【解析】

本文讲述了放风筝的历史，放风筝应注意天气是否适合放风筝，以及放风筝应找一个开阔的地方。

【1】句意：人们放风筝至少2000年了。

fly kites放风筝，根据for at least two thousand years此处用现在完成时，主语people是复数形式，谓语用复数形式，故为have flown。

【2】句意：据说，在1750年，本杰明·富兰克林在雷雨中放风筝以证实闪电是电。

It is said that+从句，表示“据说……”，故选is said。

【3】句意：不管你为什么放风筝，都要注意天气是否适合放风筝。

pay attention to注意，此处是祈使句，谓语用动词原形，故选pay。

【4】句意：下雨的时候，不要放风筝。

根据前文的the weather for good kite-flying conditions此处表示适合放风筝的天气，因此下雨的时候不适合放风筝，主语it是第三人称单数，谓语用第三人称形式，故选rains。

【5】句意：最好找一个开阔的地方。

根据后文的Don’t let your kite be eaten by a tree or bump into people, buildings or power lines.可知，不要让你的风筝被树挂住，或撞到人、建筑物或电线上。因此找一个开阔的地方，根据句型It’s better to do sth“最好做某事”，故选to find。
