第四部分 阅读理解(共计30分，每小题2分)

26—35小题：阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个正确答案，并在答题纸上写出所选的字母符号。 短文理解l

'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 standardised 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' flavour. 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. Questions 26--30

Poll reveals TV news too negative

A recent Time/CNN poll in the USA has discovered that 75% of people agreed that the news media is \news they are receiving.

Local news programmes in the USA are so dominated by stories of violence and crime that other topics like government, education and the environment are left with little airtime. Network broadcaster John Waiters claimed, \

Crime reports, which often serve as lead stories, make up an average of 30.2% of news time on local TV news programmes in the USA. Media researcher Bob Smith reported, \murder, but it is one of the least frequently committed crimes.\all local TV news broadcasts are stories about crime, disaster and war.

One possible reason for this is that local television news is ratings driven. Some market research suggests that viewers like to see stories of crime and violence, which increases the ratings of newscasts. Higher ratings mean higher advertising revenues. Mike Adams, a television executive, explained, \increase in crime reports is because, on average, almost half the money a local station makes comes from news.\

Many experts believe a steady diet of violence oriented news broadcasts has serious effects. A spokesman for the National Television Violence Committee stated, \with viewing media violence. People learn aggressive behaviour.

They become desensitised to real-world violence. These lead to an increased fear of being a victim of violence, resulting in mistrust of others.\Questions 36—40

36. The majority of people polled think that the news media is accurate. 37. There is not enough time to talk about a wider range of subjects on the news. 38. 42% of all crimes committed are murders.

39. Advertising companies invest in TV programmes with high ratings. 40. TV stations make too much money from news.

C. memo

D. telephone message

The Internet has become a symbol of modern society. For example, via the Internet, we can send a message to a friend or a relative in a distant place within seconds; we can talk to each other or even see each other; we can do shopping without going out; we can stay home and do business with foreign companies. In fact, we can do many things more easily and more cheaply using the Internet. So, I cannot imagine what society would be like without the Internet.
