（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題：由文章的第一句和第二句Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a big clock in London.可知Big Ben為一個大鐘。所以答案是B。
（2）.細(xì)節(jié)理解題：由文章第二句It is the name of a big clock in London.可知Big Ben在英國倫敦，所以答案是D。
（3） 細(xì)節(jié)理解題：由The big clock makes such a loud noise. 'Ding dong, ding dong.' It goes every quarter (四分之一) of an hour可以看出，Big Ben每隔15分鐘敲一回。因為一小時的四分之一是15分鐘，所以答案是B。
（4）細(xì)節(jié)理解題：由This clock has four faces. So, no matter (無論) where you stand, you can read the time on the face of Big Ben可以看出人們是從這個鐘的四個面看到時間的，所以答案是D。
（5）.詞義猜測題：由Each face is the size of a bus. The hands are about four meters long.，可以看出文中把Big Ben的表面寫成了face，按此推測，它的“手”應(yīng)該是這個鐘的指針。所以答案是C。
