直接引语和间接引语
引述别人的话有两种方式:一是使用引号引出别人的原话,这叫作直接引语;二是用自己的话把别人的话转述出来,这叫作间接引语。例如:
John said, “I’m going to London with my father.”
约翰说:“我要和我的父亲去伦敦。”(引号内是直接引语)
John said that he was going to London with his father.
约翰说他要和他父亲去伦敦。(宾语从句是间接引语)
第一部分 知识梳理
重点语法
1.直接引语是陈述句时,变间接引语的方法和规律
直接引语是陈述句时,间接引语为that引导的宾语从句(口语中that可以省略),且从句中的人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等要根据具体语境做相应的变化。
第一部分 知识梳理
重点语法
(1)人称的变化规则:一随主,二随宾,第三人称不更新。

(2)时态的变化。
主句是一般现在时,从句可用任意时态;主句是过去时,从句用相应的过去时态,即一般现在时改成一般过去时,现在进行时改成过去进行时,一般将来时改成过去将来时,一般过去时、现在完成时、过去完成时改成过去完成时。

2.直接引语是一般疑问句时,变间接引语的方法和规律
直接引语是一般疑问句时,间接引语为 whether 或 if 引导的宾语从句。即将一般疑问句的语序改为陈述句的语序,且句末用句号。其人称、时态等相应的变化也与直接引语是陈述句时相同。例如:
She asked, “Do you often come here to read newspapers ”
→She asked me if/whether I often went there to read newspapers.
【注意】只用 whether 不用 if 的情况。
(1)从句中有 or/or not 。例如: She asked whether he stayed or not.

(2)与不定式todo连用。例如:
I can‘t decide whether to tell him the news.
(3)在介词后。例如:
They are talking about whether they can afford the new house.
3.直接引语是特殊疑问句时,变间接引语的方法和规律
直接引语若是特殊疑问句,常选择what,when,where,which,who,how等疑问代词和疑问副词作连接词。
第一部分 知识梳理
重点语法
将特殊疑问句转换为间接引语时,需将疑问句式改为陈述句式,句末用句号,即转换成由原来的疑问词引导的宾语从句(当who为主语时,句式为“who+谓语+其他”)。例如:
“Which room do you live in ” he asked me.
→ He asked me which room I lived in.
He asked me ,“What color do you like ”
→ He asked me what color I liked.
【注意】宾语从句用陈述句语序,即“连接词+主语+谓语+其他”或“连接词+谓语+其他”。

4.直接引语是祈使句时,变间接引语的方法和规律
直接引语若是祈使句,将其变为间接引语时,间接引语应改为“tell/ ask/ order/ beg/ warn/ advise... (not) to do ...”句型。
例如:
The teacher said to me, “Stop talking.”
→The teacher told me to stop talking.
He said, “Don‘t make so much noise, boys.”
→He told the boys not to make so much noise.

Ⅱ、单项选择题
1. “Please close the window,” he said tome.
→He me the window.
A. said to;to close B. told to;closing
C. asked;to close D. said to;please close
C
解析：C 考查直接引语变间接引语。直接引语为祈使句,变为间接引语时,主句中的谓语动词往往根据直接引语的口气换用 ask (请求), tell (告诉), order (命令), invite (邀请), warn (警告), advise (建议)等,而直接引语中的谓语动词要变成动词不定式。故选C。
Ⅱ、单项选择题
2.“Have you seen the film ” he asked me.
→He asked me .
A. had I seen the film
B. have I seen the film
C. if I have seen the film
D. whether I had seen the film
D
解析：D 考查直接引语变间接引语。从句作 ask 的宾语,要用陈述语序,所以排除A和B;表示“是否”可以用 if 或 whether 来引导,但主句是过去时,直接引语中的现在完成时变为间接引语时要变成过去完成时。故选D。
Ⅱ、单项选择题
3. “I am a teacher,” Jack said.
→Jack said .
A. that I am a teacher B. I was a teacher
C. that he is a teacher D. he was a teacher
D
解析：D 考查直接引语变间接引语。直接引语为陈述句,变间接引语时用 that 引导(口语中常省略),即变成 that 引导的宾语从句,宾语从句中,主句为一般过去时,从句用相应的过去时态,所以排除A和C;引号内的第一人称变间接引语后与主句主语的人称保持一致,所以排除B。故选D。
Ⅱ、单项选择题

→He very naughty.
A. said his mother that the boy was
B. said to his mother that the boy is
C. told his mother that the boy was
D. spoke to his mother that the boy was
C
解析：C 考查直接引语变间接引语。陈述句变间接引语,通常改为 that 引导的宾语从句;直接引语中的 said 改为间接引语时通常要改为 told, mother 要变为 his mother, 间接引语中主句为一般过去时,所以直接引语中的一般现在时要变为一般过去时。故选C。
Ⅱ、单项选择题
5. He asked, “Are you a Party member or a League member ”
→He asked me .
A. am I a Party member or a League member
B. was I a Party member or a League member
C. if I was a Party member or a League member
D.whether was I a Party member or a League member
C
解析：C 考查直接引语变间接引语。he asked me 后面接的是宾语从句,他说的话是疑问句,变间接引语时,要用 if 或 whether 引导,所以排除A和B;宾语从句要用陈述语序,所以排除D。故选C。
Ⅱ、单项选择题
6. He asked, “How are you getting along ”
→He asked .
A. how am I getting along
B. how are you getting along
C. how I was getting along
D. how was I getting along
C

Ⅱ、单项选择题
7. He said, “Don’t do that again.”
→He me that again.
A. said to;not to do B. said to;don’t do
C. told;don’t do D. told;not to do
D
解析：D 考查直接引语变间接引语。直接引语为祈使句,变为间接引语时,主句中的谓语动词往往根据直接引语的口气换用 ask (请求) ,tell (告诉), order (命令), invite (邀请), warn (警告), advise (建议)等,而直接引语中的谓语动词要变成动词不定式。tell sb. not to do sth. 是固定搭配,意为“告诉某人不要做某事”。故选D。
Ⅱ、单项选择题
8. He asked me with me.
A. what the matteris
B. what the matter was
C. what’s the matter
D. what was the matter
D
解析：D 考查宾语从句。宾语从句中,主句为一般过去时,从句用相应的过去时态,所以排除A和C;从句作宾语要用陈述语序, what 作主语, the matter 作表语,所以排除B。故选D。
Ⅱ、单项选择题
9. I wonder how much .
A. does he spend on his car
B. did he spend on his car
C. he spent on his car
D. he spent in his car
C
解析：C 考查宾语从句。句意为:“我想知道他花了多少钱在汽车上。”句中 how much 是宾语从句的引导词,从句作 wonder 的宾语,要用陈述语序,所以排除A和B; spend some money on sth. 是固定搭配,意为“在某物上花费多少钱”,所以排除 D。故选 C。
Ⅱ、单项选择题
10. — Mike didn’t tell us he was leaving that day.
— I know. By air.
A. when B. how
C. why D. whether
B
解析：B 考查宾语从句的引导词。根据答语中的“By air.”可知,问句提问的是方式,所以用 how 来引导。故选B。
Ⅱ、单项选择题
11. He asked for the computer.
A. did I pay how much
B. I paid how much
C. how much did I pay
D. how much I paid
D
解析：D 考查宾语从句。句意为:“他问我为这台电脑支付了多少钱。”howmuch引导的从句作ask的宾语,且从句要用陈述语序。故选D。
Ⅱ、单项选择题

A. whose dictionary this is
B. whose dictionary that was
C. whose dictionary is this
D. whose dictionary was that
B
解析：B 考查宾语从句。句意为:“她问他那是谁的词典。”主句为过去时态,所以从句也应选择相应的过去时态,所以排除 A 和 C ;因为从句作 ask 的宾语,从句要用陈述语序。故选B。
Ⅱ、单项选择题
13. Mary’s mother asked her .
A. that whether she had finished her homework
B. if she has finished her homework
C. if she had finished her homework
D. that if she had finished her homework
C
解析：C 考查宾语从句。句意为:“玛丽的妈妈问她是否完成了作业。”一个宾语从句只能用一个连词,A和D选项连接词重复,所以排除;主句为过去时态,从句也应选择相应的过去时态,所以排除B。故选C。
Ⅱ、单项选择题

Nature is like a great magician, performing wonders on Earth. One of them is the Amazon rainforest, the world’s largest and home to millions of plants and animals. Nicknamed “the lungs of our planet”, it produces about one-fifth of Earth’s oxygen. However, this wonderful natural wonder is now in danger.
Thousands of fires have broken out in Brazil, endangering much of the rainforest. These blazes (火焰) have lasted several weeks and are believed to be the “most intense (强烈的)” in almost a decade, according to BBC News.
Ⅱ、阅读理解
The Amazon has seen a large number of fires in 2019. Between January and August, there were over 74,000 fires—the highest number since 2013.
Forest fires are common during the dry season, which runs from July to October. They are usually caused by natural events, such as lightning strikes. However, most of the fires this year are believed to becaused by farmers, who use fire as a traditional part of tropical agriculture to clean land. “It’s the best time to burn because the vegetation is dry. Farmers wait for the dry season and they start burning and clearing the areas so that their cattle can graze (吃草),” wrote CNN meteorologist Haley Brink.
Ⅱ、阅读理解
The disaster has raised concern around the world. The Amazon rainforest is important for preventing climate change, taking in millions of tons of carbon dioxide annually. When trees are cut down or burned, the rainforest’s capacity (能力) to absorb carbon dioxide is reduced.
Brazilian climate expert Carlos Nobretold Reuters he’s worried. If more than 20 percent of the ecosystem is destroyed, the Amazon rainforest could reacha “tipping point (临界点)”, where the thick jungle will turn into a tropical savannah (大草原). Nobre warned that it is not far off, with between 15 and 17 percent of the rainforest having already been destroyed.
The Brazilian government has sent soldiers to fight the fires. Many people have offered

Dear Tom,
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
I am delighted to learn that you plan to have a trip to Hubei during the coming National Holiday. Here I would highly recommend the Old City Wall of Jingzhou, the landmark of Jingzhou.
The reason why the Ancient City of Jingzhou is so well-known has a lot to do with a widespread classical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by ancient Chinese novelist Luo Guanzhong. By visiting this well-preserved ancient city, you can not only learn more about Chinese history but also fully appreciate the nearby appealing scenery.
By the way, you should always remember to wear masks wherever you go.I do hope you will have an unforgettable and pleasant trip here.
THANK YOU !
