—Yes. He is Peter's friend. They are celebrating his birthday.
A. who; ninth
B. that; nine
C. which; ninth
【答案】 A
【解析】【分析】句意:——你知道那个坐在彼得旁边的男孩吗?——是的。他是彼得的朋友。他们正在庆祝他的九岁生日。分析句子结构可知,第一空所在句子是定语从句,先行词是人,连接词在从句中作主语,所以应该用who/that引导,which连接定语从句时先行词应该是物,故排除C;nine九,基数词;ninth第九,序数词;第二空根据空后的birthday为名词单数可知,此处需要序数词,表示某人几岁生日应该用序数词表示第几个生日,故选A。
【点评】考查定语从句的连接词的辨析和序数词。注意区别定语从句的连接词的使用原则,理解单词词义。
