答案与解析：
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章通过讲述渴望自由的风筝的故事告诉我们一个道理：有些可能会令我们生气的约束，实际上是帮助我们提升自我和取得成功的动力。
1.D 依据语境，这里描述的是风筝在天空中，所以答案选D。float有很大的干扰性，但该词意为“漂浮”时，是不及物动词。
2.B 由下文“the restraining string”以及“the kites struggled and __6__ against the string”，可知，此处答案选B，string“线，细绳”。
3.D 风筝迎风飘向更高的地方，而不是随风而去，因此答案选D。
4.C 由常识以及下文叙述可知，风筝是迎风而上的，所以答案选C，upward“向上，往上”。backward“向后”;downward“向下”;forward“向前”，均不符合句意。
5.A as“当……时候”，引导时间状语从句。故答案选A。
6.B 这里描述的是风筝摆动着身体上升的样子，所以答案选B。resemble“类似”;dance“跳舞”;sing“唱歌”，均不符合语境。
7.C 既然是“Let me go!”那么此处应该是“我想获得自由”，因此答案选C。
8.A 句意为“即使是在摆脱风筝线控制时，它们依然在美丽地飞翔”。依据句意，答案选beautifully。separately“单独地”;simply“简单地”;skillfully“巧妙地”，均不符合语境。
9.C 联系全文语境可知，此处答案选C。generally“大体上”;unfortunately“不幸地”;really“真正地”，均不符合语境。
10.B 由下文“Free at last”可判断，此处指一只风筝成功地挣脱了细绳，因此答案选B。
11.A 由语境可知，挣脱了细绳，获得了自由的风筝，完全处于无情的风的摆布下。因此答案选A，at the mercy of“任由……摆布”。at the risk of“冒……危险”;at the sight of“一看见……”;at the expense of“以……为代价”，均不符合语境。
12.C 此处指风筝落在杂草丛中，所以应用介词in。
13.D 此处答案选D，lie“处于……状态”，而不是stand“耸立”。
14.C 依据语境，这里表示风筝无助地任风沿着地面将其吹走，因此答案选C。
15.B 此处作者有感而发：有时我们多么像风筝啊!所以答案选B，how much表示程度。
16.D 选项中的difficulty和adversity属于同一范畴，而这里指的是上文所说的束缚，因此答案选D。
17.A which引导定语从句，其先行词是“adversity(逆境)，__16__ and rules”，介词from表示来源。
18.B 依据语境，这里说的是像风筝一样往高处飞，因此答案B。下文“rise to great heights”也有暗示。
19.A 从上文“adversity(逆境)，__16__ and rules”可以推断，此处表示如果我们失去对手和规则，我们就不能达到自己的目标，因此答案选A，意为“对手”。
20.C 句意为“让我们提升自己的高度，并认识到：有些可能会令我们恼怒的约束，实际上是帮助我们提升自我和取得成功的动力”。依据句意，答案选C。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
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
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。从全文可知，他在纽约很久却还坚持认为自己在罗马，可见他缺乏常识。
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.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。从第二段中的“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
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。从第三段可知Mr.Scotti 看不到罗马著名且古老的标志，以为是现代化让罗马发生了变化，他认为这合乎情理;但实际上他根本不是在罗马，而是在纽约。
