本文是記敘文。短文描述了愛好放風(fēng)箏的拉里·戴制作風(fēng)箏、舉辦風(fēng)箏節(jié)的故事。

【1】句意：放風(fēng)箏有悠久的歷史。

根據(jù)后一句2000年前，在中國，人們有把布放飛到空中的習(xí)俗，可知是有悠久的歷史，故填history。

【2】句意：人們可以獨(dú)自放風(fēng)箏或者跟朋友及家人一起放。

與跟他人一起放風(fēng)箏相對的是獨(dú)自放飛，故填alone。

【3】句意：他制作不同形狀和大小的風(fēng)箏。

根據(jù)后面的可數(shù)名詞shapes和sizes可知是不同的，故填different。

【4】句意：他還喜歡把作品帶到公共活動場所和別人分享。

短語share sth. with sb.和某人分享，故填with。

【5】句意：風(fēng)箏節(jié)在每年的二月在愛荷華州的克萊爾湖舉辦。

這里指代上一句的Color the Wind節(jié)日，用代詞It。故填It。

【6】句意：這個節(jié)日給冬天的天空增添了某種色彩氣氛，給人們添加了外出的理由。

在冬季放風(fēng)箏，增添了某種彩色的東西，故填something。

【7】句意：他喜歡他的風(fēng)箏在空中高高飛翔時的快樂感覺。

結(jié)合句意可知要用when表示“當(dāng)……時”，引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句。故填when。

【8】句意：我喜歡風(fēng)箏的原因是你不得不嘗試，而不是一直成功。

根據(jù)必須嘗試風(fēng)箏，可知不是一直成功，故填succeed。
