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.
The Beatles’outstanding qualities were really shown when______.

选项 A、they concentrated on recording and composition
B、they played on the American continent
C、they played their own lyrics and melodies on the stage
D、they sang on the stage pop songs they wrote themselves

答案A

解析 这是一道细节题,可以从第三段最后一句和第四段第一句中找到线索。第三段最后一句“于是在1966年他们停止举办演唱会,决定专心录制唱片。”第四段的第一句“也正是从那时起,披头士乐队的出众才华才真正开始得以展示。”由此可知,披头士乐队展示其出众才华,开始于他们专心录制唱片和创作歌曲,即选项A所表达的内容。
