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。
