Question

【題目】

One day, a father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. When they arrived, there were already many adults and their children playing in the park. When the son saw the sky filled with colorful kites in different shapes, he was excited and wanted to get one, too.【1】. So they went to a kite shop and chose a beautiful one. With the string (線）in hand, the son started flying the kite. Soon, the kite was high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the string is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, the kite will be free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?” 【2】. Suddenly, the kite began to fly higher, which made the son much happier. However, to his surprise, the kite was coming down. They waited for quite some time. Slowly, it fell onto the grass. 【3】, “I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?” The father smiled and said, “The role of the string was not stopping the kite from flying higher, but helping it stay in the sky. Because the kite itself can’t fly up. By using the string you help the kite go up in the right direction. 【4】.” In our life, we may sometimes feel like there are certain things that are holding us back and stopping us from growing.

本文作者講述了剪斷了風箏線后，風箏就從天上掉到地上。從中我們可知，在我們的生活中，我們有時會覺得有些事情阻礙了我們的成長。但事實上，這些可能是最支持我們的東西。

【1】根據(jù)he was excited and wanted to get one, too.可知他也想要一個風箏，根據(jù)So they went to a kite shop and chose a beautiful one.可知，他們去商店選風箏，因此這里表示他父親同意給他買一個風箏， 故選B。

【2】根據(jù)I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?” 可知，此處表示風箏線剪斷了，故選D。

【3】根據(jù)However, to his surprise, the kite was coming down. They waited for quite some time. Slowly, it fell onto the grass.可知，因此風箏掉在地上了，所以兒子可能會傷心，根據(jù)Why did it fall down?可知此處表示問了一個問題， 故選A。

【4】根據(jù) By using the string you help the kite go up in the right direction.可知，風箏依靠風箏線可以沿著正確的方向向上，因此剪斷風箏線，它就不會支持風箏了，故選E。
