Question

20．French people pride themselves on their delicious foods，such as cheese，baguettes and croissants（two kinds of food）．In fact，food is an important part of French culture．Families and friends spend hours over the dinner table each night．It is the opposite of the fast-food habit common in other parts of the West．
It's the reason why the French are very angry that a McDonald's is opening beneath Paris's most famous museum：the Louvre （盧浮宮）．The new restaurant will be the 1，142nd McDonald's in France，and will open in the underground approach to the museum．But many French people can't understand why this American chain is opening in the heart of French culture．
    However，McDonald's is paying no notice to the complaint．McDonald's now has 31，000 chains worldwide．Tourists are hungry，and opening chains in tourist spots pays well．
    There is another chain threatening France's heritage．This time it is coffee rather than burgers．As more and more Starbucks open in Paris，traditional French cafés are forced to close．
    The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a country's culture．How can a small，independent coffee shop compete with the multi-billion dollar chain？You can go to a Starbucks in any city in the world，but you can only go to a Parisian café in France．
    Responsibility is with the tourists．A McDonald's wouldn't open so near the Louvre if it weren't not going to make money．Similarly，a Pizza Hut wouldn't overlook （俯瞰） Egypt's Great Pyramid if no one wants to sit in it．Maybe next time you visit the Great Wall，you should think twice before ordering a Cappuccino in the Starbucks．

A．Because they will spend many hours in McDonald's．

60．What is the trouble with American companies opening chains all over the world？C

分析 本文屬于新聞報(bào)道類(lèi)閱讀．文章首先指出法國(guó)人以他們的美食為豪，他們對(duì)美食很講究，都會(huì)花很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間來(lái)準(zhǔn)備晚飯，跟西方其他地方的快餐文化正好相反，因此對(duì)于一些世界著名連鎖的快餐店，他們是很反感的，他們認(rèn)為這些快餐店威脅到了他們的文化．文章舉了兩個(gè)例子：麥當(dāng)勞和星巴克，麥當(dāng)勞開(kāi)在了法國(guó)的文化中心（羅浮宮），星巴克導(dǎo)致了很多當(dāng)?shù)氐目Х鹊甑归]．而解決這些問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵在于游客，如果游客不去，快餐店不賺錢(qián)，那自然就不會(huì)開(kāi)在景點(diǎn)附近．

解答 58．D   細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第一段"French people pride themselves on their delicious foods"和"It is the opposite of the fast-food habit common in other parts of the West．"這兩句可知，法國(guó)人以他們的美食為豪，這跟西方其他國(guó)家的快餐習(xí)慣正好是相反的，所以當(dāng)麥當(dāng)勞開(kāi)在他們那里的時(shí)候他們是生氣的，D：因?yàn)樗麄円运麄兊氖澄餅楹�，與此處表達(dá)的意思相同，故選D．
59．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第二段"Tourists are hungry，and opening chains in tourist spots pays well．"可知，游客餓了就會(huì)去麥當(dāng)勞吃飯，自然生意就好，B：在旅游景點(diǎn)開(kāi)連鎖餐廳是很有收益的，與此處意思相同，故選B．
60．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第四段"The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a country's culture．"可知，美國(guó)連鎖餐廳在世界的開(kāi)辦對(duì)一個(gè)國(guó)家的文化有毀滅性的影響，C：對(duì)國(guó)家文化有負(fù)面影響，與此處表達(dá)的意思相同，故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意，帶著問(wèn)題回到原文，尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案，最后要理清作者寫(xiě)作思路．
