答案與解析：
本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。文章通過講述渴望自由的風箏的故事告訴我們一個道理：有些可能會令我們生氣的約束，實際上是幫助我們提升自我和取得成功的動力。
1.D 依據(jù)語境，這里描述的是風箏在天空中，所以答案選D。float有很大的干擾性，但該詞意為“漂浮”時，是不及物動詞。
2.B 由下文“the restraining string”以及“the kites struggled and __6__ against the string”，可知，此處答案選B，string“線，細繩”。
3.D 風箏迎風飄向更高的地方，而不是隨風而去，因此答案選D。
4.C 由常識以及下文敘述可知，風箏是迎風而上的，所以答案選C，upward“向上，往上”。backward“向后”;downward“向下”;forward“向前”，均不符合句意。
5.A as“當……時候”，引導時間狀語從句。故答案選A。
6.B 這里描述的是風箏擺動著身體上升的樣子，所以答案選B。resemble“類似”;dance“跳舞”;sing“唱歌”，均不符合語境。
7.C 既然是“Let me go!”那么此處應該是“我想獲得自由”，因此答案選C。
8.A 句意為“即使是在擺脫風箏線控制時，它們依然在美麗地飛翔”。依據(jù)句意，答案選beautifully。separately“單獨地”;simply“簡單地”;skillfully“巧妙地”，均不符合語境。
9.C 聯(lián)系全文語境可知，此處答案選C。generally“大體上”;unfortunately“不幸地”;really“真正地”，均不符合語境。
10.B 由下文“Free at last”可判斷，此處指一只風箏成功地掙脫了細繩，因此答案選B。
11.A 由語境可知，掙脫了細繩，獲得了自由的風箏，完全處于無情的風的擺布下。因此答案選A，at the mercy of“任由……擺布”。at the risk of“冒……危險”;at the sight of“一看見……”;at the expense of“以……為代價”，均不符合語境。
12.C 此處指風箏落在雜草叢中，所以應用介詞in。
13.D 此處答案選D，lie“處于……狀態(tài)”，而不是stand“聳立”。
14.C 依據(jù)語境，這里表示風箏無助地任風沿著地面將其吹走，因此答案選C。
15.B 此處作者有感而發(fā)：有時我們多么像風箏啊!所以答案選B，how much表示程度。
16.D 選項中的difficulty和adversity屬于同一范疇，而這里指的是上文所說的束縛，因此答案選D。
17.A which引導定語從句，其先行詞是“adversity(逆境)，__16__ and rules”，介詞from表示來源。
18.B 依據(jù)語境，這里說的是像風箏一樣往高處飛，因此答案B。下文“rise to great heights”也有暗示。
19.A 從上文“adversity(逆境)，__16__ and rules”可以推斷，此處表示如果我們失去對手和規(guī)則，我們就不能達到自己的目標，因此答案選A，意為“對手”。
20.C 句意為“讓我們提升自己的高度，并認識到：有些可能會令我們惱怒的約束，實際上是幫助我們提升自我和取得成功的動力”。依據(jù)句意，答案選C。
Ⅲ.閱讀理解
The least successful tourist on record is Mr.Nicholas Scotti who lived in San Francisco in the United States.In 1977 he decided to visit Rome in Italy because that was where his family originally came from.
He went to the airport i
n San Francisco and got on a plane which was going to Italy.However，because the plane had to make a fuel stop，it landed at Kennedy Airport in New York.Thinking that he had arrived，Mr.Scotti got off and spent two days in New York，believing that he was in Rome.
While he was wandering around the city，the great traveler could not help noticing that many of Rome's famous and ancient landmarks had disappeared.This must be due to modernization，he thought to himself.
Mr.Scotti，who spoke very little English，asked a policeman the way to the bus station.Naturally he spoke to the policeman in Italian.As chance would have it，the policeman replied in Italian because he，too，was an Italian immigrant who had only arrived in America a few years earlier.
Mr.Scotti then saw around New York for twelve hours in a bus.Eventually the bus driver handed him over to another policeman.Unfortunately，this policeman did not speak Italian and Mr.Scotti got very annoyed and wanted to know why an Italian policeman could not speak Italian.
Finally，even when the policeman told him that he was not in Italy but was in New York，Mr.Scotti refused to believe him.“I can't be in New York，” he said.“I must be in Rome.Look at the way people drive here.Only Italians can drive like that!”
1.The reason why Mr.Scotti is the least successful tourist is that ________.
A.he lacked common sense
B.he had very bad luck
C.he was too clever to believe others
D.Italians are usually foolish
答案與解析：A 推理判斷題。從全文可知，他在紐約很久卻還堅持認為自己在羅馬，可見他缺乏常識。
2.What happened to Scotti's plane in New York?
A.It broke down.
B.It needed repairing.
C.It needed oil filling.
D.It stopped to pick up more passengers.
答案與解析：C 細節(jié)理解題。從第二段中的“because the plane had to make a fuel stop”可知答案。
3.Mr.Scotti couldn't see Rome's famous landmarks，______.
A.which he thought wonderful
B.which made him very angry
C.which he considered reasonable
D
.so he realized that he was not in Rome
答案與解析：C 推理判斷題。從第三段可知Mr.Scotti 看不到羅馬著名且古老的標志，以為是現(xiàn)代化讓羅馬發(fā)生了變化，他認為這合乎情理;但實際上他根本不是在羅馬，而是在紐約。
