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 dally 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 nation-al 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.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.McDonald's was founded in 1948.
B.McDonald's has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.
C.McDonald's has over 30,000 locations in the world now.
D.McDonald's was very small in scale in the beginning.

答案解析
【内容概要】
本文介绍了麦当劳的现状和它在全球化上的重要性,同时也指出不同的人对麦当劳的不同看法。第一、二段介绍了麦当劳的发展现状和在全球化上的影响。第三段举例说明仍有人对麦当劳及其代表的美国文化的不认可。最后一段表达了作者的观点。
【参考译文】
从1948年创办以后,麦当劳从最初一个家庭汉堡作坊发展成了全球性的快餐连锁店,3万多家店面遍及118个国家。
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》推出了一个以麦当劳当地货币售价为基础的货币购买力排行榜,称之为“巨无霸指数”。这并不是说全球店面都用一样的菜单:事实上,地区的不同菜单差别巨大。有些亚洲国家在巨无霸里加了炸虾,而印度的麦当劳根本就不会提供牛肉制品,而是提供用蔬菜、米饭和豆类制作的汉堡。
并不是世界上人人都乐见麦当劳的遍地开花。很多人认为麦当劳是美国经济和文化的沙文主义表现,特别是欧洲国家,他们认为这种美国式快餐是对本国饮食的一种挑衅。1999年,为了抗议全球化和“垃圾食品”,法国农民贾斯•波夫和一群人摧毁了一个在建的麦当劳餐馆,而他也在某种程度上成了一个英雄。第二年,一枚炸弹在一家法国麦当劳里爆炸,炸死了一名27岁的员工。无人对此事担责。
但是不管你是否喜欢麦当劳提供的食物或他们的政策,麦当劳仍然被看成是和平的全球化的真正先驱者。
