C.when our school will hold the competition
D.that we need hard practice for the competition

4.C

【分析】
这道题考查宾语从句的用法，解题思路是：先明确宾语从句必须用陈述语序的规则，排除语序错误的选项；再结合主句“I want to know”（表想知道具体信息），判断引导词和从句内容是否符合语境，最终选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 宾语从句语序规则：宾语从句需使用陈述语序（主语+谓语）。A选项“where will the competition be held”中will在主语前，是疑问语序；B选项“how can we practise for the competition”中can在主语前，也是疑问语序，因此A、B选项错误，直接排除。
2. 引导词与语境匹配：主句“I want to know”表达“想知道某类信息”，从句应为疑问性内容。D选项用that引导陈述事实的从句，不符合“想知道”的语境；C选项“when our school will hold the competition”是陈述语序，且when作为疑问引导词，契合“想知道比赛时间”的语境，因此C选项正确。
【答案】
C
【知识点】
宾语从句（语序、引导词）

本题聚焦初中英语宾语从句的基础考点，既考查语序核心规则，又涉及引导词的语境适配，是学生需熟练掌握的核心知识点，难度适中。

【解析】对话中前者表达想放弃学吉他的想法，后者需要给予鼓励。A选项“That sounds great（听起来很棒）”与语境不符；B选项“I stand up for you（我支持你）”不符合鼓励坚持的语境；C选项“Don’t lose heart（别灰心）”是鼓励对方坚持的表达，契合后文“Keep practising”的提示；D选项“I’m sorry to hear that（听到那我很遗憾）”无鼓励意味，不符合语境。因此选C。
【答案】C

三、信息还原
Learning to play a musical instrument is a wonderful idea. But with so many choices, how do you pick the right one? Don't worry! 1.
What music do you like?
Start by thinking about the music you enjoy every day. 2. For example, if you love pop music, the guitar or the keyboard could be great choices. If you prefer classical music, you might like the piano or the violin. When you learn to play the songs you love, practice becomes a real joy. 3.
Where can you practise?
This is a very important question. Some instruments like drums can be very loud. The sound they make may be too loud for small spaces. 4. For quiet practice, you can choose a keyboard or an electric guitar. This helps you practise without making too much noise.
How much money do you have?
Musical instruments can have very different prices. A simple recorder is not expensive, but a good piano costs a lot. 5. Remember, you don't always have to buy a new one.
Looking for a second-hand instrument or renting (租) one is also a good way to start.
Choosing your first instrument is an exciting step. By thinking about what you like, where you live and your budget, you can find the perfect one to begin your musical journey!
A. It is wise to check the price before you decide.
B. You can pick an instrument for your favourite music.
C. Before you start practising, you need to buy a new instrument.
D. So choosing an instrument that matches your taste is really important.
E. If you live in a small flat or have close neighbours, this could be a problem.
F. Thinking about the following three questions can help you make a good decision.
G. The more expensive the instrument is, the better sound quality it can provide.
