Question

People often like collecting things. Collecting stamps, books, pictures and pens are some common hobbies. I know many kinds of collections, but do you know the collection of clocks? My friend Mr. Clock, a short man, has the hobby. He has one thousand five hundred clocks.
There are clocks here and there in his house. You can see lots of clocks on the shelves. As there is not enough room for so many clocks, the man has to put clocks into some boxes under the beds in his house .

She complains (抱怨) every day because she has to do much work, for it is not easy to clean hundreds of clocks. She also complains about the noise. Each clock keeps a different time.

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是Clock先生喜歡收集鐘表，他收集了1,500個(gè)鐘表。但是Clock夫人卻不喜歡這個(gè)愛好，她每天都要清理幾百個(gè)鐘表，而且無論白天還是晚上她都能聽到報(bào)點(diǎn)聲，更氣人的是，雖然她家里到處是表，但是她卻不知道準(zhǔn)確的時(shí)間。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段but do you know the collection of clocks? My friend Mr. Clock, a short man, has the hobby.你知道有收集鐘表的嗎？我的朋友Mr. Clock就有這個(gè)愛好。由此可知，Mr. Clock喜歡收集鐘表。故選D。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段的最后一句話He has one thousand five hundred clocks.可知，他收集了1,500個(gè)鐘表。故選B。
小題3:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文中劃線詞所在的句子So she can hear the chimes almost any time day and night.可知，Clock先生的夫人無論在白天還是晚上任何一個(gè)時(shí)間都能聽到報(bào)點(diǎn)聲。這句話中有hear這個(gè)詞，意思是聽到，故這里劃線的這個(gè)詞應(yīng)該指的是報(bào)點(diǎn)聲。故選Ａ。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段的內(nèi)容可知，Clock夫人每天都在抱怨，因?yàn)閕t is not easy to clean hundreds of clocks清理幾百個(gè)鐘表是很不容易的，以及she can hear the chimes almost any time day and night，任何時(shí)候她都能聽到報(bào)點(diǎn)聲，和she is never able to know the correct time她總是不知道準(zhǔn)確的時(shí)間。結(jié)合這三個(gè)地方可知，選D。
