【3】句意：如果我们切断它，它将是自由的并且会飞得更高。

small小的；big大的；busy忙碌的；free自由的。根据“Father, it seems that the string is stopping the kites from flying higher.”可知，儿子认为线阻碍了风筝飞得更高，所以想剪断线给风筝自由，故选D。

【4】句意：风筝开始往更高处飞。

higher更高；closer更近；slower更慢；harder更难，更努力。根据“This made the little boy happy.”可知，剪断线后风筝如男孩的愿飞得更高了，故选A。

【5】句意：但是后来，慢慢地，风筝开始坠落。
