Chinese Kites were first invented about 2,000 years ago. At about the 12th century, kites were introduced to western countries. Later, with the endless development, the different cultures of kites were slowly formed in both eastern and western countries. During the kites' development, some special local culture about kites formed after connecting with Chinese traditional culture and the skill of making kites and presenting some stories, flowers, birds, animals, and some patterns about luck on kites.
At first, kites were used in military things. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the society began to develop well, so kites were used in the area of entertainment instead of in military things. Besides, the material for making kites was silk at first. Later, people used paper to make kites because of the fast development of paper. When the Song Dynasty came, it had become a job to make kites. And it was during the period of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty that the skill of making kites developed fast. At that time, people made kites and painted on the kites by themselves and then flew those kites or gave them to their relatives and friends. What's more, they thought this as an artistic activity. Recently, kites in China have been fully developed and flying kites has widely spread as a popular sport.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）A
（3）D
（4）B
【解析】本文介绍风筝的起源和发展历史。
⑴细节理解。根据第一段Chinese Kites were first invented about 2,000 years ago可知风筝有大约2000年的历史。故选C。
⑵词义猜测。show展示；record记录；remind提醒；使想起；offer提供。根据句意：在风筝的发展中，在把中国的传统文化和制作风筝的技能结合并在风筝上呈现出一些故事、花朵、鸟、兽以及一些关于好运的图案后，关于一些特别关于风筝的当地文化形成了。所以present意思是呈现、展示，故选A。
⑶细节理解。根据第二段可知，风筝开始被应用于军事上，在唐代，随着社会的发展，风筝被用于娱乐；后来由于纸的快速发展，人们用纸做风筝；宋代制作风筝成为一种职业；在明清时期，人们自己制作风筝去放或者送给亲戚朋友。近来风筝得到充分的发展和传播从而成为一种流行的运动。所以正确顺序是D。
⑷主旨大意。通读文章不难看出本文讲述风筝的起源和发展，所以正确答案是B。
