‘Mum, can we go to McDonald’s, please?’ Some people might ask, ‘Where would we be today if we did not have fast food?’ and ‘Where would parents take their children out to eat?’

It has been reported that approximately 30% of meals consumed by families in the USA are eaten at one of the big chains like Burger King and Taco Bell, though probably none is more famous than McDonald’s. The distinctive ‘golden arch’ can now be seen in most major cities in the world. In 2002, McDonald’s had approximately 25,000 restaurants in over 120 countries and served 29 million people a day.

Apparently, the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of ‘think global, act local’. McDonald’s learnt that if they adapted their ‘Mac’ meals to different cultures, it was more successful than having a standardized set of products that taste the same everywhere. So now, around 80% of McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a ‘local’ flavor. For example, in Hong Kong, food called ‘Shake Shake Fries’ and ‘Red Bean Sunday’ can be found on the menu, while in Switzerland, ‘Vegi Macs’ are served.

However, fast food is not popular with everyone. It is often called ‘junk’ food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fat. Furthermore, many people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of waste, while millions of people in developing countries go hungry. At the same time, more and more people no longer cook fresh food at home. ‘Convenience’ food is just too convenient! It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spencer, or some other supermarket chain, to buy ready-made meals on their way home from work. It is even easier to buy a ‘take-away’ from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home.

答案:AI参考:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?\n\nA. McDonald’s is the most famous fast food chain in the world.\nB. The secret of their success is adapting their products to local cultures.\nC. Fast food is a convenient and healthy food.\nD. Fast food is a convenient food but not healthy.\n\n正确答案是：D. Fast food is a convenient food but not healthy。\n根据文章内容，虽然快餐在全球很受欢迎，但并不一定适合所有人，因为快餐被认为是不健康和富含脂肪的“垃圾”食品，同时快餐店也会产生大量的浪费，而且许多发展中国家的人们会挨饿。因此，快餐虽然方便，但不健康。选项D符合文章内容。选项A、B、C在文章中没有提到或被否定。因此，答案是D。'

In 1909 an English newspaper offered £ 1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an aero plane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colorful.

One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aero plane design.

The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’ m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometers from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so, a customs officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. “Have you anything to declare?” The officer demanded.

答案:AI参考:A. He thought the other person would surely win.\nB. He wanted to try a new adventure\nC. He thought the money was not enough\nD. He had tried it before\n正确答案是：B. He wanted to try a new adventure。\n在文章中提到“He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live.”，这说明他想尝试新的冒险，因此选择B。其他选项在文章中没有提到。\n\n全文大意：这篇文章讲述了两个男人争夺第一个跨过英吉利海峡飞机的奖金的故事，其中一个男人想要尝试新的冒险，而另一个男人则更关心钱的问题。最终，一个男人成功了，另一个男人失败了。根据全文可知，他想要尝试新的冒险。因此，正确答案是B。'

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.

It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.

Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, thy may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call’ remembered history’. Some of it has mow been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.

答案:AI参考:The passage is mainly about ______.\nA. written history\nB. remembered history\nC. written and remembered history\nD. history in general\n正确答案是：B. remembered history。\n根据文章内容可知，文章主要讲述的是人们通过口头相传的“记忆中的历史”，故选B。文章第一段提到如果我们写日记记录每天发生的事情，我们就能回答这个问题，而第二段又提到人们忘记了很多事情是因为没有书面记录，即使人们不会写字，他们也可能知道一些过去的事情，因此可以得出结论，这篇文章主要讲述的是“记忆中的历史”。故选B。'
