Chinese Kites were first invented about 2,000 years ago. At about the 12th century, kites were introduced to western countries. Later, with the endless development, the different cultures of kites were slowly formed in both eastern and western countries. During the kites' development, some special local culture about kites formed after connecting with Chinese traditional culture and the skill of making kites and presenting some stories, flowers, birds, animals, and some patterns about luck on kites.
At first, kites were used in military things. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the society began to develop well, so kites were used in the area of entertainment instead of in military things. Besides, the material for making kites was silk at first. Later, people used paper to make kites because of the fast development of paper. When the Song Dynasty came, it had become a job to make kites. And it was during the period of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty that the skill of making kites developed fast. At that time, people made kites and painted on the kites by themselves and then flew those kites or gave them to their relatives and friends. What's more, they thought this as an artistic activity. Recently, kites in China have been fully developed and flying kites has widely spread as a popular sport.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）A
（3）D
（4）B
【解析】本文介紹風(fēng)箏的起源和發(fā)展歷史。
⑴細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段Chinese Kites were first invented about 2,000 years ago可知風(fēng)箏有大約2000年的歷史。故選C。
⑵詞義猜測。show展示；record記錄；remind提醒；使想起；offer提供。根據(jù)句意：在風(fēng)箏的發(fā)展中，在把中國的傳統(tǒng)文化和制作風(fēng)箏的技能結(jié)合并在風(fēng)箏上呈現(xiàn)出一些故事、花朵、鳥、獸以及一些關(guān)于好運的圖案后，關(guān)于一些特別關(guān)于風(fēng)箏的當(dāng)?shù)匚幕�形成了。所以present意思是呈現(xiàn)、展示，故選A。
⑶細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段可知，風(fēng)箏開始被應(yīng)用于軍事上，在唐代，隨著社會的發(fā)展，風(fēng)箏被用于娛樂；后來由于紙的快速發(fā)展，人們用紙做風(fēng)箏；宋代制作風(fēng)箏成為一種職業(yè)；在明清時期，人們自己制作風(fēng)箏去放或者送給親戚朋友。近來風(fēng)箏得到充分的發(fā)展和傳播從而成為一種流行的運動。所以正確順序是D。
⑷主旨大意。通讀文章不難看出本文講述風(fēng)箏的起源和發(fā)展，所以正確答案是B。
