Last year, I went to the 42nd Weifang International Kite Festival with my friend Amy. The sky was full of amazing kites—pandas, cars, dragons and so on. The locals said proudly, “In Weifang, everything can fly in the sky.” People from 46 countries came to join the fun.
While we were there, Amy and I looked up kite history on our phones. I thought Laozi might have invented kites, but I was wrong! It was actually Mozi who invented kites over 2,000 years ago. He made the first wooden kite with wood and silk. It’s said that the kite could fly for one day. Later, Luban improved it with bamboo, making it stay in the air for 3 days.
Weifang produces over 70% of the world’s kites. An old man told us there are four steps to make a kite: framing (扎框架), gluing, painting and flying. Each step must be done very carefully. For example, the water temperature should be around 60 °C when you glue the paper. Water hotter than that will change the colour of the paper.
What surprised me the most was the new ideas in kite-making. People add colourful lights to the kites. At night, the kites shine brightly in the sky. This trip made me love kites even more—they’re not just toys, but a mix of history and creativity!

【分析】
本题为英语综合练习题，分为四个任务：任务一考查英语词形转换，需掌握动词变名词、名词变动词、形容词的常见后缀规则；任务二考查不同词性单词的反义词辨析，需区分词汇的词性并匹配对应反义词；任务三考查与发明创造相关的短语识记，需回忆单元所学相关短语；任务四考查语篇词汇运用，需结合上下文语境选择任务一、三中的词汇补全句子。
【解析】
任务一：根据词形变化规则，动词invent（发明）变名词加后缀-tion得invention，也可加-or表示“发明家”inventor；动词improve（改进）变名词加后缀-ment得improvement；动词produce（生产）变名词可加-t得product（产品）或加-tion得production（生产）；动词change（改变）变形容词加后缀-able得changeable；名词creativity（创造力）变动词为create，变形容词加后缀-tive得creative。
任务二：从单元词汇中选取不同词性的单词，如不定代词everything（一切）的反义词为nothing（没有什么），副词carefully（仔细地）的反义词为carelessly（粗心地），形容词比较级hotter（更热的）的反义词为colder（更冷的），符合“至少三种不同词性”要求。
任务三：回忆本单元与发明创造相关的短语，筛选出be made of（由…制成）、have a big effect on（对…有很大影响）、as a result（结果）、lead to（导致）、be supposed to（应该），满足至少5个的要求。
任务四：结合语境，第一空需动词“发明”，填invent；第二空表示“由木头制成”，用be made of的过去式was made of；第三空表示“影响整个社区”，用have a big effect on的过去式had a big effect on；第四空表结果，用As a result（句首首字母大写）；第五空表示“他们的发明”，用名词复数inventions。
【答案】
任务一：invention/inventor；improvement；product/production；changeable；create；creative
任务二：everything→nothing；carefully→carelessly；hotter→colder
任务三：be made of；have a big effect on；as a result；lead to；be supposed to
任务四：invent；was made of；had a big effect on；As a result；inventions
