湖南衡阳市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解校本题（一）附答案 （2016高考阅读理解）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。 One windy spring day，I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites.Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth.As the strong winds gusted against the kites，a string kept them in check.

Let us each rise to the great heights，recognizing that some of the prohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve. 1．In the passage the writer watched .
