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 en couraged 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. He is still fondly re membered 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 provided Washington with a lot of money.
B、He persuaded France to support Washington.
C、He served as a general in Washington’s army.
D、He represented Washington in negotiations with Britain.
答案
B
解析
录音中提到“在他担任驻法大使时,鼓励法国人帮助华盛顿”,判断答案为B。B项中的persuaded和support分别对应录音中的encouraged和help。
