题目解答
答案
1.B
2.C
3.A
解析
步骤 1：分析问题 1
根据文章内容，麦当劳成立于1948年，现在在全球有超过30,000个地点，遍布118个国家。文章中提到麦当劳从一个家庭汉堡摊发展成为一个全球快餐连锁店，但并没有说它在世界上的每个城市都有分店。因此，选项B是不正确的。
步骤 2：分析问题 2
根据上下文，"ubiquitous"一词在第二段中用来描述麦当劳在全球的广泛存在。因此，"ubiquitous"最可能的意思是“无处不在”。
步骤 3：分析问题 3
根据第二段，麦当劳的菜单因地点而异，例如在亚洲的一些地方提供炸虾汉堡，而在印度则提供蔬菜、米饭和豆类制成的汉堡。这表明麦当劳设计菜单以适应当地人的口味。
