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.
Which of the following is NOT true about the Beatles according to the passage? ________
选项 A、They made the young people of their time very excited.
B、They attracted a large following wherever they played.
C、They were always pleased with their popularity.
D、No other pop music group had ever recorded or written as many songs as they did.
答案C
解析 这是一道判断是非的题型。注意题干中的NOT。首先文章第一段“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．”这段话的意思是：上一代年轻人都受父母的掌控，现在西方最富裕一代的青少年后代们已经为迎接让他们兴奋的东西做好了准备。“甲壳虫”只是用火星点燃了待点燃的导火线而已。由此可见。选项A符合文义。B项“他们在哪演出都会吸引大批追随者”符合第二段第一句话的意思。文中第四段第二句提到“Never before nor since has any recording and writing group even developed and yet remained the same in the way the Beatles did．”所以D项也符合文义。选项C与文中第三段意思矛盾，因此符合本题题目的要求。
