（One day, Gulliver was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then damaged. He was washed to the beach by sea wave. He walked and walked to find a city, but he was too tired and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him）
The emperor spoke in a high voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His followers and all the ladies wore rich and beautiful clothes. The ground where they were standing looked like gold and silver cloth.
His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages — Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words, not even the cleverest of the emperor’s followers.
After about two hours the emperor left. His wife, children and their servants went too. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me.
An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended（假装）to eat the sixth man.
The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. Was I going to cut up the man? But I only cut the binding（捆绑物）round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too.
The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the emperor about it immediately. The emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me.
At the same time the emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with it. They were very worried. If my binding was cut I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be very hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us.
The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury（埋葬）me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country.

1. 本题考查细节理解。根据原文最后一段中“they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country.”可知，小人国的人将Gulliver视为威胁，即敌人，故选B。2. 本题考查推理判断。结合故事背景，Gulliver体型远大于小人国的人，小人国的人因他过于庞大而感到害怕，所以一开始想伤害他，故选B。3. 本题考查代词指代。根据前文“hold six men who made me angry”可知，划线词“them”指代的是这六个惹Gulliver生气的人，故选C。4. 本题考查事件排序。根据故事发展顺序：首先皇帝说话（③），接着双方语言不通（②），然后人群要伤害Gulliver（⑤），之后Gulliver释放了六个小人（④），最后皇帝让人制作大床（①），故顺序为③②⑤④①，选B。5. 本题考查细节理解。根据原文最后一段“My dead body would smell.
