【解析】

本文主要讲述的是一则人生哲理小故事。父亲按照儿子的要求剪断了风筝线，一开始风筝飞得更高，但是后来风筝掉到了地面上。父亲以此告诉孩子，有些东西看似阻碍了我们，但正是这些阻碍支撑着我们前进。

1.句意：当儿子看到天空中五颜六色的风筝时，他也想放风筝。

make制作；fly飞；draw绘画。根据后文“The son started to fly the kite”可知，儿子也想放风筝，故用动词fly。故选B。

2.句意：爸爸，这根线好像在阻止风筝飞得更高。

wind风；rain雨；string线。根据后文“The father cut the string (线) off.”可知，男孩认为是风筝线阻止风筝飞得更高。故选C。

3.句意：如果我们剪掉它，它就会自由地飞得更高。

free自由的；over上面的；lost失去的。根据语境可知，男孩儿认为剪断风筝线后，风筝就会得到自由从而飞得更高。故选A。

4.句意：这让小男孩儿高兴。

interested感兴趣的；happy高兴的；surprised惊讶的。根据前文“The kite started to go higher.”可知，风筝飞得更高了，所以小男孩感到高兴。故选B。

5.句意：它很快就落到地上了。

got得到；turned转动；fell落下。根据后文“Why did it fall(落下)down?”可知，风筝在失去风筝线的情况下很快就落到了地面。故选C。

6.句意：我以为剪断线后，风筝会飞得更高。

longer更长的；higher更高的；faster更快的。根据前文“If we cut it, it will be free and fly even higher”可知，小男孩认为剪断风筝线后，风筝会飞得更高。故选B。

7.句意：这根线并没有阻止风筝飞得更高，而是帮助它留在空中。

stay停留；stop停下；play玩。根据语境可知，风筝线是为了支撑风筝停留在空中的。故选A。

8.句意：你用线把风筝拉向正确的方向。

middle中间的；left左边的；right正确的。根据语境可知，风筝线可以帮助我们把握好风筝的正确方向。故选C。

9.句意：但当你剪断线时，它再也无法支撑风筝了。

keep保持；support支撑；fly飞。根据后文“these might be the things that support (支持) us the most”及语境可知，风筝线是支撑风筝停留在空中的动力，当你剪断它时，它就再也无法支撑了。故选B。

10.句意：有时候，我们可能会觉得生活中有些事情阻碍了我们的成长。

moving感动的；growing成长；changing改变。根据前后文语境可知，我们会觉得生活中有些事情阻碍了我们的成长，但实际上，却是他们支持了我们。故选B。
