(广东省惠州市2019－2020学年高三上学期第三次调研)
My nephew came for a visit one hot，July weekend.I persuaded him to stay inside by joining him in a Nintendo game.After being mercilessly defeated by a more experienced player，I suggested that we relax for a while.He slipped out of the room and I caught a few moments of peace and quiet.
“Look，Alice，” he said enthusiastically as he ran over to the chair where I was recovering.“I found a kite.Could we go outside and fly it？”
Glancing out of a nearby window，I noticed there was not a breeze(微风)．“I’m sorry，Tripper，” I said，sad to see his disappointed eyes，but thankful for the short period of rest from more activities.“The wind is not blowing today.The kite won’t fly.”
The determined 10-year-old replied.“I think it’s windy enough.I can get it to fly，” he answered，as he hurried out through the back door.I peeked through the curtains to watch determination in action.Up and down the yard he ran，pulling the kite attached to a small length of string.The plastic kite，proudly displaying a picture of Batman，remained about shoulder level.
He ran back and forth，as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him，looking back hopefully at the kite trailing behind.After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination，he came back in.
I asked，“How did it go？” “Fine，” he said，“I got it to fly some.” As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf，I heard him say under his breath，“I guess I’ll have to wait for the wind.”
At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart.“Alice，sometimes you are just like that.You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind.” And the voice was right.We usually want to use our own efforts to accomplish what we want to do.We wait for the wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted our own strength.We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!

【答案】 1.D 2.B 3.C 4.B
【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了“我”10 岁的侄子在一个风平浪静的日子里执意要去放风筝，但不管他如何跑来跑去，风筝依旧飞不起来；无奈，他只能决定等有了风再去放风筝。由此引发作者的感悟，我们人类往往会按照自己的意愿行事，而不管有无“东风”，不管客观条件是否允许。
1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段的第一句“Glancing out of a nearby window，I noticed there was not a breeze(微风)”和最后一句“The wind is not blowing today.The kite won’t fly.”，可知作者觉得当天没有风，风筝根本飞不起来，D选项正确。B、C均是干扰项，文中的确有提及作者想要放松(玩游戏被打败之后)，享受宁静时光(外甥打完游戏溜出去的那一瞬)，均位于第一段，不是发生在外甥想放风筝之时(第三段)，回答此题需要特别注意圈定答题区间。故选D。
2．推理判断题。本题要求判断外甥的性格特点，结合全文的情节，Tripper在玩游戏时赢了作者，接着找到了风筝，在没有风的情况下，不顾“我”的劝阻，还是坚持放风筝，无功而返之后仍不轻言放弃，最后还低声说一定要等到起风了出去放风筝，说明了Tripper是个做事坚持(insistent)的人。故选B。
3．推理判断题。根据第五段中“我”问他风筝怎么样时，他的回答“I got it to fly some”可知，他并不承认自己被没有风的现实打败，并不愿意认输，C正确A、B错误；但同时他清楚风筝其实飞不起来，所以才说“I guess I’ll have to wait for the wind”，因此D中“with the kite flying.”有事实性错误。故选C。
4．标题判断题。综合全文，作者通过一个小故事，在最后一段提出自己的感想感悟，“You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind.”，并进行了展开论述：不要一味盲目地只凭借自己的力量去完成我们想做的事情，不要出“盲力”，应该一开始就寻求我们所能利用的条件，学会“借东风”，而这个有利条件，文章中用wind一词来象征。故选B。
