Few people can stand for the spirit of earlier America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived through almost the whole of the 18th century. He was born six years after the century began and died ten years before it ended. During this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation and he also contributed much to the new state. He was deeply interested in science and natural history and his experiments with the electricity and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, and a university, a philosophical society and a fire-prevention service. He worked hard to enable American colonies to gain independence from Britain. As Ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war, he attended the American Constitutional Congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that year. [18]He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United States.
16. What did the speaker say about Benjamin Franklin?
17. How did Franklin help George Washington?
18. According to the passage, what is Franklin still well remembered as?
选项
A、He set up the first university in America.
B、He was one of the earliest settlers in America.
C、He can best represent the spirit of early America.
D、He was the most distinguished diplomat in American history.
答案
C
解析
正确理解短文开头是答题的关键,“很少有人能像富兰克林那样代表早期的美国精神”,是一种表示最高级的方式,所以答案为C。其他三项都歪曲了原文的意思。
