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個鐘表。但是Clock夫人卻不喜歡這個愛好，她每天都要清理幾百個鐘表，而且無論白天還是晚上她都能聽到報點聲，更氣人的是，雖然她家里到處是表，但是她卻不知道準確的時間。

1.細節理解題。根據短文第一段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就有這個愛好。由此可知，Mr. Clock喜歡收集鐘表。故選D。

2.細節理解題。根據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個鐘表。故選B。

3.詞義猜測題。根據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時間都能聽到報點聲。這句話中有hear這個詞，意思是聽到，故這里劃線的這個詞應該指的是報點聲。故選Ａ。

4.細節理解題。根據短文最后一段的內容可知，Clock夫人每天都在抱怨，因為it is not easy to clean hundreds of clocks清理幾百個鐘表是很不容易的，以及she can hear the chimes almost any time day and night，任何時候她都能聽到報點聲，和she is never able to know the correct time她總是不知道準確的時間。結合這三個地方可知，選D。

5.推理判斷題。根據短文最后一段的第一句話Mr. Clock likes his large collection of clocks, but his wife , Mrs. Clock does not enjoy them at all.可知，Clock先生喜歡他的收集，但是Clock夫人根本就不喜歡。故選B。
