题文

阅读下文并回答问题。 People often like collecting things. Collecting stamps, books, pictures and pens are some common hobbies. I know many kinds of collections, but the strangest is a collection of clocks. My friend Mr. Clock, a short man, has the hobby. He has as many as one thousand five hundred clocks. There are clocks everywhere in his house. You can see shelves are full of clocks. As there is not enough room for so many clocks, the man has to fill some boxes with clocks. Although Mr. Clock likes his large collection of clocks, his wife does not enjoy them at all. She complains (埋怨) every day about the work she has to do, for it is not easy for her to clean hundreds of clocks. She also complains about the noise. Each clock keeps a different time. So she can hear the chimes (报点声) almost any time day and night. There is something even worse. With so many clocks around, she is never able to know what time it is! 小题1:What is Mr. Clock’s hobby? ______________________________________________________________________________ 小题2:Does Mr. Clock’s wife like these clocks? ______________________________________________________________________________ 小题3:Why doesn’t Mrs. Clock know the time? ______________________________________________________________________________

答案

小题1:His hobby is a collection of clocks. / Collecting clocks. / To collect clocks. / He likes collecting clocks. 小题2:No, she doesn’t. / No. 小题3:Because each clock tells / keeps a different time.

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Clock先生有一个很奇怪的收集爱好，他喜欢收集钟表，他收集了多达1,500个钟表。但是Clock夫人不喜欢他的收集，因为她每天要清理几百个钟表。而且这些表有不同的时间，她在任何时候都能听到报点声，但是她不知道到底是几点了。 小题1:根据短文第一段中the strangest is a collection of clocks. My friend Mr. Clock, a short man, has the hobby.我们知道，人们经常喜欢收集东西，但是Clock先生的收集很奇怪，他喜欢收集钟表。 小题2:根据短文第三段中Although Mr. Clock likes his large collection of clocks, his wife does not enjoy them at all.可知，虽然Clock先生很喜欢他的这些收集，但是他的妻子根本就不喜欢他们。故这个题的答案是否定的。 小题3:根据短文最后一段中Each clock keeps a different time. So she can hear the chimes (报点声) almost any time day and night. With so many clocks around, she is never able to know what time it is!可知，每个表都有不同的时间，因此她任何时候都能听到报点声，因此她不知道现在到底几点了。
