一、在句子中圈出含有与所给例词画线部分相同读音的词汇。
1. this：On Anna's birthday，her brother gives her three dolls.
2. thin：These nice things are for my teacher.
3. mouth：The twins buy three pairs of shiny shoes for their little sister.
4. third：Both my father and my mother work in the big city.

1.圈出brother 解析:brother和this一样,th都发/ð/浊辅音。
2.圈出things 解析:things和thin一样，th都发/θ/清辅音。
3.圈出three 解析:three和mouth一样，th都发/θ/清辅音。
4.圈出Both 解析:Both和third一样,th都发/θ/清辅音。

二、根据句意及首字母提示填空。
1. In our school，classes s________ at 8:00 a.m.
2. Nezha is a h________ in a Chinese story.
3. —Can you tell me the p________ of the door?

(　　　)1. —Mike，when's your father's birthday?
—It's ______ the eighth ______ October.
A. at；in
B. on；of
C. on；in
D. in；of

1.B 解析:本题考查时间介词和固定搭配。具体某一天前用介词on，at后跟具体钟点，in后跟年、月、季节等。the eighth of October，10月8日，固定搭配，故选B。

(　　　)2. The pig ______ away. Then a cat ______ out from a room.
A. run；come
B. runs；comes
C. run；comes
D. runs；come

2.B 解析:两个句子的主语都是第三人称单数，故行为动词都用第三人称单数形式，故选B。

(　　　)3. Mum's birthday is coming. We are ______ the presents for her.
A. talk with
B. talking with
C. talk about
D. talking about

3.D 解析:talk with...与……交谈;talk about谈论。进行时中系动词are后面接动词的 -ing形式，排除A、C两项，由句意可知是谈论给她的礼物，D选项符合题意，故选D。
知识点拨：talk作动词用，是不及物动词，后面不能直接跟名词作宾语，需要搭配不同的介词，形成不同的动词短语。常见的有：talk about...谈论（关于）……，后面跟谈论的内容；talk with...与……交谈，后面跟谈话的人；talk to...和……谈话/对……说话，后面也是跟谈话的人。talk也有名词词性，表示交谈、会谈、演讲等，是可数名词，如have a talk。

(　　　)4. People ______ usually don't open their presents as soon as they receive them.
A. in the UK
B. in the US
C. in China
D. in Australia

4.C 解析:根据常识可知，西方人喜欢拿到礼物就拆开，而中国人不会立刻拆开礼物，故选C。

四、选择合适的句子完成对话。（有一项多余）

A. Really? B. Whose birthday is it today?
C. What are you doing，Mum?
D. I'm making a birthday cake.
