典型例题1

Excuse me!　 Would you please tell me 　　　?

A． where is the No.1 Middle School

B． the No.1 Middle School is where

C． the No.1 Middle School where is

D． where the No.1 Middle School is

解析　 答案：D　 本题是日常生活中问路的一种表达方式，重点是宾语从句，宾语从句应注意时态、语序和引导词三个问题，即主、从句时态的呼应，引导词在从句中的作用以及从句的陈述语序，本题中还应注意专用名词的大小写等，依据上述要求只有D符号，故D是正确答案。

典型例题2

将下列句子改为被动语态

He gave me a new watch.

凡含双宾语的句子改为被动语态时，多数是将主动句中的间接宾语改为被动句的主语，直接宾语作保留宾语，但也可将直接宾语变为主语，间接宾语作保留宾语，但这时保留宾语前需加介词to或for。
