- Every four years.

A．how often the Olympic Games take place

B．when the Olympic Games are held

C．how often are the Olympic Games held

D．how often the Olympic Games were held

Answer 1

A

试题分析：句意：你能告诉我奥林匹克运动会通常多久举办一次吗？四年一次。后文讲到Every four years.每四年一次，所以是问频率，用how often的形式，宾语从句要用陈述句的语序，故选A
点评：宾语从句是中考英语常考的语法点，除了要注意宾语从句要用陈述句语序外，还要注意时态的问题，主句谓语动词如果是现在时或将来时，宾语从句的时态可以是任何所需要的时态；主句中的谓语动词若是过去时，宾语从句也要用过去时态中的某一种。比如：一般过去时，过去进行时，过去将来时，过去完成时。但是在表达宇宙中的客观真理时，要用一般现在时态。
