Question

—Do you know ________?

—Sorry, I've never had an e-book before. Why not read the instructions first?

A.how can I turn the e-book on B.how I can turn the e-book on

C.where can I buy an e-book D.where I can buy an e-book

Answer

B

【解析】

句意：——你知道我怎样才能打开这个电子书吗？——对不起，我从来没有读过电子书。为什么不先看看说明书呢？

考查宾语从句。how can I turn the e-book on我怎样打开电子书，疑问语序；how I can turn the e-book on我怎样打开电子书；where can I buy an e-book我在哪里能买到电子书，疑问语序；where I can buy an e-book我在哪里能买到电子书。根据句子结构可知，该空是宾语从句，从句中用陈述语序，先排除A和C。根据答语“Why not read the instructions first”可知，这里问的是怎样打开电子书，故选B。
