Benjamin Banneker was born a few months before another great American—George Washington.Benjamin was black, but he was not a slave.He and his mother and his grandmother were free.
Benjamin's grandmother came from England.In America she got a job and worked for many years to pay for her boat trip across the ocean.After working many more years, she saved enough money to buy a farm.Benjamin lived with her for a while.She taught him to read and write and do arithmetic.
Benjamin's neighbors knew that he was clever.They were not surprised when he built a large wooden clock.He made each piece after studying a small pocket watch.The clock made him famous, for it was one of the first clocks built in America.People from other places began to send hard problems of all kinds for Benjamin to settle.
Thomas Jefferson learned of Benjamin Banneker's ability to settle hard problems.He asked Banneker to help build the city that was to be the capital of the United States—Washington, D.C.
Banneker worked hard on the plans for the city.He marked where the
streets and buildings—the Capital (国会大厦), the White House, and many others─should be built.
Later, L'Enfant, the Frenchman who had designed the new city, had a
quarrel, and went back to France in anger.He took all of the plans with him.The workmen couldn't build without any plans to follow.
For a while it seemed that the plans for the capital might have to be
changed.But Benjamin Banneker remembered the plans he had helped draw.He drew each again just as he once had built each piece of his clock.
If it weren't for Benjamin Banneker, Washington, D.C.might look very different from the way it does today.

Lucille Clifton, the AwardWinning Poet, was the First African American Poet Laureate of Maryland. Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time.
Lucille Clifton was born Thelma Lucille Sayles in Depew, New York in 1936. She was named Thelma after her mother. Lucille was the name of one of her father's ancestors. When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille.
Lucille Clifton began writing poetry when she was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother, Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother's lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew.
While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling. He would tell Lucille interesting stories about her ancestors, especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia. Lucille Clifton wrote about it in her poem called “Lucy”.
She often talked about her love for words. She loved the sound of words and the way the words felt in her mouth. She loved finding interesting ways to use words to express what was happening in the world.
Unlike her mother, Lucille Clifton's poetry was anything but traditional. Her poems do not rhyme or follow a special kind of pattern. They do not use fancy words. They do not deal in makebelieve. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual, relaxed language. There is very little punctuation(标点) and even less capitalization. Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art.
15.Which of the following may be the reason why Lucille Clifton chose to call herself Lucille instead of Thelma?
A.To show her love to her mother.
B.To show her love to her beloved teacher.
C.To show respect to her greatgrandmother.
D.To show her respect to a great poet.
16.From the passage, we know that Lucille Clifton is ________.
A.funny
B.creative
C.selfish
D.beautiful
17.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Lucille Clifton's great works.
B.Lucille Clifton's poem background.
C.Lucille Clifton's poem style.
D.Lucille Clifton's poem words.
18.The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________.
A.Samuel Clifton
B.Samuel Clifton's experience
C.Samuel Clifton's grandmother
D.Lucille's great grandmother's story
