The Beatles were the most influential band in pop history. In their 8year, 12album history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically.And it wasn't 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 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 band's 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 imagines.
Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation.

答案
课时作业(十)
Ⅰ.1.C 考查动词。句意为：这部新电影有希望成为有史以来最赚钱的一部。所以选promise，意为“有……的希望”。pretend “假装”；agree “同意”；decline “下降，婉拒”。
2．B 考查“介词＋which”引导的定语从句。句意为：4月1日是特别的日子，在那一天，人们开很多玩笑而不受惩罚。“在某一天”应该用介词on。
3．D 由句中的数词two可先排除A、C。由于前后两部分之间有连词but，故排除B而选择D。若把连词but去掉，则应选择B。
4．C 考查“介词＋which”引导的定语从句。the train 在从句中作方式状语，所以用in which(in the train)。句意为：他们乘坐的那辆火车晚点了。
5．C 考查形容词辨析。independent “独立的”；confident “有信心的”；reliable “可靠的”；flexible “灵活的”。句意为：约翰非常可靠，如果他许诺做某事他一定会做的。故选reliable。
6．A 考查非谓语动词。由the works可知，空缺处应为“被动”，但是to be performed表示“将来”，being performed表示“正在进行”，都不符合语境。其实，前部分为省略句，补充完整应为No matter how frequently they are performed…省略的条件是前后主语一致且含有系动词be，在省略时要把主语和系动词be省略掉。
7．D 考查动词辨析。句意：这支著名乐队由两个女孩和三个男孩组成，其中包括一名美国女孩。be formed into “由……组成”，符合题意。
8．A 考查情态动词。“情态动词must＋动词原形”表示对现在动作的肯定推测，must be doing表示对现在正在进行动作的肯定推测。句意为：我的书刚才还在这儿的，可现在不见了，一定有人在和我开玩笑。
9．A 考查非谓语动词。由题干的时态可知，“天宫二号”已经被发射，所以用过去分词作定语表被动和完成。句意为：2011年发射的“天宫二号”，再次鼓起全国人民的士气。
10．A 考查倒装的用法。句意：中国在2011年的表现如此突出，世人都认为这是一个中国年。“So＋adj./adv.”放在句首，主句的谓语用部分倒装。故选A项。
11．C 考查pretend的用法。pretend to be doing sth.“假装正在干某事”。句意为：当妈妈进厨房时，迈克假装正在做午饭。prepare lunch “做午饭”；prepare for lunch “为午饭做准备”，指买菜、买肉等事先的准备工作，故排除D项，而选C项。
12．D 考查passerby的复数形式。passerby的复数是在passer后加s，即passersby(过路人)。
13．A 考查dream of doing sth的用法。dream of doing sth. “梦想着做……”。one day为时间状语，不影响其构成。
14．C
15．C 考查动词辨析。句意为：这应该是你第一次用你自己的梦想赚钱吧？所以应该选earn。
Ⅱ.文章主要介绍甲壳虫乐队至今仍然影响着人们。
16．D 细节理解题。从文章第一段的And it wasn't 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 a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life.可以看出答案为D。
17．D 细节理解题。从文章第二段可找出答案。
18．B 细节理解题。从文章第三段的The cover of their last album，Abbey Road of 1969，featured the four young men striding across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself.可找到答案。
19．D 细节理解题。从文章最后一段的“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…”可找出答案。
20．B 主旨大意题。纵观全文看出，文章向我们讲述了甲壳虫乐队的发展以及所取得的辉煌，由此可知答案为B。
.Now I can’t watch ①much television. But a
years ago I used to
it every night. I was often a little tired after a day’s work and watching TV demanded very little effort.
，there
too many people
my family. Some wanted to see
programme while others preferred another. I
happy with any programme but the others spent a lot
time arguing and there was no way of settling the matter except that we sell the set.
Now
at home reads instead.
①由结尾可知，电视机被卖掉了，没电视可看了，故去掉 much。
year是可数名词，应用few修饰，故将little改为few。
used to do sth.意为“过去经常做某事”，故将watching改为watch。
此处作状语，故用unfortunately意为“不幸的是”。
由下句时态提示可知，此处应为过去时态，故将are改为were。
“在某人家里”可说in one’s family，故将among改为in。
“one…another…”为常用搭配，意为“一个(方面)……另一个(方面)”，故将the改为one。
此处应为过去时态，故将am改为was。
“a lot of＋名词”意为“许多……”，故在lot后加of。
语境表示“现在全家人只能阅读了”，故将someone改为 everyone/everybody。
.One possible version：
Dear John，
How is everything going?
You know，I'm in Grade Three now. A selective test is going to be held next week in our school. Those who pass the test will have a chance to join a winter holiday camp in Oxford University. It has long been my dream to travel abroad and learn authentic English. And the winter camp is officially organized by the British Council. So I treasure the opportunity very much.
Now I would like to enter for the test. However, my family are all against it. As far as I'm concerned, what they care more is my future College Entrance Examination, which I should concern the most. I don't think it's a complete waste of time to take part in the camp. Could you give me some advice? I believe I will benefit a lot from your valuable and timely advice.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
