11、erest in the work of the student Goddard. The schools administration, to his surprise, did not expel him. He thus began his lifetime of fine work. In 1914,Goddard received two US patents. One was for a rocket using liquid fuel. The other was for a two- or three-stage rocket using solid fuel. By 1926
12、,Goddard had constructed and successfully tested the first rocket using liquid fuel. At that time, Goddards rockets left little impression on government officials. Only through modest amount of money from the Smithsonian Institution and the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation was Goddard able

32、so has his unique gift for invention. It was in honour of this brilliant scientist that NASAs Goddard Space Flight Centre in Greenbelt, Maryland, was set up on May 1,1959.”可知罗伯特哈 钦斯戈达德博士被认为是现代火箭推进之父,作为一个有洞察力的物理学家,戈达德 在发明方面也有他独特的天赋。1959 年 5月 1 日,为了纪念这位杰出的科学家,美国 国家航空和航天局在马里兰州格林贝尔特建立了戈达德太空飞行中心。由此可知,美 国
33、国家航空和航天局在格林贝尔特建立戈达德太空飞行中心的目的是向戈达德表示 敬意。故选 C。 2.A推理判断题。根据第二段“School officials took an immediate interest in the work of the student Goddard. The schools administration, to his surprise, did not expel him.”可 知学校官员立即对戈达德所做的事情感兴趣。令他惊讶的是,学校管理部门并没有开 除他。由此判断出,学校官员对戈达德在物理大楼的所作所为的反应是“他们想更多 地了解戈达德所做的事情”。故选 A。
