Benjamin Franklin was America’s first internationally famous swimmer and swimmer teacher.
As a boy Franklin lived in Boston, on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. There, during the warm summers he learned to swim. In 1717, at the age of 11, he tried out an early invention, which may well have been the first swim fins (鱼鳍) [such as scuba (自携式水中呼吸器) divers use today]. He made the fins by fitting a kind of web-shaped wooden sandal to the soles of his feet. He soon realized, however, that his swimming kick was linked to the inside of his foot and ankle as well as to the sole. As it turned out, Franklin’s "flippers" were one of his least successful inventions.
Franklin was always interested in getting the fullest enjoyment from life. While flying a kite one day he had another idea. Wanting to amuse himself with the kite and still swim, he lay on his back, held the kite’s stick in his hands and was carried along the surface of the water. (Although he often swam in Boston Harbor afterwards, Ben never again tried this method of travel. This was a pity, for if he had worn those wooden sandals while being pulled along by the kite, he might have become the world’s first water-skier. )
Franklin continued to be a powerful swimmer, and once, during a long stay in London, he swam more than three miles down the Thames River. Not content with enjoying the sport, he studied manuals on swimming strokes and taught himself to do stunts (绝技、惊险动作) in the water. He even considered opening a swimming school in London, but instead returned to Philadelphia and other pursuits. When he founded the University of Pennsylvania in 1740, he introduced the first compulsory college swim program.
Franklin’s support for swimming may have come from his belief that even one’s leisure should be employed usefully. The overweight Franklin considered swimming a reducer of fatty tissue. His accomplishments in this sport were recognized in 1969, when he, along with 14 Olympic swimming champion, was introduced into the newly established "Swimming Hall of Fame" at Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
选项
A、Franklin, the Famous Swimming Teacher.
B、Franklin, the Great Inventor.
C、Franklin, the Founder of Swimming Schools.
D、Franklin, the Well-known Swimmer.
答案
D
解析
本题问文章的最佳标题是什么。通读全文,我们知道,文章第一段指出本杰明·弗兰克林是美国第一位世界知名的游泳健将和教练。之后文章的第二段、第三段、第四段和第五段分别叙述了弗兰克林从小到大都是为何游泳和如何游泳的。因此全文最佳标题应是:弗兰克林——闻名于世的游泳者。所以,本题的正确答案应是D。
