【新概念英语第二册9课文原文】 A cold welcome
On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day
of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town
Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen
minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The
big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing
happened. Suddenly someone shouted. 'It's two minutes past twelve!
The clock has stopped!' I looked at my watch. It was true. The big
clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment, everybody
began to laugh and sing.

55分时, 大钟停了. 那根巨大的分针不动了. 我们等啊等啊, 可情况没有变
化. 突然有人喊道 : “已经12点零2分了!那钟已经停了!” 我看了一下我的

【新概念英语第二册9课后练习答案---多项选择题】
1. 选 b
根据课文内容第1-2行 It was the last day of the year…和第8行The big
clockrefused to welcome the New Year, b 最符合课文内容,其他3个选择
都不对。
2. 选 b
根据课文第4行...at five to twelve, the clockstopped.钟是在午夜前停的
,但人们是在午夜后才意识到这一点的。(It's two minutes pasttwelve!第
6-7行),所以b.是对的。
a. before midnight 和课文事实不符合。 钟是在午夜前停的,但人们是在午
夜后才意识到这一点的。
3. 选 d
the evening 前需要有介词in才能构成表示时间的短语,所以选d.其他3个选
择都不对。
4 The people ___a___ under the Town Hall clock.
a. were b.was c. is d. be
选 a
people 是集体名词,虽然形式是单数,但意思是复数的(人民或人们),做
主语时候谓语动词要用复数形式。 B. was, c. is ,d be 都不能用在people
后面做谓语动词,只有a. were 可以,所以选a.
5. 选 a
这个问句的回答是一个表示时间的短语,因此需要一个针对时间提问的疑问词
。只有a. when是针对时间提问的,而其他3个都不是问时间的。
6. 选 b
在表示钟点的时间短语前面用介词at,所以只有b. at 是对的。
7. 选 b
从回答中可以看出,这个疑问句需要一个能够针对nothing提问的词,而且要
能够在疑问句中充当主语。a. nothing可以做主语,但一般不用在疑问句中
;c. any 是量词,不能做主语;d. athing可以做主语,用在这个问句中意思
虽然通顺,但不符合习惯用法;b. anything是不定代词,可以做主语,而且
只能在疑问句中做主语,所以b.是对的。
8 How many times did the clock ___d___ ?
a. hit b. beat c. knock d. strike
选 d
a. hit , b. beat, c. knock , d. strike这几个动词中都有“敲”,“打
”,“击”的意思,但是只有strike 有“(钟表)敲鸣”,“报时”的含义
,所以最佳选择是d.
9. 选 b
本句表示钟点的短"几点过几分"中只能用介词past,所以只有b. past 是正确
的答案。c. passed 不对, 是动词pass的的过去式,一个句子里不能有两个
谓语动词的。
pass是动词,而past是介词,有时用作形容词或名词。当pass用作动词和
past用作介词时,它们都有“过去”和“经过”的意思.

walletoutside his front door.
