"Yesterday things were normal.Did I change during the night？Am I a different girl today？If I am a different girl,who am I？Am I Mabel？"（Mabel was a girl at Alice's school.）"No,I can't be!I know a lot of things and she knows well only a few.""I wonder if I can remember the multiplication tables （乘法口诀）.Let's see,four times five is twelve,and four times six is thirteen,and four times seven is-oh dear!What about Geography？London is the capital of Paris,and Paris is the capital of Rome,and Rome-no,that'swrong.Perhaps I am Mabel!"— Adapted from Alice in Wonderland41.Alice said goodbye to her feet because ______ .A. she became too tall to see her feetB. her head was out of the roomC. she couldn't look down at her feetD. her feet were leaving42.The pool of water around Alice on the ground was,in fact, ______ .A. drinksB. tearsC. bloodD. a mirror43.The White Rabbit was ______ the Duchess.A. proud ofB. strict withC. angry withD. afraid of44.The White Rabbit ______ when it heard Alice's voice.A. put the key on the tableB. picked up the fanC. ran away down a dark passageD. started to fan itself45.Alice felt ______ when she said to herself.A. confused （困惑的）B. confidentC. lonelyD. curious46.Words are the key to language.And if you want to improve your ability to speak,listen andwrite in English,you have to learn lots of words.Here are some ideas to help you.

"From hill to hill no birds in flightFrom path to path no men in sight " -- translated by Xu YuanchongIt doesn't matter how good you are.You can always be better...even if you're already the best!This is the lesson we learn from Xu Yuanchong.He is the famous translator who passed away on June 17th,2021，at the age of 100.Xu began to translate Chinese poetry into both English and French when he was still a teenager.He soon learned that Chinese and European languages were very different.Only about half of the words in these languages could be translated word-for-word.So Xu always emphasized that translators have to be creative.Xu also tried to improve his translations to make sure they are correct and beautiful.Xu's motto is ：Good,better,best.Never let it rest.Until your good is better,and your better best. Xu is considered to be the best,but that hasn't stopped him from always trying to become better.Most of you are good at English and or some other subjects.A few of you are even the best in your class.But all of you know that you can be better and that the more you learn and the harder you study,the better you will become.There is always room for improvement.回答下面五个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。
