一、单项选择。
1.—Excuse me, would you please tell me _________?（2020年江苏淮安）
—Certainly. It's about ten minutes' walk.
A. where is the nearest shop B. how I can get to the nearest shop
C. how far the nearest shop is D. how soon can I reach the nearest shop
【答案】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。
考查宾语从句。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.I have some tickets for the football match. I called my friends to see___________.（2020年江苏连云港）
A. where did they buy them B. why they liked to go there
C. when did we go together D. whether they’d like to go
【答案】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。
考查宾语从句。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.Tom became interested in books at a very young age. He read every book he could find and bought books of all kinds. Today Tom has a big collection of books. His favourite books are mystery novels and books about detective stories.
The story mainly tells us ________.
A. why Tom does the reading B. how Tom learned to read
C. how much Tom likes to read D. what Tom’s favourite books are
【答案】C
【解析】句意：这个故事主要告诉我们汤姆是有多么喜欢读书。
本题考查宾语从句及段落大意。why Tom does the reading 汤姆为什么读书；how Tom learned to read汤姆如何学会读书；how much Tom likes to read汤姆有多么喜欢阅读；what Tom’s favourite books are汤姆最喜欢的书是什么。根据宾语从句的语序是陈述语序，可排除A；根据“He read every book he could find and bought books of all kinds. Today Tom has a big collection of books.”可知，他读了他能找到的每一本书，买了各种各样的书。今天汤姆收集了很多书。因此判断这个故事主要介绍汤姆有多么喜欢读书。故选C。
4.I wondered ______________.（2020年湖北武汉）
A. which way was the wind blowing B. which one is the most convenient
C. which of the houses did you live in D. which school it was you went to
【答案】D
【解析】句意：我想知道你去的是哪个学校。
考查宾语从句。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，从句也应该时态一致是一般过去时态，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.—What did Lily say to you just now, Emma?（2020年湖北黄冈）
—She wanted to know
A. what will I do this Sunday B. who did I play volleyball with just now
C. why I am late for class this morning D. if I could go shopping with her tonight
【答案】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。
考查宾语从句。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.— Lily, could you tell me ________?（2020年山东青岛）
—About ten minutes.
A. how far is it from your home to school B. how far it is from your home to school
C. how long does it take you to walk to school D. how long it takes you to walk to school
【答案】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。
考查宾语从句。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.—Dear friends, do you know________?（2020年重庆）
—By working together!
A. when we can make the Chinese Dream come true
B. when can we make the Chinese Dream come true
C. how we can make the Chinese Dream come true
D. how can we make the Chinese Dream come true
【答案】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。
考查宾语从句。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。

【解析】文章大意：文中讲了作者上周日乘坐火车去上海，在火车出发前买了一些花，请卖花的女孩帮自己送给看起来难过的陌生人。
1.句意：我将乘火车去上海看望我的老朋友杰克。
bus公共汽车；train火车；plane飞机；underground地铁。根据下文“my train left”可知是要乘火车，用train符合题意。故选B。
2.句意：但离我的火车出发还有两个小时。
when当……时；before在……之前；while当……时；after在……之后。根据下文“I thought it was the perfect time and place to look ____ an act of kindness to do.”讲要趁着这个时间做好事，可推出是在火车出发前，用before符合题意。故选B。
3.句意：我认为这是寻找善举去做的最佳时间和地点。
look for寻找；look at看；look up查阅；look into调查。根据空后“an act of kindness to do”可知要做一件善事，结合选项可知只有look for能使句意通顺，表示寻找一件善事去做。故选A。
4.句意：在车站外面，有一个女孩在卖花。
tickets票；snacks零食；fruits水果；flowers花。根据下文“I told her that I'd like to buy flowers for someone else”可知小女孩是在卖花，用flowers符合题意。故选D。
5.句意：我告诉她我想给别人买花，她可以决定把花送给谁
decide决定；follow跟随；change改变；praise表扬。根据下文“I suggested that perhaps she could give the flowers to someone ...”作者建议女孩把花送给什么人，可推出是让女孩决定把花送给谁，用decide符合题意。故选A。

customer顾客；visitor游客；passenger乘客；stranger陌生人。根据上文“I told her that I'd like to buy flowers for someone else, and that she could ____ who she will give the flowers to.”可知是要把花送给别人，且没有指明是谁，由此可推出时为陌生人做点事，用stranger符合题意。故选D。
9.句意：“我要去上海了，然后我永远也不会知道结果会怎样，”我说。
often经常；never绝不；usually通常；seldom极少。根据题干中“I'm leaving for Shanghai ”可知作者不可能知道结果，用表示否定的词never符合题意。故选B。

十、阅读理解
Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their families don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas. It is very important for better teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends.
This communication is very important in children's growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to say to their family members. However, parents often try to choose their children's friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

Now it’s your turn: Do you have a question about an uncomfortable social situation at school, at home, on social media or among friends? Email it to us at Kjdsqs@njpost. com and Harper and Philip may answer it in a future issue. Please include your age and hometown. C’mon, we know you have one.
To inspire (激励) you, here are reader-submitted questions we’ve published in previous issues:
My mom signs me up for camps and activities without asking what I want to do. I only learn what I’m doing at the last minute. I don’t like that it’s a surprise, and I feel that I should be able to help plan my time. How can I have more of a say?
At my school, fourth graders need to learn different dances, then dress up for a fancy party where we ask partners to dance with us. This makes me nervous, and I’m not looking forward to it. How should I handle this situation?
My sister is home for college break and lucky me, she’s my roommate. As I’m 12 and she’s almost 19, we both want our own space. I know she doesn’t mean it personally, but she always complains that she doesn’t have a home, which makes me feel as if I’m intruding in my own room. Do I tell her how I feel or let it go?
