No other band has had the same influence...

No other band has had the same influence in the world as the Beatles. Over eight years and with more than a dozen albums (专辑),four young men from Liverpool, England — John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Star changed popular music and culture forever.

People in the UK became crazy about the Beatles in late 1963. The phenomenon (现象) was called “Beatlemania” by the British press. The term referred to the young women seen screaming at the band’s concerts. Beatlemania came to North America in early 1964, and the band’s popularity spread across much of the world.

Within five years, the Beatles’music changed greatly from their simple early hits like “She Loves You” and “I want to Hold Your Hand”.

The band wrote their own songs, explored new ways to create music and strived (奋斗)for high quality in every album they put out.

However, with their popularity came criticism (批评). The press criticized the band as symbols of 1960s youth culture, which celebrated freedom from traditional family roles.

In 1970, Paul McCartney announced he was leaving the Beatles. And the group quietly came to an end.

In the 70s, fans hoped for a reunion, but the group decided to follow their own careers with different degrees of success.

Fans lost hope with a tragedy; John Lennon was murdered in New York in 1980.

1.How long did the Beatles exist?

A. Five years.    B. Six years.

C. Eight years.    D. Thirteen years.

2.The underlined word “press” means _______.

A. young women of a country

B. young fans of a singer or film star

C. a business that prints and sometimes also sells books

D. reports in newspapers and on radio and television

3.For what reason were the Beatles criticized

A. Because their own songs were not popular.

B. Because they influenced the youth culture.

C. Because of their own families.

D. Because of their roles in the band.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Beatles changed the face of music    B. John Lennon’s death

C. John Lennon and his band    D. The break-up of the Beatles

 

1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A 【解析】本文为介绍说明文。本文主要介绍了20世纪60年代的Beatles乐队,介绍了他们对音乐风格及对当时青年文化的影响。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段的Over eight years and with more than a dozen albums (专辑)…可知,Beatles存在了八年。故选C。 2.词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句The phenomenon (现象) was called “Beatlemania” by the British press.及第五段中的The press criticized the band as symbols of 1960s youth culture…可知,press不是指的年轻女士、年轻的粉丝,也不是出版商,而应该是媒体。故选D。 3.推理判断题。根据第五段中的The press criticized the band as symbols of 1960s youth culture(Beatles被评论为20世纪60年代青年文化的象征)可推知, Beatles被评论的原因是因为他们影响了当时的青年文化。故选B。 4.标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了20世纪60年代的Beatles乐队,介绍了他们对音乐风格及对当时青年文化的影响。选项中John Lennon与乐队的关系、John Lennon的死亡、乐队的解散,都不是文章描述的重点内容,所以“Beatles改变了音乐的面孔”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。 【名师点睛】 阅读理解在每套英语试题中都占有很重要的分值,需要大家特别重视。解答阅读理解时,一般遵循先读文章后的题目,标识出关键词(信息点),带着问题去阅读,做到心中有数,这样能够提高做题效率;在阅读过程中,将题目答案的原文信息源做好标识,这样能够做到自己的答案有凭有据,有助于提高自己的做题信心、有利于回头的自我检查。如第1小题“How long did the Beatles exist?” 属于细节理解题,根据第一段的Over eight years and with more than a dozen albums可明显看出Beatles存在了八年,所以我们把这句话定为正确答案的依据;第2小题“The underlined word “press” means…”属于词义猜测题,这就需要仔细阅读划线词所在句的句意及上下文中相关的描述可知,press应该不是指的年轻女士、年轻的粉丝,也不是出版商,而应该是媒体;第3小题“For what reason were the Beatles criticized?”属于推理判断题 ,从文章第五段中的The press criticized the band as symbols of 1960s youth culture可明显看知,Beatles被评论为20世纪60年代的青年文化象征,这里也是我们得出正确的答案的依据;第4小题属于标题归纳题,文章主要介绍了20世纪60年代的Beatles乐队,介绍了他们对音乐风格及对当时青年文化的影响,选项中John Lennon与乐队的关系、John Lennon的死亡、乐队的解散,都不是文章描述的重点内容,不能以偏概全,所以“Beatles改变了音乐的面孔”适合作最佳标题。此外,大家在日常学习过程中,一定要加强词汇积累,只有词汇基础雄厚了,阅读过程中的障碍才会少。
