　　12．(2017·商丘质检)Please ________ a list of the guests for the dinner.

　　A．draw up

　　B．draw in

　　B．why

　　C．how

　　答案：B

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　(2017·沈阳四校协作体高三阶段测试)When 47­year­old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped onto the stage of Britain's Got Talent and announced she was unemployed, had never been married and “never been kissed, actually”， few in the audience would have wondered why. 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 everyone — including the judges — seemed 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 (愤世嫉俗的) 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 Moore — who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers — speak 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 Youtube, becoming a hit on the Internet.

　　语篇解读：正如一位哲人所说，“小人物也有大梦想”。在英国，47岁的妇女Susan Boyle也有自己的追求和梦想。那么她来到“英国达人秀”会有怎样的经历呢？她最终会成功吗？

　　(2017·山西省运城市教学检测)The class of eighth grade at a Los Angeles middle school tap their rulers and nod their head to the rhythm of the rap video shown on a sereen. 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.

　　语篇解读：美国洛杉矶的一位数学老师把复杂难懂的数学概念变成了说唱乐，从而让学生们如痴如醉地在数学公式里遨游。

　　A．a popular teacher

　　答案：C

　　B．Queen makes math easy and tries to inspire his students in the rap

　　D．Principal Maria Borges doesn't think it a good way to teach math by rapping
