2023-2024学年上学期八年级英语期末专项练习 （阅读表达） A Gulliver managed to get away from the small men. He found a boat and tried to sail home. However, there was a great storm at sea. The strong winds drove his boat to an island. It was strange that everyone on the island was very large. They were all more than 20 meters tall. A farmer found Gulliver and took him home to his daughter. Gulliver seemed very small to them, like a toy or a pet. The farmer’s daughter took Gulliver to town to show him around. Everyone in town was very surprised to see such a small person. The Queen heard about Gulliver and bought him from the farmer. She gave Gulliver to the King as a present. The King enjoyed listening to Gulliver talk about his home country and his many travels. Their chairs, tables, knives, forks and plates were all much too big for Gulliver to use, so they built a small house for him to live in. Wherever the King and Queen went, they carried Gulliver with them in his house. One day they went to the beach. While they were there, a large eagle picked up Gulliver’s house-with Gulliver in it-and carried him high up into the air. But the house was too heavy, so the eagle dropped it into the sea. Gulliver used his house as a boat until a ship found him. The ship took him home. -------Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过10个单词） 1.
