2010届高三英语阅读理解冲刺精练系列1（含解析）ALearning English is one of the few things I have been doing consistently over the past 16 years. Like most Chinese students, I started learning English because it was a compulsory (必修的) course in my middle school. More importantly, English was a central subject for the college entrance exam.At that time, studying English was not a pleasant experience for me. There was no fun in the process of learning. The focus of our English education was getting a good mark in exams. And nobody told me that the real meaning of studying mother language was communication.When I became a university student, I spent nearly half of my time on English. In fact , more than 90 percent of the job offer ads in Shanghai list “proficiency (精通) as a main requirement”.How did I improve my English? People told me that TOEFL was very helpful and useful. As a result, I took a TOEFL training course and studied like mad. After six months preparation, I took part in the exam and got a high score. Later on, I had a chance to further my study in Britain . I soon discovered that all of my past English learning had been futile (没用的) . When I first went shopping in a local supermarket, I really could not understand what the cashier was saying at all.It was then that I realized I had totally missed the point. Instead of just passing exams, the main function of learning English or any other language is communication. What is more, language does not exist independent of culture. Hence, mechanical memorization helps very little in communication. Thats why I was still unable to freely express myself after learning English for many years. By no means am I talented in any foreign language. I am still learning English. Why?First and foremost, my job requires me to use English every day. Secondly, English helps me to have access to more information. Thirdly, as a bookworm, English gives me a chance to dive into the huge pool of inspiring English books. Last but not least, it is such a great experience to write in another language. Indeed, English has become part of my life . 1. How did the writer find English when he was a student?A.
