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 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.
