閱讀下文并回答問題。

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（報(bào)點(diǎn)聲）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!

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(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)確的時間。

【1】根據(jù)短文第一段中“the strangest is a collection of clocks. My friend Mr. Clock, a short man, has the hobby”， Clock先生的收集很奇怪，他喜歡收集鐘表。故用His hobby is a collection of clocks/ Collecting clocks/ To collect clocks/ He likes collecting clocks。

【2】根據(jù)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，雖然Clock先生很喜歡他的這些收集，但是他的妻子根本就不喜歡他們。故這個題的答案是否定的。故填No, she doesn’t/ No。

【3】根據(jù)短文最后一段中“Each clock keeps a different time. So she can hear the chimes (報(bào)點(diǎn)聲) almost any time day and night. With so many clocks around, she is never able to know what time it is!”可知，每個表都有不同的時間，因此她任何時候都能聽到報(bào)點(diǎn)聲，因此她不知道現(xiàn)在到底幾點(diǎn)了。故填Because each clock tells / keeps a different time。
