Only when he returned ________ that the war had ended and the army had come back.

we tell

we told

did we tell

were we told

考查倒装句型。Only放在句首时，句子要用倒装语序；根据句意“我们被告知”可知，此处要用were we told。故答案选D。

Every evening after dinner, if not ________ from work, I will spend some time walking my dog.

being tired

tiring

tired

to be tired

考查省略句。当状语从句的主语和主句主语一致，且状语从句中有be动词的时候，可以把状语从句的主语和be动词一起省略，本题if后面省略了I am，句意：每天晚上吃完晚饭以后，如果不是很累，我就会花点时间来遛狗。故C正确。

 Is _______ three hours _______ the poor boy to come to school on foot?

it; that it takes

there; that it takes

there; when

it; that

考查强调句。强调句的结构为It’s + 强调部分 + that从句。本题强调时间状语three hours。句意：可怜的男孩步行到学校花了3个小时吗？故A正确。

— Is it my age ________the boss minds?
—I’m afraid so. He will consider ________ necessary to have an experienced assistant.

which；it

that；it

which；that

that；that

考查强调句型和it的用法。第一空that与it is构成强调句型。第二空it是一个形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式to have an experienced assistant，选B。

I found _____ convenient to shop online at home .

it’s 

that

it

that was

考查强调句。句意：我发现在家网购很方便。这里it指代后面的to shop online。其中的强调句式是：主语+find it +形容词+to do，意为主语发现做某事是...的，故选C。
