题型：不详难度：来源：
One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.
小题1:Why does the writer write the first paragraph? | A．Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites. | | B．Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers. | | C．Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites. | | D．Because he wants to use readers’ similar life experience to understand the article better. |
小题2:By writing the second and third paragraphs, the writer seems to let the readers know__________.| A．anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad end | | B．what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the ground | | C．man with freedom can’t be like that kite which fell down | | D．the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite’s failure |
小题3:What does the underlined word “restriction” in the second paragraph probably mean? 小题4:In the writer’s opinion, ____________. | A．without restrictions and rules we can make endless progress | | B．kites are good examples to those who want to get freedom | | C．restrictions are necessary for us human beings | | D．we don’t need any freedom at all |

答案
小题1:D
小题2:A
小题3:A
小题4:B |
解析
试题分析：在一个有风的春日,我看到一群年轻人正在迎风放风筝，他们很漂亮，迎风飞起。在风中, 风筝好像要挣脱线的束缚。一只风筝挣脱了，它似乎在说：“终于自由了。”但是不久它就落在了地面，无力地躺在尘土中。人生就是如此。
小题1:细节理解题。问题：作者写第一段的目的是什么？分析阅读全文的第一段，作者想用读者相似的经历来让读者更好的理解文章。故选D
小题2:细节理解题。问题：写第二、三段，作者想让读者知道什么？分析原文：free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle句意：无力的躺在尘土之中，被风无助地吹在地上，在第一个障碍物前停止了生命。联系前文，这只风筝自由了，但是在最后却是悲伤的结局。结合选项，第一项符合。故选 A
小题3:细节理解题。问题：在第二段中划线词的意思？分析原文：They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string.句意：当他们与束缚的线进行斗争的时候，他们漂亮的升起。因此划线词为束缚之意。故选A
小题4:细节理解题。问题：作者的观点是什么？通过阅读全文得知，作者表面是在描述风筝的事件，实际上是在讲述一个人生哲理----如何获得自由。作者以风筝为例进行说明。故选B |

Why you should think big
If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, or an idea to develop, then you present it to everyone to increase its scope(范围). Why not make full use of it?
The fact is, when you have a strong enough vision(远见), you may have the courage. And then you simply have to pursue it, however crazy it might seem to others.
Remember that everything starts small
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Everything starts small. Scientists say that everything in the universe came from a smaller unit than you can possibly imagine. So it doesn’t matter where you are at present, because from small beginnings come great things.
Think bigger by enlisting(争取) others
To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who are better than you. If you’re not the most organized person, don’t just be unhappy about it; find someone who is better.
Big thinkers know their personal limitations(局限性). Gather people around you who can do what you can’t do to make sure your dream grows.
Think big by focusing on future regrets(遗憾)
There is an old saying, “We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn’t.” You’ll never know how far it could go unless you see how far you can take something.
If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you don’t try or attempt properly.
Feel that it is your human duty to think big
When something is probably a real service to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you don’t succeed at last, it is still valuable to think big.

If you don’t try, you will never know how far your idea could go.
Imagine how much regret you will have if you give up your big plans.
It is a human duty to think big and it is 小题5: trying.

Sneakers are a kind of shoes worn by many people all over the world. , no one really knows where the word “sneaker” came from. Some say it came from the old English verb “sneak”, which means to move silently and quickly. The only thing we are is that when you put on a pair of sneakers, you feel light-hearted, light-footed and ready to play.
Sneakers of some kind are used by those who play tennis, basketball, and other sports. New design has been made for people who run slowly. In fact American children of ages would much rather play in sneakers than anything else.
New York City once held a poetry competition for children. The subject was only “sneaker”. One prize winner called poem “The Sneaker and the World Peace”. “When everyone is wearing sneakers,” she said, “it will be impossible to .”
American school children can be seen every day sneakers of all colors. They put them on in the morning and take them off at bedtime. Sneakers are washed. Some children think the older and dirtier they are, the loveable they are. When their sneakers wear out, children hate to throw them off. How do you explain the closeness between and sneakers? Perhaps another young winner in the New York Poetry Contest said it best. “A shoe is just a shoe,” he said. “But a sneaker is a friend.”

Once upon a time all feelings went to an island for a vacation, and each was having a good time. Suddenly, a warning of a strong storm was announced ,so all rushed to their boats. Yet, Love did not wish to run away quickly. There was so much to do. But as the clouds darkened, Love realized it was time to leave. But there were no boats to spare. Love looked around with hope.
Just then Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love shouted, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can"t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity(虚荣) who was also passing by in a beautiful boat for help, But Vanity said with a cold voice, “No, I can’t take you with me. My boat will get dirty with your mummy feet.”
Sorrow passed by after some time. Again, Love asked for help. But it was useless. “No, I can’t take you with me. I am so sad. I want to be by myself.”
