I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa .But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza .I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza .It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.Many years later finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that is was Pisa and no pizza .But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they dont like that it leans over the city.I do not think its a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down, it is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning .Nothing is perfect, it seems to say.And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Lets take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.1. This passage is about _.A. Italian pizza B. Italys problemsC. how the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its nameD. why the writer likes Pisa2. The writer used to think Pisa _.A. in SpainB. not very famousC. not the same as pizza D. the same as pizza3. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is _.A. modern B. falling downC. 600 years old D. 60 years old-4. The writer _.A. doesnt like what the tower looks likeB. likes what the tower looks like C. thinks its the most beautiful tower in ItalyD. doesnt like towers5. The writer likes the Leaning Tower of Pisa because _.A. its old B. its perfectC. it sells pizzaD. its imperfect四、翻译。（30%）中译英：1. 我突然想起他让我帮他买支钢笔。 2.在家人和朋友的帮助下，杰克通过了数学考试。 3. 就钱来说他很富有，但就幸福来说就不然了。 4. 我们的海关(the Customs)检查只花了几分钟时间。 5. 他辞去了办公室的工作，改以务农为生。 英译中：把文中划线的句子翻译成中文，写在对应的横线上。（6）A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. （7）Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子） or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other peoples rule.They make their own rules. （8）Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way. （9）Now the very same thing is true to literature. And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail -（10）that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 大学英语精读（预备级）模拟试卷答案一、 词汇。（20%） 1-5 DBAAB 6-10 BDCAB 11-15DBDCC 16-20 BABDA二、语法。（20%） 1-5 ACBDB 6-10 AABDC 11-15 ACDDD 16-20 BDABD三、阅读理解（30%）1-5 BACBD 6-10 BAACA 11-15 CDCBD 四、翻译。（30%） 1It suddenly came to me that he had asked me to buy a pen. 2With the help of his family and friends, Jack passed the maths test. 3In term of money, he's quite rich, but not in term of happiness. 4It took us only a few minutes to get through the Customs. 5He left his office job to try to make a living on the land. 6我的一位朋友喜欢画马。 7现在西方的规则是从马头开始。 8他们中的每个人都有奇特的方式。 9现在对文学来说同样适合。 10.那就是说，在你开始想文章的开头前，你可以先写结尾。
