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. 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.

1.细节事实题。由第一段“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. 自1948年成立以来,麦当劳已从一个家庭汉堡(汉堡包)站全球快餐连锁店,在118个国家拥有超过30000个地点。”可知ACD三项正确，B项不正确。
2.词义题。由第二段“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麦当劳在全球每天有5800万顾客，现在它在世界各地无处不在，《经济学人》(the Economist)根据当地麦当劳的定价发布了一份全球货币购买力排名，称为巨无霸指数(Big Mac Index)”中的around the globe可推知ubiquitous意为无处不在的。故C项正确。
3.推理判断题。由第二段“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. 这并不是说每个国家的菜单都是一样的:不同的地方有不同的选择。一些亚洲餐厅供应巨无霸卷里的炸虾，而印度的麦当劳根本不供应牛肉，而是用蔬菜、大米和豆类做成的汉堡。”可知麦当劳的菜单是根据当地的情况加以变化以适应当地人的需求。故A项正确。
4.细节事实题。由第三段 “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.” 1999年，法国农民何塞•博维(Jose Bove)和一群人为了抗议全球化和“劣质食品”，摧毁了一家正在建设中的麦当劳，他因此成为了某种程度上的民族英雄。”可知D项正确。
5.细节事实题。由第三段“The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald's, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility. 第二年，一枚炸弹在一家法国麦当劳爆炸，造成一名27岁的员工死亡。没有人声称对此事负责。”可知此事件发生在1999年的第二年即2000年。故C项正确。
