1. A. time B. possibility C. problem D. pleasure

[答案]A

【精析】a time意为“一段时光”，become one意为“成为一体，聚集一堂”。

2. A. seeing B. hearing C. watching D. looking

[答案]C

【精析】该句使用拟人手法，把闹钟比作朋友，watch表示动作，指“观看，留意看运动着的东西”;see强调看的结果，无进行时态;look后不能直接跟宾语，需要加介词。这里用动词的现在分词形式表示伴随。故此处选择C项最为恰当。

[答案]B

【精析】指上文提到的事已经成为我们生活的一部分，A、C、D与文意不符。

[答案]D

【精析】根据上一段内容及生活常识可知，当我们在听故事或开玩笑的时候很难留意到其他事物，只有在吃饭的时候才会注意到the old clock.故D项最为恰当。

[答案]D

【精析】根据下文和生活中有关闹钟的常识判断，应该是在一天中的不同时间，闹钟敲响不同的次数。

6. A. shock B. sound C. song D. music

[答案]B

【精析】该部分意为：闹钟发出的奇妙宏大的声音(sound)在满屋子里回荡。

7. A. memories B. minds C. comfort D. information

[答案]A

【精析】该句句意为：闹钟年复一年地打点报时，留在我的记忆里，也留在我的心里。根据后文的a part of my heart容易排除掉B、C、D项。

[答案]C

【精析】根据上下文，对我来说，更精彩的是爷爷每天的特殊动作。

9. A. opened B. wound C. turned D. started
