问题     In previous generations, young people were under their parents’ control; now the teenage children of the West’s richest generation were ready for something to get excited about. The Beatles simply put a spark to a fuse(导火索)that was waiting to be lit.
    Everything changed, and what changed for the Beatles was their lives and their working habits in the midst of the hysterical(歇斯底里的)following the band attracted. Because of the demand of the fans to see them perform, they played bigger and bigger venues(meeting places), especially in America.
    But John, Paul, George and Ringo became increasingly unhappy that, because of the screaming of their fans, neither the band nor the audience could hear the music. Creatively frustrated and tired of the pressures of life under siege(围攻)from their fans, they retired from playing concerts in 1966 and decided to concentrate on recording.
    It was from this point that the brilliance of the Beatles really began to reveal itself: they would record over their career some 200 songs. Never before nor since has any recording and writing group even developed and yet remained the same in the way the Beatles did
    Their songs never lost their universal appeal thanks to the warmth and timelessness of their melodies and lyrics.
    John and Paul were powerful singers with distinctive styles. It became apparent that, despite the fact that the songwriting credits were always equally attributed to them, Paul and John wrote and sang their own songs. George also contributed two or three of his own compositions to each of the Beatles eleven albums. Even Ringo wrote and sang the occasional song.
What can we learn about the Beatles’ music?
选项 A、It was a fine example of music for simple sing-along songs.
B、Its appeal was not limited to any particular time or group of people.
C、It was simple in form but rich in meaning.
D、It reached a height which other pop music groups had never reached for their lyrics and melodies.
答案B
解析 这是一道推理题。从文章的第五段，我们可以知道披头士乐队的音乐一直深受大众的普遍欢迎，也就是说该乐队的吸引力不受时代和种群的限制，经久不衰，即选项B表达的内容。
