Passage 1
Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.
With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’ s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’ s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数).That’ s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.
Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义),and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76)No one claimed responsibility.
But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.
题干： 根据文章， 以下哪个表述不正确？
A 项可从文章第一段第一句"Since its founding in 1948,"找到答案。 C 项可从第一段最后"with more than 30,000 locations in 118countries."找到答案。 D 项可从第一段中找到答案， 最初只是一个家庭汉堡包的货摊(stand)。只有 B 项“麦当劳已经在世界上每个城市建了餐厅” 找不到依据。 原文只是说麦当劳在全世界很普遍(ubiquitous)， 不代表每个城市都有。
The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ________.
题干： 第二段"ubiquitous"一词最可能的意思是？
从第二段可以看到， 根据“每天有 5800 万顾客”，“《经济学人》 杂志依据全世界当地的麦当劳购买力进行了排名， ”等信息， 可以猜测出这个词的意思是“普遍的”。
From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ________.
题干： 从第二段我们可以总结出。
从第二段后半部分可以看出， "That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location."每个城市并不是都是一样的菜单， 根据地区不同， 选择也有差异。 由此看出， 选项中只有 A“麦当劳设计菜单来满足当地人的需求。” 适合题意。
What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?
题干： Jose Bove 和他的人在 1999 年做了什么来反对麦当劳？
由"A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food"."这一句可以看出， 他和他的人摧毁了一个在建的麦当劳店来反对全球化和糟糕食物。
In________, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’ s restaurant in France.
题干： 在哪年， 一位员工死在了发生在法国攻击麦当劳餐馆的致命爆炸袭击之中。
该句中的时间没有直接在原文中体现， 但是可以从相关时间顺序容易的推测出， "The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald's, killing a 27-year-old employee."第二年发生了这件事情， 由前面的事件（1999 年） 可以推测出， 第二年便是 2000 年。
