初中生英语阅读篇及答案（分享中考英语阅读训练）

阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。

I am Canadian. Istarted learning Frenchwhen I was 10 years old. But my whole

experience with the language was in theclassroom. All of that changed, however,during my last summer of high school. As a17-year-old girl, l flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebecto live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn't speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.

On the first day of school, all of us students were given а test to determine(lĩE) our language level. We were required tospeak only French all summer.

I made every effort to communicate in asecond language by making new friends,

seeing movies and even ordering food fromrestaurants in French. Though I couldn't

understand most of it at the very beginning,the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.

On weekends, my classmates and I tooktrips to different places around the province.On one trip, we went whale watching on theSt. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimmingaround our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style(欧式的)buildings, and learned some stories there.

Finally my efforts paid off. At the end ofthe summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher.Being fully immersed(沉浸) in a French-speaking environment was a valuable

learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.
