Quickly, he 2 a letter to the king, "I'm off to visit Blefuscu, as I promised (承诺)."
Then he hurried down to the sea 3 Lilliput and Blefuscu. The king of Blefuscu himself came out to meet him. "Welcome!" cried the king. "Stay as 4 as you like."
Walking on the beach a week later, Gulliver saw out at sea a small boat—but a full-sized one. It was floating (漂浮) upside down in the water.
Gulliver rushed to the king. He begged, "Can you help me repair the boat? This could be my chance to go 5. " "Of course," said the king. "Take some ships to help you."
Gulliver swam out to the boat, holding ropes from each of the ships.
With the ships 6 and Gulliver pushing (推), the boat was brought safely to shore (岸).
Gulliver and the king's men began to 7 the boat for his long journey home. Soon, the boat was finished.
"I'd like to leave now," Gulliver told the king. "But no one at home will 8 my story. Could I take some of your people with me?"
"You can't do that," said the king. "But you may take some cows and a sheep."
He also gave Gulliver fifty bags of gold coins. "I don't want you to go," he said. "But I understand 9 you have to." "Thank you," said Gulliver. "I'll never 10 you all."
After only a few days at sea in his boat, Gulliver saw a ship. He shouted and waved wildly. He was in luck! One sailor saved him. "Where have you come from?" asked the captain.
"A place called Lilliput," said Gulliver and he showed the captain the presents from the king.

【分析】
我们可以通过结合上下文语境、固定搭配和词汇词义来逐个分析每个空：
1. 第1空：前文提到“Gulliver was very expensive”，国王想给他更少食物，目的是节省钱，所以要选表示“钱”的选项。
2. 第2空：后面提到“a letter to the king”，给国王的信，动作应该是“写”，对应写书信的动词。
3. 第3空：这里是Lilliput和Blefuscu两个地方之间，需要用表示两者之间的固定搭配“between...and”。
4. 第4空：国王欢迎格列佛，说“想待多久就待多久”，需要表示“久”的形容词，搭配“as...as you like”。
5. 第5空：后文提到“long journey home”，说明格列佛想抓住机会回家，所以选表示“回家”的选项。
6. 第6空：前文说Gulliver拿着船的绳子，结合“Gulliver pushing”，船的动作是拉，所以选表示“拉”的动词。
7. 第7空：前文提到“repair the boat”，这里是为回家的旅程修船，“fix”和“repair”意思相近，是修船的动作。
8. 第8空：格列佛担心家里没人会相信他的经历，所以选表示“相信”的动词。
9. 第9空：国王说不想他走，但理解他为什么必须走，需要表示原因的疑问词。
10. 第10空：格列佛感谢国王，说永远不会忘记他们，选表示“忘记”的动词。
