1. C 2. A 3. B 4. B

我们结合小学阶段学习的发音规则逐一判断：
1. 动词过去式词尾ed的发音规则：在/t/、/d/音后读/ɪd/，清辅音（除t外）后读/t/，浊辅音（除d外）和元音后读/d/。waited的ed前面是/t/，发音为/ɪd/；选项A、B、D的ed都读/t/，只有C选项wanted的ed前面是/t/，发音也是/ɪd/。
2. played的ed在元音后，发音为/d/；选项B、C、D的ed都读/t/，只有A选项opened的ed在浊辅音后，发音也是/d/。
3. looked的ed在清辅音/k/后，发音为/t/；选项A、D的ed读/d/，选项C的ed读/ɪd/，只有B选项worked的ed在清辅音/k/后，发音也是/t/。
4. ate的画线字母a发音为/eɪ/；选项A的a发音为/ɔː/，选项C的a发音为/ɒ/，选项D的a发音为/æ/，只有B选项came的画线字母a发音也是/eɪ/。

Ⅱ. Read and write. 用所给单词的适当形式填空。
1. There are many nice (story) in this book.
2. I went to the zoo and (see) some lovely animals there.
3. Alice (eat) an egg for breakfast yesterday.
4. — Did you go shopping in Hangzhou, dear?
— Yes.And I (buy) a silk scarf for you.
5. — What is your father doing, Nick?
— He is (write) an e-mail to his friend.

1. stories 2. saw 3. ate 4. bought 5. writing

1. 句中many表示“许多”，后接可数名词复数，名词story以辅音字母+y结尾，变复数需将y变为i再加es，因此填stories。
2. 句中and连接并列的谓语动词，前面的went是动词go的过去式，时态为一般过去时，因此see也要使用过去式saw。
3. 句中时间状语yesterday（昨天）表示动作发生在过去，句子用一般过去时，eat的过去式为ate。
4. 对话描述的是已经在杭州完成的购物行为，时态为一般过去时，buy的过去式为bought。
5. 问句使用现在进行时询问正在做的事，答句要对应现在进行时结构“be动词+动词现在分词”，write的现在分词形式为writing。

Ⅲ. Read and guess. 读一读并猜猜这个小故事的名字。
A man was selling his spears and shields.
At first,he said,“My shield is so strong that no weapons can pierce it.” Then he held his spear and said,“My spear is the sharpest. It can pierce everything in the world.”
At the moment,someone asked,“How about using your spear to stab your shield?” The very question silenced the man.

Enjoy the poem.（小诗）
This Happy Day
Every morning when the sun,
Comes smiling up on everyone.
It’s lots of fun,
To say good morning to the sun.
Good morning, Sun!
Every evening after play,
When the sunshine goes away.
It’s nice to say,
Thank you for this happy day.
Thank you, Sun!
快乐的日子
清晨当太阳冲着
每个人微笑的时候，
向太阳问个好，
真有趣。
太阳，早上好！
傍晚当太阳落山，
我们结束游戏的时候，
向太阳道个谢，
感谢这美好的一天。
太阳，谢谢您！

这个小故事的名字是《自相矛盾》，对应的英文故事名也可表述为*Self-contradiction* / *The Spear and the Shield*。

通读故事内容可知，故事的主人公售卖矛和盾，先是夸耀自己的盾无比坚固，任何武器都无法刺穿它，随后又夸耀自己的矛无比锋利，能刺穿世界上所有事物，旁人反问他“用你的矛刺你的盾会怎么样”，就让他当场哑口无言，这是经典的中国古代寓言，对应的故事名称就是《自相矛盾》。
