问题     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-style 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. 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. [br] What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald’s?
选项 A、They organized a strike.
B、They protested outside a McDonald’s.
C、They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.
D、They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.
答案 D
解析 细节题。题干问的是“1999年，贾斯·波夫等人做了什么来抗议麦当劳?”根据定位句“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。”可直接得出答案，故选D。
