Goddard once said that “the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow”.His scientific work gave hope to many dreams about space travel.He turned some of those dreams into reality. Over one hundred years ago,Goddard carried out studies and tests of rocket engines.He developed and flew many rockets that got their power from solid fuels:chemicals that formed a hard substance.In 1925,he made and tested the first rocket engine using a soft chemical fuel.The next year,he successfully launched the world’s first liquid-fuel rocket. Many historians consider liquid-fuel rocket flight to be as important as the first airplane flight by the American brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright.Goddard’s work proved that machines could travel outside of Earth’s atmosphere and into space. During his early research,he received money and support from the US Smithsonian Institution.The Smithsonian published several reports about his efforts. One publication in 1919,called A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes,wrote about his search for ways to send weather recording instruments higher than balloons could fly.It described how he developed the mathematical theories for rocket flight.In that report,Goddard also suggested the possibility of a rocket someday reaching the moon.At the time,there was a big dispute in the press about this claim.Many people thought he was foolish for suggesting something that seemed so impossible. Many of Goddard’s ideas are still used in rocket development.So,in a way,every rocket that flies today could be considered a Goddard rocket. 1.What makes NASA highly praise Goddard? A.His various dreams and efforts. B.His first airplane experiment. C.His rocket experiments and research. D.His rocket power theory and predictions. 2.What does the underlined word “dispute” in paragraph 6 mean? A.Challenge. B.Breakthrough. C.Disagreement. D.Inspiration. 3.Which can best describe Robert Goddard? A.Intellectual and creative. B.Adventurous but self-centered. C.Cooperative but inefficient. D.Romantic and humorous. 4.What can we know about Goddard from the text? A.Many of his theories are still useful in developing rockets. B.He made the first rocket engine in 1919. C.His first book about his study was published in 1926. D.He launched the world’s first liquid-fuel rocket in 1925. B (2026福建南平高二下月考) Young couple revives a centuries-old furnace(熔炉),blending inherited craft with contemporary ceramic(陶瓷的) design. In Shekeng village in Sanming city,Fujian Province,the smoke curling from a pottery kiln(窑) has borne silent witness to the passage of time.The kiln,standing for more than 200 years,now breathes with renewed vitality with the care of a couple born in the 1990s. Returning to their roots,Wu Zejian and Ma Jingwen have taken up the responsibility not only to safeguard an ancient craft but also to rekindle(重新激起) its potential through modern design,allowing the fire of the kiln to glow with contemporary resonance. A graduate from the Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts,Wu holds a firm belief that the kiln’s fire burning for generations in his family will never die out.His ambition is to build a brand that channels new energy and relevance into this age-old craft through thoughtful,modern design. As the inheritor of the family craft,Wu stays true to tradition,using local clay and raw mineral glazes.His father,Wu Yusong,provides invaluable guidance shaped by decades of hands-on experience. While Wu Zejian lights the fire for a new batch of ceramics,Ma brings psychological insight and contemporary sensibilities into product design.Focusing on coarse pottery and ash-glazed products,they emphasize craftsmanship and design. “We want to give each piece a soul and a story.Through a touching phrase or a unique design,an ordinary cup can become an emotional vessel,a spiritual symbol for its user,” Ma says. Through branding and innovative design,the couple aims to make their brand a cultural landmark that fosters a sense of identity and connection among users. Looking ahead,they hope the millennium-old kiln fire will illuminate broader horizons.As newly fired porcelain(瓷) emerges from the kiln,the couple’s blueprint for the future grows increasingly clear. 5.What motivated the couple to return to their hometown? A.To learn elders’ traditional skills. B.To revive ancient craft in new ways. C.To brand their ceramics. D.To carry on the family craft as inheritors. 6.What is Wu Zejian’s specific role in the kiln’s revival? A.Using psychology in product design. B.Handling the brand’s marketing. C.Firing ceramics and keeping old ways. D.Specializing in coarse pottery. 7.What is the couple’s design philosophy? A.Creating cultural landmarks via branding. B.Using touching words and unique designs. C.Fostering users’ sense of identity. D.Enriching daily objects with deeper meaning. 8.This text is mainly written to 　　　.  A.record the history of an old kiln B.argue for the protection of old crafts C.teach readers how to make pottery D.present a couple’s revival of an old tradition 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.revive v.　　　　　　　　  2.inherited adj.　　　　　  二、词块速记 1.blend A with B 　　　　　　　　  2.take up the responsibility 　　　　　　  三、长难句分析 Returning to their roots,Wu Zejian and Ma Jingwen have taken up the responsibility not only to safeguard an ancient craft but also to rekindle its potential through modern design,allowing the fire of the kiln to glow with contemporary resonance. 分析:本句是一个较为复杂的　　　　　　。Returning to their roots为现在分词短语作　　　　　　　;not only...but also...为并列连词结构,连接两个不定式短语作　　　　　　　,共同修饰名词 responsibility;allowing the fire of the kiln to glow with contemporary resonance为现在分词短语作　　　　　　　,表示主句动作带来的　　　　　　　。  句意:  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.lens　2.grocery　3.faraway　4.celebrity　5.craft Ⅱ.1.with　2.fashionable　3.uncomplicated　4.for　5.for Ⅲ.1.a wide range of traditional crafts　2.put her heart into restoring antiques　3.have I believed so firmly　4.It is my passion for traditional culture　5.No matter what difficulties we meet Ⅳ.Activity 1 1.posed a challenge to himself　2.his initial lack of experience;his passion for self-improvement　3.every training session was tough　4.His devotion to this goal　5.was fascinated by the feeling of crossing the finish line　6.reminded himself of his determination　7.Fashion trends in sportswear　8.he kept at it　9.ran with all his might Activity 2 In the school’s track and field arena,Ben posed a challenge to himself by signing up for the grueling 5000-meter race.Despite his initial lack of experience,his passion for self-improvement burned bright.At first,every training session was tough,and he often lagged behind others.However,his devotion to this goal never wavered.He was fascinated by the feeling of crossing the finish line,exhausted but triumphant.With each lap,he reminded himself of his determination.Fashion trends in sportswear didn’t matter to him,but what counted was his perseverance.Day after day,he kept at it.Finally,on the race day,he ran with all his might,showing that with unyielding dedication,one can overcome any obstacle. Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Robert Goddard在火箭科学领域的贡献与影响。 1.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The American space agency NASA describes him as ‘the father of modern rocket propulsion’.”以及第三段和第四段中关于Goddard的火箭实验和研究的描述可知,NASA高度赞扬Goddard是因为他的火箭实验和研究。故选C项。 2.C　词句猜测题。根据第六段中的“At the time,there was a big dispute in the press about this claim.Many people thought he was foolish for suggesting something that seemed so impossible.”可知,许多人认为Goddard提出的理论是不可能实现的,所以应该存在很多的争议,由此可推测,dispute意为“争议,分歧”,与Disagreement意思相近。故选C项。 3.A　推理判断题。根据文章中对Goddard的描述,他进行了多项火箭实验和研究,提出了许多关于火箭飞行的数学理论,并成功发射了世界上第一枚液体燃料火箭,他的许多想法至今仍在火箭开发中使用。由此可推断,Goddard是一个聪明且有创造力的人。故选A项。 4.A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Many of Goddard’s ideas are still used in rocket development.”可知,Goddard的许多理论在火箭开发中仍然有用。故选A项。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了90后夫妇吴泽缄与马静文返乡复兴家族古老窑炉的故事,介绍了他们如何将传统制陶工艺与现代设计理念相结合,在坚守传统的同时通过创新赋予老手艺新的生命力,并展望了他们的品牌愿景。 5.B　细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,他们返乡不仅是为了保护古老工艺,更是为了通过现代设计重燃其潜力。故选B项。 6.C　细节理解题。根据第五段和第六段内容可知,吴泽缄的具体角色是烧制陶瓷并坚守传统方法。故选C项。 7.D　细节理解题。根据第七段内容可知,这对夫妇的设计理念是通过赋予日常物品更深的意义来丰富它们。故选D项。 8.D　推理判断题。通读全文,文章围绕90后夫妇吴泽缄与马静文返乡复兴古老窑炉的故事展开,介绍了他们的背景、分工、设计理念和未来愿景,即文章的主要目的是呈现一对夫妇复兴古老传统的故事。故选D项。 知识积累卡 一、1.复兴;使复苏　2.传承的 二、1.把A与B融合　2.承担责任 三、简单句　伴随状语　后置定语　结果状语　自然结果 吴泽缄和马静文回归故土,不仅承担起守护古老工艺的责任,还通过现代设计重新激发其潜力,让窑火在当代焕发出新的共鸣。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
