Question

The performance was posted on line and before long，the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了Susan Boyle 一直有唱歌的夢想，在唱歌中她構筑了信心，發掘了自己的天份并取得成功．

解答 72．D   細節題．結合第四段第一句 Speaking from her home in Scotland，Ms．Boyle said that she hasn't thought of changing her appearance 可知，Susan Boyle 來自蘇格蘭，是蘇格蘭人．故 a Scottish woman 符合題意．a judge 意為"一名法官"，a reporter 意為"一名記者"，a beautiful 意為"一個美人"，均不符合題意．
故正確答案為D．
73．A  細節題． 結合第二段倒數第二句 She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face widway through 和第五段最后一句 so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence 可知，Susan Boyle 認為唱歌可以構筑信心，使人在唱歌時感到十分滿足．可推知她對于自己的歌聲十分有信心．A項意為"她對歌唱很自信"，符合題意．B項意為"她對評委滿意"，C項意為"她漂亮且身材好"，D項意為"她唱的歌是來自《悲慘世界》的 I dreamed a dream"，均不是她感到滿足的原因．均不符合題意．故正確答案為A．
74．C  判斷正誤題．
A項，結合第五段第一句 Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents 和最后一句 getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence 可知，是喜歡上唱歌這件事讓她發現了自己的唱歌特長，從而使她變得自信．故A項表述正確．B項，結合第五段最后一句 I was kind of slow at school 可知，她在學校有些遲緩，即成績不太好．故B項表述正確．C項，結合第一段第一句 When we talk about stars，especially women stars，it seems that they are always young，pretty and own charming body shapes 和第一段最后一句 But recently a Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely 可知，Susan Boyle 完全顛覆了我們之前認為的明星，尤其是女明星年輕、美麗、身材好的印象，可見 Susan Boyle 不是因為外表而出名．故C項表述錯誤．
D項，結合第二段第二句 This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea 可知，Simon Cowell 認為他可以很快結束對 Susan Boyle 的點評去休息，說明他開始并不認為 Susan Boyle 是一個好歌手．故D項表述正確．題干要求選擇錯誤的（NOT true）選項，C項符合題意．故正確答案為C．
75．C  主旨題．
結合第五段最后一句 I was kind of slow at school，so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence 可知，Susan Boyle 一直有唱歌的夢想，在唱歌中她構筑了信心，發掘了自己的天份并取得成功．C項意為"如果你有夢想，就努力去實現它"，符合題意．A項意為"活到老學到老"，B項意為"47歲時更容易取得成功"，D項意為"如果你學習不好，試著去當一名歌手"，均不符合題意．故正確答案為C．
