2014高考英语完形填空巩固练习精品题（3）及答案 【甘肃省嘉峪关市一中B The Beatles were the most influential band in pop history. In their 8-year, 12-album history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically. And it wasnt just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for. The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life. Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never been remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire bands music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial Times. The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969, featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images. Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation. Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured (持久). Why? Paul McCartneys biographer Barry Miles has an explanation: “They were the first rock band… and they just happened to be the best. They were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products. They were ground-breaking in every way，” he says. 45．Why did the Beatles change popular culture? A．Because of the suits of the four Liverpool boys. B．Because of changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore. C．Because of their albums. D．B
