问题     In previous generation, 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 (导火线) that was waiting to be lit.
    Everything changed, and what changed for the Beades 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.
It can be inferred from the passage that________.
选项 A、John and Paul were more talented and made greater contribution to the success of the band
B、John and Paul sang their own songs because they didn’t like each other’ s style
C、George and Ringo never composed or sang their own songs
D、The Beatles maintained so much popularity with their works that no other recording or writing group could compare
答案D
解析 这是一道考察推理的题型。在文章的最后一句“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．”可以得知，选项D“甲壳虫乐队的作品深受欢迎，其他唱片录制和歌曲谱写团队无法比拟”是本题正确答案。本文没有提及A项“约翰和保罗更有才华，对乐队成功所作的贡献也更大”和B项“约翰和保罗因为不喜欢对方的风格而演唱自己的歌曲”。选项C，“乔治和林戈从未谱写并演唱自己的歌曲”与本文最后一句话矛盾。
