　　答案与解析

　　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了本杰明·富兰克林。

　　1．named　考查动词。句意：许多年以前，有一个叫富兰克林的一家人。此处named作family的后置定语。

　　2．a　考查冠词。句意：在1706年一月的某一天，他们的另外一个孩子出生了。此处a表示"某一......"。

　　3．cleverest　考查形容词最高级。句意：本杰明是所有孩子中最聪明的一个。故用cleverest。

　　4．when　考查时间状语从句。句意：五岁时他就能阅读。此处when引导时间状语从句，表示 "当......时候"。

　　5．to　考查动词短语。句意：第二年父母就把他送到了学校。send...to... "把某人送往某处"。

　　6．feet　考查名词单复数。前文on his hands中名词为复数，前后对等，所以此处用 feet。

　　7．Slowly　考查副词。句意：慢慢地，一双游泳鞋的图画在他的手中诞生。此处Slowly作状语。

　　8．swimming　考查形容词。修饰名词shoes，要用形容词swimming。

　　9．nor　考查副词。句意：这双鞋既不大也不小。neither...nor... "既不......也不......"。

　　10．invented　考查动词时态。句意：最后他发明了游泳浆。此处指过去，故用一般过去时invented。

One day I wrote a short story and showed to my teacher. She liked it very much that she read it to the class. Everyone said the story was the good one. I was great encouraged by their words.
