In China, chain restaurants – especially the big multinational ones – are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization.”

Where I come from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet(美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing, “I’m huuuuuungry!” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let’s just be friends” phone call the next day.

In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says “let’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.

Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can’t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.

I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald’s.

24. Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______. A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture

B. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants C. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status D. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date 25. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.

B. Branches of Monmouth’s cafe can be found all over the UK.

C. Most independent stores are closed on New Year’s Day in the UK. D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant. 26. We can infer from the article that ______. A. the author doesn’t like food from Pizza Hut B. the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trends C. many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality D. many Britons don’t like big corporations

27. What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean? A. adapted B. contributed C. subscribed D. switched 解析：

文章大意：本文介绍了中国人和英国人对连锁店 的不同看法和态度。 24.答案 C。

解析：细节理解题： 从文章第一段“Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol.”可知，中国人认为去这些国际连锁店很酷，很能体现自己的社会地位。 25. 答案C。

解析：细节理解题：从第二段“Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open” 可知，英国人去这些连锁店的一个原因是其他餐馆都关了，而它们还开着。 26.答案 D。

解析：推理判断题：从第三段“Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.”可知，Monmouth’s coffee还贵一点，但英国人愿意去，因为自己付的钱没有直接到这些大公司的手里，觉得就很满意，可以得知英国人不大喜欢这些大公司。 27.答案 D.

解析：词义猜测题。根据上文 “…all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much”可知：作者已经转而去吃麦当劳。switch意为 “改变”。

C

It never occurred to anybody, not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy—it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous.

Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.

It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind-- remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.

Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon. 28. What is stressed in the second paragraph? A. The origin of Friends

B. The role models of Friends C. The popularity of Friends D. The brilliance of Friends.

29. Which of the following is TRUE about Friends? A. It has a simple but entertaining plot.

B. It is about friendship between college students. C. It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly.
