Part 3：语法突破
宾语从句-2 疑问词
一、核心概念
1. 什么是 “疑问词引导的宾语从句”？
第6 / 13
页 共 页当宾语从句由 what/who/why/how/when/where 等疑问词引导时，从句用于表达 “询问某事、某个情
况或某个方式”，作主句的宾语。
核心特点：从句必须用 陈述句语序（疑问词 + 主语 + 谓语），不能用疑问语序。
2. 常用疑问词及功能
疑问词 中文含义 从句功能 例句（主句 + 从句）
what 什么 询问事物 I don't know what she is doing.（我不知道她在做什么。）
who 谁 询问人 He asked who the new teacher is.（他问新老师是谁。）
why 为什么 询问原因 She wants to know why he was late.（她想知道他为什么迟
到。）
how 怎样；如 询问方式 / Can you tell me how to get to the park?（你能告诉我怎么去公
何 程度 园吗？）
when 什么时候 询问时间 Do you remember when we met?（你记得我们什么时候见面的
吗？）
where 哪里 询问地点 They don't know where the library is.（他们不知道图书馆在哪
里。）
二、基础规则（3 个核心要点）
1. 语序变化：疑问词引导的宾语从句，必须将原来的 “疑问语序” 改为 “陈述句语序”（疑问词
+ 主语 + 谓语）。
❌ 错误：I don't understand what is she going through.（疑问语序）
✅ 正确：I don't understand what she is going through.（陈述句语序）
2. 连接词不变：直接使用疑问词作为从句连接词，无需额外加 “if/whether”。
3. 时态一致：主句为过去时（如 asked, didn't know），从句需用相应过去时态；主句为现在时（如
know, want），从句时态根据实际情况而定。
例：He asked where she lived.（主句过去时 → 从句过去时）
例：I know where she lives.（主句现在时 → 从句现在时）
三、基础练习题
练习 1：将下列疑问句改为宾语从句
要求：用括号中的主句连接，从句用陈述句语序。

四、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在各题空白处填入括号内单词的正确形式。
Have you ever heard the word “neophobia” (恐新症)? It comes from Greek (希腊语). Neo means “new”,
and phobia means “fear”. So food neophobia is the fear of 1 (try) new food. It may sound strange,
but it 2 (be) very common in young children. About half of kids between two and six years old go
through this.
Why does it happen? Long ago, avoiding unknown food 3 (help) children stay safe. Bitter
plants could be poisonous (有毒的), so children learned to keep away from 4 (they). Today, this habit
is not really needed, but many kids still have it. They often say “no” before even tasting the food. They look at
the food, smell it, and quickly choose not 5 (eat) it. The good news is that food neophobia usually
goes away as children get older. Parents can help, too. Studies show that kids may need to see the same food
eight 6 (time) before they accept it. Making meals fun and 7 (color) also helps. But forcing
children to eat can make the fear even 8 (strong) than before, which will make the situation worse.
As children grow up, they 9 (have) a wider menu one day. But if food neophobia stays into
adulthood, doctors will advise these people to try new foods 10 (slow), step by step. Generally
speaking, it’s healthier to have a wider choice of food.
五、任务型读写
You may know about “junk food” like French fries. But do you know about “junk sleep”?
A British survey shows that there are many electronic products in teenagers’ bedrooms. They are
influencing teenagers’ sleep badly.
The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It is found that 50% of them got just 4 to
7 hours’ sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.
Almost 25% of the kids said they often fell asleep while they were watching TV, listening to music or
using other electronic products.
“The results are very worrying,” said Dr. Chris, a British professor, “We call it ‘junk sleep’. It means you
第10 / 13
页 共 页don’t get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is low, too.” The survey found that quite a few of the kids
felt tired each day because of the junk sleep, especially girls between 13 and 16. Nearly all the teenagers have
a phone, music player or TV in their bedrooms. And lots of them even have all the three.
Dr. Chris suggested that parents should help their children keep away from electronic products, and that
teenagers should spend less time on phones.
根据上面短文的内容回答问题（每小题答案不超过6个单词）。
1．What are influencing teenagers’ sleep badly?
2．How many kids get only 4 to 7 hours’ sleep a day?
3．What did Dr. Chris think of the results of the survey?

5．How will you deal with “junk sleep”?
六、短文还原
Five Tips to Improve Your Memory
Most of us know that our brains become smaller in size as we get older,but did you know that diet and
lifestyle have an effect on how well our brains work?
A study shows that eating lots of fruit, vegetables and proteins(蛋白质)improves memory. 1
Eating oily fish or dark chocolate (with over 70%cocoa) and taking Vitamin D3 can also help make your
memory stronger.
2 A 2011 study showed that regular exercise actually increased brain size. Another study found
that exercise improved memory in some older people; surprisingly it found that one single training period had
the same effect on memory as a regular, long exercise period!
One study found that eight weeks of short, daily meditation(冥想)improved memory. Other ways to relax
can also improve our short-term memory. Try taking 5-10 minutes of your day to meditate or listen to music. 3
Experts say that age reduces our ability to learn,but sleep can help. 4 A 2019 study found that
students learned things better before and after a short sleep!
5 Try to memorize information like phone numbers and addresses rather than putting the
第11 / 13
页 共 页information in your phone. You could also learn a language or do brain training like crosswords (填字游戏).
A．Or even just take a shower!
B．The role of exercise is really important, too.
C．Use your phone to help you memorize things.
D．To keep your brain in good condition, you need to use it.
E．For your brain to work well, 7-9 hours of sleep is necessary.
F．Try to avoid (避免) sugary foods such as cakes and milk chocolate.
七、阅读理解
Has a person ever held a door open for you warmly? How do you feel after playing with friends? What’s
your favourite family memory? These questions all focus on connecting with people. “Let’s Connect” is the
theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week, which aims to improve mental health by building healthy
social connections.
Humans naturally seek connections with family, friends or community members. Healthy bonds (关系)
bring energy and support-we all need others to celebrate joys and share worries with. They also boost physical
health and help people live longer; research shows loneliness can slowly damage health. The key to connections
isn’t the number of relationships, but their quality.
How to build connections? Julia Clements, the event organizer, says there are many ways: in-person or
online with friends, parents or teachers. Connections aren’t limited to humans—some feel close to pets or nature.
She suggests using actions and words: being kind, listening to others and trying new experiences work well.
Everyone may feel lonely and avoid talking sometimes. Remember connections change-some grow
stronger, others fade (变淡). Clements advises sharing feelings with trusted people or safe organizations like
Childline (儿童热线). They can help form new connections or fix strained (紧张的) relationships.
根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。
1．What is the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week?

2．Which one is NOT an advantage of healthy social connections?
A．Bringing people energy and support.
B．Helping people share joys and worries.
C．Making people become rich quickly.
3．What does “boost” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Harm. B．Improve. C．Change.
第12 / 13
页 共 页4．What does Julia Clements advise to build connections?
A．Only connect with people in person.
B．Keep away from pets and nature.
C．Be kind and listen to others actively.
5．What is the best title for the passage?
