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（殖民地）grow from tiny settlements（定居点） 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 fellowmen. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society and a fire prevention service. He worked hard to enable the American colonies to gain independence from (从获得独立) Britain.（12）As an ambassador（大使）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.（13）Hes still fondly（亲爱地, 深情地）remembered by Americans as one of the creators（创立者）of the United States.11. What did the speaker say about Benjamin Franklin? 12. How did Franklin help George Washington? 13. According to the passage, what is Franklin still well remembered as? Passage 2Yuppies are young people who earn a lot of money and live in a style that is too expensive for most people. （14）If you are invited to a Yuppie（雅皮士）dinner party, dont be surprised if you are offered freshly cooked insects as a first course. While the idea of eating fried insects fills most of us with horror, insect eating is becoming highly fashionable. For example, in the media industry, successful executives（经理） are often seen to eat fried or boiled insects from time to time while working at their desks.（15）These safe-to-eat insects can be found and ordered（订购）on the Internet. And young people are logging on to（登陆到）exotic（奇异的，外来的）food websites and ordering samples of prepared insects to serve at their dinner parties. Although the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting（恶心的）to most of us, few people would claim that pigs, chickens and some kinds of sea food we often eat are examples of great beauty. One day, insects could be marketed and sold as a food item in supermarkets.（16）According to their fans, they are not only high in protein（蛋白质）and low in fat, but also very tasty.（17）But until our attitudes to food change fundamentally（根本地）, it seems that insect eaters will remain a select（精选的）few. 14. Why did the speaker say we might be surprised at the Yuppie dinner party? 15. Where can people order the unusual food mentioned by the speaker?16. Why are some Yuppies attracted by the unusual food?17. What does the speaker say about the future of this type of unusual food?

They want to do some banking at night and on weekends. For such people, their problems may soon be over. Before long, they may be able to do their banking from the comfort of their own home any hour of the day, any day of the week. Many banks are preparing online branches（分行）or Internet offices, which means that people will be able to take care of（处理）much of their banking business through their home computers. This process is called interactive banking. At these online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts（帐户）, move money between their accounts, apply for a loan（贷款）and get current information on products such as credit cards(信用卡). Customers will also be able to pay their bills（付帐单）ele
