This Ms Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song I dreamed a dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain's Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.She couldn't hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyoneincluding the judgesseemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone in the auditorium fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat open­mouthed, and remained standing to the end.After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said，“Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you.No one is laughing now. That was amazing.”Actress Amanda Holden followed，“I'm so thrilled because I know that we everybody were against you.I honestly think that we were all being very cynical(憤世嫉俗的) and I think that's the biggest wake­up call ever.”Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moorewho between them have nearly 1.5 million followersspeak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip(片段). The Scottish talent made her live American debut via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey.Now Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on , becoming a hit on the Internet.16We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle _Arose from a low social classBhad an unhappy marriageClived with a dog alone on a farmDwon the championship in the Britain's Got Talent show17At the beginning of the show, almost everybody _Alooked forward to her wonderful performanceBwas attracted by her beautiful dressClooked down upon herDplaced great hope on her18We can infer that _ contributed most to her global popularity.Athe judges Bthe InternetCthe newspaper Dthe advertisement19The 4th paragraph is intended to tell us _Ahow Susan Boyle achieved her successBthe comment made by American actor Ashton KutcherCSusan Boyle's influence in the USADOprah Winfrey's invitation to Susan BoyleBThe class of eighth grade at a Los Angeles middle school tap their rulers and nod their heads to the rhythm of the rap video shown on a screen. Their algebra teacher, LaMar Queen, uses rhyme to help them memorize seemingly difficult items to improve their grades.Queen, 26, is now known at Los Angeles Academy Middle School as the rap teacher, but his fame has spread beyond the 2，200­student school in this neighborhood. He's won a national award and shown teachers and parents how to use rap to teach children.“Math is a bad word for many students, but if we put it in a form that kids enjoy, they'll learn，” Queen said. “Rap is what the kids respond to.They don't have a problem memorizing the songs at all.”Queen's math rap came about by chance. Two months after starting at LA Academy, he was frustrated when kids said his class was boring. They thought that he looked like the singer Kanye West, so they challenged him to rap.Queen has been rapping since the seventh grade. With his students' challenge on his mind, he pushed aside work on his lesson plans and wrote a rap song Slope Intercept.Word of his rapping soon reached the school's main office. Principal Maria Borges went to look into it, and came out smiling.“It interests the kids，” she said.“Kids seem to know all the rap songs, and it's helpful for them to remember math rules.” “Some kids who aren't even in Mr Queen's class go around singing his songs，” said Kejon Closure, 13, who went from a C­average to an A.In the raps, Queen defines a math concept and works through sample problems step by step. He keeps a relaxed manner when singing with his students. Queen also tries to inspire them. His lyrics tell students “to get As on your papers”，and “to be respectful and listen to your parents”Sometimes the students appear in the videos as a reward for good grades and behavior.20According to the passage, LaMar Queen has been _ since he began to teach students at Los Angeles Academy.Aa popular teacher Ba music teacherCa mathematics teacher Da famous singer21LaMar Queen has won a national award because _Ahe is good at composing rap songsBhis new musical production was shown on TVChe created a unique teaching method in mathDhe gave students a lot of confidence22We can infer from the last paragraph but one that _AQueen's teaching method has been well received by both the principal and the studentsBQueen makes math easy and tries to inspire his students in the rapCQueen is willing to help the students who are not good at mathDPrincipal Maria Borges doesn't think it a good way to teach math by rapping23This passage may be taken from China Daily in the column of _Asociety BeducationCentertainment Dbiography.短文填詞Last weekend, our school organized a social activity.
