Who is the most important person in the United States? Someone will say Thomas Jefferson, some will say Washington and I believe most people will say it’s Benjamin Franklin.
Often called "the first American" and "the last universal man", Benjamin Franklin’s life covered most of the eighteenth century-- from 1706 to 1790. He was America’s first great scientist and engineer and an author and philosopher of rare wit. He was one of the first supporters of the federal system of government and one of the great educational pioneers of his day. He was a successful businessman, a believer in free enterprise, and a statesman and diplomat. He truly seemed able to do almost everything.
Always curious, Franklin looked for easier and better ways to do things. He invented an open stove which gave more heat and wasted less fuel than a fireplace. It is still used in many places today. He also made the first pair of bifocal glasses and invented a musical instrument called the harmonica and the stepladder chair.
Franklin was especially famous as an early experimenter in electricity. On a June day in 1752, during a thunderstorm, he flew a silken kite up into the stormy sky. As a black cloud swept across the kite, a key attached to the kite string became charged with electricity. Thus, he proved that lightning and electricity are the same. Using this knowledge, he invented the lightning rod which today protects millions of buildings from lightning.
选项
A、The World War II.
B、The World War I.
C、The American Revolution.
D、The Industrial Revolution of Britain.
答案
C
解析
What event happened in the life of Franklin?
四个选项均为具体事件,因此推测本题主要询问的是事件发生的时间。
根据问题来找出答案,问题是,在Franklin的一生有什么事发生,从1706—1790年,一战、二战均发生在 20世纪,故排除A)、B);英国的工业革命出现在大约16世纪,排除D)。因此我们断定美国革命大概出现在 1740—1794年之间,因此本题选C)。
