【答案】

1F

2B

3A

4C

5D

6E

【解析】

文章讲述了电是怎么发明的,以及单位“瓦特”的由来。

1句意:当本杰明富兰克林在暴雨中放风筝时,电并没有开始。

根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“放风筝”,英语是fly a kite,而前句用的是过去时,所以这里应该也用过去时,fly的过去式是flew,故选F

2句意:电虽然看不见,但一直存在。

根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“虽然,尽管”,英语是although,是一个连词,在英语中引导让步状语从句,故选B

3句意:我们都听说过一些著名的科学家。

根据句意理解及后句such as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison可知,这里表达的是“著名的”,英语是famous,在句中作定语,修饰后面的名词scientists,故选A

4句意:但许多其他重要的发明家已被埋葬在历史中。

根据句意理解及后句Back in ancient Greece, scientists began to study electricity.可知,这里表达的是“历史”,英语是history,故选C

5句意:2000多年后的1600年,英国科学家威廉·吉尔伯特在一份报告中首次使用了“电”这个词。

根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“第一次”,英语中表达“第几”要用序数词,所以这里应该用first,故选D

6句意:当爱迪生的发电机与詹姆斯瓦特的蒸汽机相连时,终于可以产生大量的电。

根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“连接”,英语是be connected with,而文章讲述的是过去的事情,所以这里be动词应该用过去时,而句子主语是generator,是单数名词,所以这里的be动词应该用was,故选E
