问题 Which of the following is NOT true about the Beatles according to the passage?
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 本题考查考生的判断推理能力。此题要求读者根据文章内容进行推理，得出合乎逻辑的结论。这种推论应有以下三个特征：必须以文章内容为依据，不能带想象或猜测；必须合乎逻辑和常识；是文章中未有明确指出的。因此，不合乎文章内容的结论或者原文已有的陈述都不能算推论。选文中同时谈到John，Paul，George和Ringo在该乐队中的作用和地位的部分在最后两小段。倒数第二小段的结尾句中指出the band always operated very much as an equal group of individuals，暗示其地位是平等的，只是他们各自所作之事不同，特长不同而已(John和Paul主要创作曲目，而George和Ringo则想象力强、音乐造诣很深)因此文章并未就谁作的贡献大作比较。选项A因而错误。最后一小段的头两句指出John和Paul演唱风格与众不同，但二者之间不一样(用styles复数形式)，显然他们各自演唱自己的歌曲。前者两句因果关系明显。选项B将原因归为他们不喜欢对方风格是没有根据的。选项C与文章最后两句矛盾。选项D中的no other recording or writing group可令我们将注意力集中于第四小段员后一句。对此句的理解是关键。此句为倒装句．强调前无先例后无来者；句子意为：无论在那之前还是在他们之后，从未有一个录音或创作组象甲壳虫乐队一样蓬勃发展并保持长盛不衰。因此，其作品受欢迎的程度的确是其他乐队比不上的。D为正确推论。
