When 47-year-old 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 open-mouthed, 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 wake-up 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.
16．We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle ________． A．rose from a low social class B．had an unhappy marriage
C．lived with a dog alone on a farm
D．won the championship in the Britain's Got Talent show
17．At the beginning of the show, almost everybody ________． A．looked forward to her wonderful performance B．was attracted by her beautiful dress C．looked down upon her D．placed great hope on her
18．We can infer that ________ contributed most to her global popularity. A．the judges B．the Internet C．the newspaper D．the advertisement
19．The 4th paragraph is intended to tell us ________． A．how Susan Boyle achieved her success
B．the comment made by American actor Ashton Kutcher C．Susan Boyle's influence in the USA
D．Oprah Winfrey's invitation to Susan Boyle Ⅲ.阅读填空

__20__ Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of fingerprints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children,
though nobody knows why this is the case.
The ridge (隆起) structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new skin, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. __21__ Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own fingerprints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.
Fingerprints can be made very easily with printer's ink. They can be recorded easily. __22__ Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, fingerprints have often been used as a method of solving criminal cases. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. __23__ When a suspect leaves fingerprints behind at the scene of crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. __24__ Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print in the size of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.
A．Special techniques are used to “develop” them. B．A fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all part of the finger.
