Ⅳ. 新语篇 小说《格列佛游记》节选 (2024·徐州三模)阅读理解
你知道《格列佛游记》中格列佛到了“小人国”后发生了什么故事吗? 一起来看看吧!
I hoped to be set free one day, so I was nice to the Lilliputians. Gradually, they lost fear of me. Sometimes the children even played hide-and-seek in my hair.
One day, the king said to me, “Gulliver, I invite you to watch an important performance. It is a competition called Rope Dancing. ” In the competition, a thin rope was tied between two poles very high above the ground. People had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport before.
“Your Majesty,” I said, “many dancers must fall and be hurt or killed. ”
“Yes,” he replied, “But I will give the best jobs in my kingdom to the men who are not afraid and jump the highest. ” “What a strange way to choose who will work for the country!” I thought.
Then, as the king watched, I tied each corner of my handkerchief to a strong stick, and pushed the four sticks into the ground. My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground. Any dancer who fell would land on the handkerchief and not get hurt. The king was very pleased with my invention. His family and many other people watched the rope dancing.
“Would you and the queen like to see better?” I asked the king. I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope. They had a good view of the dancers. One very skilled performer held on to the rope and flipped(翻转) his body right over it. The king and the queen clapped loudly and cheered. Later the king told me that he made this man one of his chief(首要的) advisers.
The king and I met often. He seemed to enjoy our conversations. One day, I said again, “Your Majesty, please set me free. ” This time he answered, “I have talked to my advisers. We agree that you have been good to our people. . . ”
