robot when you were reading a story or watching a movie, such as Star Wars. Today, however, science stories are becoming true. More and more robots are starting to be used in factories and our homes.
These robots are different in size, shape and colour, but all of them have the same type of manmade “brain”. The robots that work in factories are called industrial robots. These kinds of robots are cleverer and faster than the old ones. Industrial robots can do jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous.
Robots are already coming into American homes, though not as quickly as they are going into factories. We have made robots work at home. They can do some housework like cooking, or playing with people just for fun.
These robots arent as friendly and clever as those in Star Wars. But their makers say, todays home robots can “walk” and find objects in their way, though sometimes they may knock into those objects. They can even carry objects, though sometimes they may drop those objects. Well, nobody is perfect. We may laugh at home robots today, but some day they will do better than humans. We humans can only see certain length of light, and hear certain sounds, while robots may see and hear better than we do.
In a word, robots will be widely used in our life in the future.

Im very glad to be your guide of the visit and Id like to tell you something about the robots. Robots seem very new to most people. But they have a long history. The first robot was made by a Greek inventor. You may see some robots in films. The robots in these films seem stronger, faster and cleverer than the people. In real life, however, most robots are used in factories, doing some dangerous, difficult or boring jobs. They have brought a lot of convenience to peoples lives in different areas. In the future, robots will work in space. Robots can help us a lot in many different ways, but they will never take the place of humans.
Hope you will have a wonderful time here.
