宾语从句中考考点 宾语从句是一种名词性从句,在句中作及物动词的宾语,或介词的宾语,或形容词的宾语,或位于间接宾语之后。宾语从句在初中英语语法中有着相当重要的地位,几乎每年的中考都有对宾语从句不同角度的考查。其考查的重点一般都集中在以下几个方面:‎ 一、考查宾语从句的引导词 宾语从句的连接词分为三类:‎ ‎1.若由陈述句转化而来的宾语从句,其引导词由that引导;不过that只起引导作用,无具体意义,在口语或非正式文体中常省略. eg:1.He said (that) he wanted to stay at home.他说他想呆在家里。 2.I am sure (that) he will succeed.我相信他会成功。‎ ‎2. 当宾语从句由一般疑问句变来时,其引导词由if或whether引导,意为“是否”,表示选择。‎ Eg:1.I want to know if (whether) he lives there.我想知道他是否住那儿。 2.He asked me whether (if) I could help him.他问我是否可帮帮他。‎ whether和if用法巧计: 主从表从同位从,if不用whether用;‎ discuss加介后,whether引导宾语从;‎ 不定式,or not后面跟,whether独能显神通;‎ 宾从如时否定句,if发挥其功用;‎ 避免歧义要慎重,其他情况可换用。‎ 注意:在引导宾语从句时,if和whether一般可换用,但在下列几种情况下只用whether,不用if。‎ ‎ ⑴当or not紧随引导词之后时。‎ ‎ Eg:1.We didn't know whether or not she was ready.我们不知道她是否已经做好准备。‎ ‎ ⑵当从句用作介词宾语时。‎ ‎ Eg:1.I am interested in whether he joined the army.我对他是否入伍很感兴趣。‎ ‎ ⑶当宾语从句移至句首表强调时。‎ ‎ Eg:1.Whether this is true or not, I'm not sure.这是否真实,我不敢肯定。‎ ‎4.在不定式前用whether Eg:I don’t know whether to stay here.‎ ‎(不过if可引导条件状语从句,whether则不可。)‎ ‎3. 当宾语从句由特殊疑问句变来时,则特殊疑问词便是引导词(如who /whose /what / which;when/where/why/how等),它们均充当一定成分,一般不可省略。‎ Eg:1.Do you know who (whom) they are waiting for?你知道他们在等谁? 2.Can you tell me where the No.3 bus stop is?你能告诉我三路车站在哪儿? 3.I don’t know why the train is late.我不知道火车为什么晚点了?‎ 注意:引导词的选择应依据句子成分及具体语境。‎ 宾语从句的引导词练习题:1.-5.ABACB 6-11.CCABAA ‎1.The teacher asked me I needed any help. A. whether B. that C. what ‎ ‎2.—Do you still remember___ he came here?—Yes, I do.

Do you know ______it is?A. whose B. which C. who ‎ 二、考查宾语从句的语序 无论主句是陈述句还是疑问句,也无论主从句之间是什么引导词,宾语从句一律用陈述句语序即“引导词+主语+谓语+其他”结构。从句中不会出现像do,did,does这三个无意义的助动词。常用的出题形式为单项选择题、句型转换题(直接引语转换为间接引语此类的题)。‎ Eg:1.I think (that) you will like this school soon.我认为你不久就会喜欢这所学校。 2.Can you tell me how I can get to zoo?你能告诉我怎样才能到达动物园好吗? 3.Please tell me when we’ll have the meeting.请告诉我什么时候开会。‎ 宾语从句的语序练习题:1-5.ACCAB 6-11.BAACCC ‎1.I want to know ______ the day after tomorrow. ‎ A. what he will do B. what will he do C. what he did ‎2.The teacher asked Lucy ______.

How can I get to the post office? (合并成宾语从句)‎ ‎→Could you tell me how I can get to the post offlce? (其中can不可改为could)‎ ‎2.Excuse me, could you tell me when we will visit the new Olympic Center? ‎ 宾语从句的时态练习题:1-5.BCBCB 6-10.CCCCA 11-17 CAAACCC ‎1.— Could you please tell me ______?— It’s next to the post office. ‎ A.where is the supermarket B.where the supermarket is C.where the supermarket was ‎2.Do you know ______ this time yesterday?

(状语从句)如果你向他请求,他会帮助你。‎ ‎2.My wife wants to know if Mary needs any help.(宾语从句)‎ 我妻子想知道玛丽是否需要帮忙。‎ ‎2.when 引导宾语从句时,意为“什么时候”,由其引导的宾语从句应为陈述语序; when 引导时间状语从句时,意为“当……的时候”,从句的谓语动词应该用一般现在时表示将来时间。‎ Eg:1.—I don't know when Mr Green will come back.—When he comes back, you must tell me.上句中的when 引导的是宾语从句,谓语动词用一般将来时表示将要发生的动作;下句中的when引导的是时间状语从句,谓语动词应用一般现在时表示将来时间。‎ 考查if/when 引导的从句是宾语从句还是状语从句练习题:1-5.BABAA ‎1.—I don't know if his uncle_____ .—I think he______ if it doesn't rain.‎ A. will come, comes B. will come, will come C. comes, comes ‎ ‎2.—I want to know when ___have a field trip.— We’ll have it when all the work ____.‎ A. you will; is finish B. you will; finishes C. you will; is finished ‎3.—Do you know when Dr White ____for dinner this evening?—No, but I think he ______ when he is free.‎ A. will come; comes B. will come; will come C. comes; comes ‎4.I don’t know if it ______ tomorrow.

If it_____, our sports meeting will be put off.‎ A. will rain; rains B. rains; will rain C. will rain; will rain ‎  ‎ 六.考查宾语从句中的“否定转移”现象 在带有宾语从句的复合句中,当宾语从句表示否定的意义时,若主句主语为第一人称I或we且谓语动词是think(认为)/believe(相信)/suppose(假定,猜想)/expect(期待)/ ‎ guess(猜想)/ imagine(想象)等表示心理活动的词时,往往把从句中的否定词前移至主句的谓语部分,即否定主句中的动词。这种现象习惯上称为“否定转移”。若只满足一个条件变否定看从句。‎ Eg:I. I don’t think chicken can swim ‎2. He said that he would not go shopping ‎3.—Shall we invite our teacher to the party?—That's a good idea. But I ___think she___ come. A. don't, will B. ×, won't C. won't, will D. do, won't 七.考查含有宾语从句的主从复合句的反意疑问句 ‎1.当陈述部分是一个带有that从句作宾语的复合句,附加部分应与主句的主语和谓语保持一致. ‎ Eg:1.She say that you need help ,doesn’t she ? ‎ ‎ 2.Tom said that he was late for school,didn’t he ? ‎ 2. 当主句的谓语动词是think,believe, suppose等,而主句的主语是I或 we时, ‎ 附加问句应与从句的主语和谓语保持一致.还要注意从句的否定前移. ‎ Eg:1.I think you are right ,aren’t you ? ‎ ‎ 2. I don’t think she can swim ,can she ? ‎ ‎3.当主句的谓语动词是think,believe, suppose等,而主句的主语不是I或 we,而是其他人称如you ,he等时, 附加问句应与主句的主语和谓语保持一致. ‎ ‎ Eg:She thought that they would go swimming ,didn’t she ?‎ 考查含有宾语从句的主从复合句的反意疑问句练习题:1-3.BCA 宾语从句的主从复合句的反意疑问句练习题:1-3.BCA ‎1.I don’t think he is right,__________?‎ A.isn’t he     B.is he     C.do I   ‎ ‎2.He believes she is right, __________?‎ ‎  A.doesn’t he     B.does he     C. isn’t she ‎3.I thought that he disliked playing football,__________?‎ ‎ A.didn’t he     B.did he     C.didn’t I 八.考查宾语从句的简化 宾语从句在一定条件下可以简化为动词不定式(短语)、“疑问词+不定式”结构、it+adj+不定式或复合宾语结构。具体如下:‎ ‎1.当主句谓语动词是hope/agree/choose/wish/decide/promise等,其后跟带that的宾语从句,若主从句主语相同时,从句可以简化为动词不定式结构。‎ ‎ eg:1).Li Ming hopes he will be back very soon.→ ‎ Li Ming hopes to be back very soon. ‎ ‎ 2).We decided that we would help him. → We decided to help him. ‎ ‎ 3).He decides that he will visit our school. → ‎ He decides to visit our school.‎ ‎ 4).He decided that he would visit our school.→He decided to visit our school.‎ ‎2.当主句谓语动词是know/learn/forget/remember/tell/decide等时,其后带有疑问词引导的宾语从句,若主从句主语相同,则该从句可简化为“疑问词+不定式”结构.‎ eg:1).She has forgotten how she can open the window. ‎ ‎→She has forgotten how to open the ‎ ‎ 2).I don't know how I can get there. → I don't know how to get there. ‎ ‎3).I don't know what I should do next. →I don't know what to do next.‎ 3. 当主句谓语动词为ask/ tell/ show/ teach等时,后接双宾语,其后带有疑问词引导的宾 语从句;这时如果从句主语和主句的间接宾语一致,宾语从句也可以简化为“疑问词+不定式”结构。‎ eg:1).Could you tell me how I can get to the station? → ‎ Could you tell me how to get to ‎ ‎ 2).Please tell me where I should show my ticket. → ‎ Please tell me where to show my ‎ ‎4.当主句的谓语动词是order(命令),require(需要)等时,如果主句和从句的主语不一致,宾语从句可简化为“名词(代词)+不定式”结构。 ‎ eg:1).The headmaster ordered that we should start at once. → ‎ The headmaster ordered us to start at once.‎ ‎5.当主句谓语动词为感官动词see, hear, watch, 或动词 find等词时,其后that宾语从句常简化为“感官动词 / find+宾语+宾语补足语”构,此时的宾语由从句的主语转化而来,而宾语补足语通常是1.形容词或形容词短语、2.省to的不定式3.过去分词或过去分词短语形式,4.动词的-ing形式 ‎ eg:1).They found that the box was very heavy. → ‎ They found the box very heavy ‎ 2) ‎.I heard that she sang some songs in the next room. → ‎ ‎ I heard her sing some songs in the next room. ‎ 3) ‎.Soon we found that the ground was covered with thick snow. → ‎ ‎ Soon we found the ground covered with thick snow.。 4).The teacher found that the boy was very interested in maths. → ‎ ‎ The teacher found the boy very interested in maths. ‎ 5) ‎.I saw that some children were playing in the park.→ ‎ ‎ I saw some children playing in the park. ‎ 6) Can’t you see that your father is sitting under the tree ? → ‎ Can’t you see your father sitting under the tree ? ‎ ‎7)He felt that his heart was beating fast.→ He felt his heart beating fast. ‎ ‎6.当宾语从句的形式主语是it,真实主语是动词不定时,宾语从句可简化为/"it + 形容词 + 不定式短语”‎ eg:1)I found that it was difficult to learn English well. → ‎ ‎ I found it difficult to learn English well.‎ ‎7.某些动词后的宾语从句,可以用介词加动名词(短语)等其他形式简化。 ‎ Eg: 1).He insisted that he should go with us. → ‎ He insisted on going with us. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎8.某些动词后的宾语从句可以简化为名词或名词短语。 ‎ eg:1).I'll take back what I said.→ ‎ I'll take back my words. 我将收回我的话 2).Could you tell us how we can get to the museum? → ‎ Could you tell us the way to the museum? ‎ ‎3).The poor boy doesn't know when and where he was born. → ‎ ‎ The poor boy doesn't know the time and the place of his birth.‎ ‎9.某些动词后的宾语从句可以简化为动名词或动名词短语. ‎ Eg:1).I remember that I have told her the truth. → ‎ I remember telling her the truth. ‎ ‎ 2).I forget I have closed the window. → I forget closing the window. ‎ ‎10.动词seem后的宾语从句,可以用不定式(短语)来简化,但句型需要进行适当 ‎ 的变化,形式主语it通常需用从句主语替换。: ‎ eg:1).It seems that he is ill. → He seems to be ill.   2).It seemed that the boys were going to win. →The boys seemed to win.‎ 宾语从句的简化练习:不改变句义将下列主从复合句改成简单句 ‎ ‎1.Tom’s father saw that he was sitting on some eggs ‎ Tom’s father saw ________ ________ on some eggs. 2.Mrs white told Tom that he couldn’t throw paper on the ground. ‎ ‎ Mrs White told Tom _______ _______ ________ paper on the ground. 3.Please tell me where we show our tickets.
