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-syle 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. (80)
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.
The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean________.
选项
A、very crowded
B、very clean
C、existing everywhere
D、occurring frequently
答案
C
解析
推断题。题干问的是“第二段的ubiquitous是什么意思?”根据定位句“每天,全球有5800万顾客光临麦当劳。由于麦当劳的无处不在,《经济学人》…”可知,ubiquitous的意思和前半句的“每天有5800万顾客”相关,再加上第一段里提到“3万多家店面遍及118个国家”,可推测出该词的意思为“无处不在的”,故选C。
