Answer 1

分析 本文讲述了Susan Boyle 一直有唱歌的梦想，在唱歌中她构筑了信心，发掘了自己的天份并取得成功．

解答 72．D   细节题．结合第四段第一句 Speaking from her home in Scotland，Ms．Boyle said that she hasn't thought of changing her appearance 可知，Susan Boyle 来自苏格兰，是苏格兰人．故 a Scottish woman 符合题意．a judge 意为"一名法官"，a reporter 意为"一名记者"，a beautiful 意为"一个美人"，均不符合题意．
故正确答案为D．
73．A  细节题． 结合第二段倒数第二句 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 认为唱歌可以构筑信心，使人在唱歌时感到十分满足．可推知她对于自己的歌声十分有信心．A项意为"她对歌唱很自信"，符合题意．B项意为"她对评委满意"，C项意为"她漂亮且身材好"，D项意为"她唱的歌是来自《悲惨世界》的 I dreamed a dream"，均不是她感到满足的原因．均不符合题意．故正确答案为A．
74．C  判断正误题．
A项，结合第五段第一句 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，是喜欢上唱歌这件事让她发现了自己的唱歌特长，从而使她变得自信．故A项表述正确．B项，结合第五段最后一句 I was kind of slow at school 可知，她在学校有些迟缓，即成绩不太好．故B项表述正确．C项，结合第一段第一句 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 完全颠覆了我们之前认为的明星，尤其是女明星年轻、美丽、身材好的印象，可见 Susan Boyle 不是因为外表而出名．故C项表述错误．
D项，结合第二段第二句 This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea 可知，Simon Cowell 认为他可以很快结束对 Susan Boyle 的点评去休息，说明他开始并不认为 Susan Boyle 是一个好歌手．故D项表述正确．题干要求选择错误的（NOT true）选项，C项符合题意．故正确答案为C．
75．C  主旨题．
结合第五段最后一句 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 一直有唱歌的梦想，在唱歌中她构筑了信心，发掘了自己的天份并取得成功．C项意为"如果你有梦想，就努力去实现它"，符合题意．A项意为"活到老学到老"，B项意为"47岁时更容易取得成功"，D项意为"如果你学习不好，试着去当一名歌手"，均不符合题意．故正确答案为C．
