【答案解析】 [解析] 根据文中the weapon of Gods可知。故本题答案为B。 [听力原文]
<17>-<20>. In the earliest times, men considered
lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient people
believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods. In reality
lightning is a flow of electricity from high above the earth.
The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to
show the connection between electricity 'and lightning in 1752. In the same year
he also built the first lightning rod. This device protects buildings from
damage by lightning. In the United States alone lightning kills
an average of one person every day. The safest place to be in case of an
electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and
not get under trees. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal
fences. Inside a house, people should avoid opening doors and windows and touch
wires or metal things.
