【解析】

文章讲述了作者侄子10岁的儿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。这个故事告诉我们，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，应该一开始就寻求我们所能利用的条件。

【1】B 考查动词辨析。live生活，居住；stay待在；study学习；lie说谎，位于。根据上文可知，天太热，所以“我”说服他待在(stay)家里玩游戏。故B正确。

【2】A 考查动词辨析。play玩耍；rest休息；fight打架；select选择。“我们”已经玩了(playing)一个小时的游戏，所以“我”建议我们休息一会。故A正确。

【3】C 考查动词短语。clean up清理；jump off跳下，开始行动；fall into掉进，陷入；cut down砍倒。本句中fall into表示躺在躺椅里，让颈部肌肉放松。其余三项与上下文不搭配。故C正确。

【4】A 考查名词辨析。moment时刻；hour小时；time次数；period时期，时代。孩子走开以后“我”享受了安静的时刻，C项语义不搭配，B、D项时间太长。故A正确。

【5】B 考查动词辨析。send发送，派遣；run奔跑；leave离开；climb攀登。本句使用run表示他兴奋的心情，看到了一个风筝，要求我和他一起出去放风筝。其余三项不符题意。

【6】D 考查动词辨析。decorate装饰，装修；drop扔下，放弃；hang悬挂；fly飞行，放飞。本句中fly与名词kite连用，表示“放风筝”。故D正确。

【7】B 考查上下文串联。hot热；still静止的；noisy吵闹的；fine好的。根据上下文以及该空所在的句子The wind is not __9__ today. The kite won’t fly.可知当天风不大，风筝飞不起来。still“静止的”，说明几乎没有风，所以B项正确。

【8】B 考查形容词辨析。bright明亮的；unhappy不高兴的；dull乏味的；satisfied满意的；因为“我”告诉他风很小，风筝飞不起来，所以他很不高兴。故B正确。

【9】D 考查动词辨析。动词stay逗留，停留；stop停止；go走；blow吹动。本句使用动词blow表示风吹动。其余三项与上下文不搭配。故D正确。

【10】C 考查上下文串联。clever聪明的；talented有天赋的；determined意志坚定的；generous慷慨的。根据I think it’s windy enough. I can get it to fly可知他一定要去放风筝，说明他意志坚定。故C正确。

【11】C 考查连词辨析。after在……后；unless除非，如果不……；as当……时；until直到……才……。当他跑出后门的时候，他说：我认为风足够了，我能把风筝放起来的。根据句意可知as符合上下文语境。

【12】C 考查副词辨析。actively活跃的；hardly几乎不；hard努力地；gradually逐渐地。句子中的as hard as表示“尽力地，努力地”，因此答案选C。

【13】D考查副词辨析。副词angrily生气地；nervously紧张地；doubtfully怀疑地；hopefully充满希望地。当他拉着风筝在跑的时候，充满希望地回头看，希望风筝能够飞起来。故D正确。

【14】A 考查动词辨析。go进展，进行；come来；make生产，制作；settle安家，定居。本句中go表示事情的进展情况。故A正确。

【15】B 考查连词辨析。therefore因此；however然而；instead反而；again又，再。根据上下文可知此处表示转折关系，故答案选B。

【16】A 考查上下文串联。wind风；order命令；news新闻，消息；sunshine阳光。他没有把风筝放起来，是因为风力不够，所以他自言自语说要等着有风。故A正确。

【17】A 考查名词辨析。heart心；memory记忆；dream梦想；world世界。此刻“我”听见另外一个声音对“我”的内心说：Alice，有时候你就是这样。你总是想用你的方式做事情，而不是等着有风。故A正确。

【18】B 考查介词短语辨析。短语because of因为；instead of代替，而不是；except for除……之外；as for关于，至于。你总是想用你的方式做事情，而不是“请求别人帮助”。故B正确。

【19】B 考查形容词辨析。strange奇怪的；right正确的；serious严肃的；boring无聊的。根据下文的句意可知此处表示这个声音是正确的，故选B。

【20】D 考查动词辨析。imagine想象；decide决定；fancy想象；complete完成。我们总是想用我们的努力去完成我们想要做的事情。故D项正确。
