()35.—Tom, what did the teacher say about reading?
—She told us .

A.why are books important
B.how could we read more books
C.did reading make people wiser
D.reading could help us open up new worlds

35.D

【分析】本题考查宾语从句的用法，解题思路为：首先确定空格处是动词told引导的宾语从句，宾语从句需使用陈述语序（主语在前、谓语在后的语序）；接着逐一分析选项，排除使用疑问语序的选项，最终选出符合要求的答案。
【解析】动词told后接双宾语，us是间接宾语，空格处为直接宾语，属于宾语从句。宾语从句必须用陈述语序，即“引导词+主语+谓语+其他”的结构。A选项“why are books important”、B选项“how could we read more books”均为疑问语序（be动词/情态动词在主语前），不符合要求；C选项“did reading make people wiser”是疑问句语序，也不符合宾语从句的语序规则；D选项“reading could help us open up new worlds”是陈述语序，符合宾语从句要求，因此选D。
【答案】D
【知识点】宾语从句（陈述语序）
【点评】本题考查宾语从句的核心规则——陈述语序，是初中英语的高频基础考点，只要牢记宾语从句的语序要求即可轻松作答，难度较低。

Mum smiled and asked again, “What do you want to do?”
I never thought about the question. I didn’t have an answer.
“ you want to go on studying or start to do something different,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Remember, it is who decide your life, not anyone else.” Tears were in her eyes with these words.
For the first time in my life, I was to make a big decision by myself. I sat there and thought about my future.
It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who would a difference to the world. To that, I needed to study hard.
The path to my future became clear to me. With a goal in mind, I studied hard.
Now, I’m 17. I’m proud to say that I am one of the students in my class.
