There are more than 12000 McDonald’s restaurants only in the US. You can find them in 100 countries on six continents. There isn’t a McDonald’s in Antarctica, but I don’t suppose they eat hamburgers at the South Pole. When you eat at a McDonald’s restaurant you are joining the 35 million people who eat and drink at McDonald’s every day, and there are more than one million people who work there.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015-2016學(xué)年湖北江漢油田廣華中學(xué)高二下期中考試英語(yǔ)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Several hundred strangers received “l(fā)ove letters” from a young man on the street. The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang，a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology, who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.

Yang's story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country's wealthiest cities. They have diplomas, rather than professional skills, and come to big cities in hopes of better lives, only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.

They are China's “ant tribe (蟻?zhàn)?”，a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe.“They're so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They're intelligent and hard?working, yet nameless and underpaid.”The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle－only the strongest survive.

A survey in Lian's another book published this year, Ant Tribe Ⅱ， found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities－almost three times last year's percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of “ants” have at least a master's degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.

An “ant's” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan, with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.

Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.

“Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their experiences in universities didn't arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities' employment markets.”Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.

The “ant tribe's” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang believed.

However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations.

1.Yang's story is introduced in order to ________.

A．a(chǎn)nalyze graduates' difficulties in finding jobs

B．lead to the topic of the article－“ant tribe”

C．tell readers a story about those big cities

D．show a clever way of dealing with pressure

2.“Ant tribe” members are similar to ants in the following aspects EXCEPT that ________.

A．they live in narrow and small places in groups

B．they work hard but earn little for survival

C．they are in a world judged by the jungle law

D．they are pleased with being nameless and underpaid

3.By writing this article, the author mainly intends to show________.

A．despite better education，“ants” are still struggling

B．despite difficulties，“ants” have a promising future

C．better education, better job opportunities

D．Ant Tribe is a good book to help understand today's China

Downing Street sources have indicated that the British tennis player，Andy Murray，will be Recommended for a knighthood(爵士頭銜)for ending Britain’s 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men’s champion title．David Cameron，the British prime minister，who was in the royal box on Sunday at Wimbledon told reporters that he couldn’t think of anyone who deserves one more．More news on the knighthood is surely to come, but Murray’s achievement has a twist in that he is Scottish, not English．

Also in the royal box show on Sunday was Scotland’s first minister, Alex Salmond, waving the white-and-blue Scottish flag in the row directly behind Cameron after the victory．No Scotsman had won the singles at Wimbledon since Harold Mahony in 1896．Salmond was later asked on BBC Radio whether Murray’s achievement had been a victory for Britain． “Absolutely，and for tennis fans everywhere，"Salmond said．“Let everyone enjoy the victory．But you will allow us just the little private thing．Let us wave our national flag．”

The Scottish government，headed by Salmond，has announced that Scotland will hold a referendum(全民票)on independence from Britain in September 2014．Murray，who lives in the London area but was born and raised in the Scottish town of Dunblane，has not said publicly which way he would vote on the issue，and his Wimbledon Championship will only mix interest in his views．

But this was a national moment．Murray’s semifinal victory over Jerzy

Janowicz drew a peak television audience of 13.24 million viewers, the biggest of the year in Britain．The final then topped that with a peak audience of 17.3 million，the biggest audience for a Wimbledon final since at least 1990, according to the B BC．

Only one name will go on the trophy(獎(jiǎng)杯)，but tennis at the highest level has now become a team event．Murray，who once had frequent fits of anger during matches，has transformed himself into a much more focused force with the help of an extensive support group．Murray’s rise to champion has clearly something to do with his decision to hire the former number one tennis champion Ivan Lendl as his coach just before the 2012 season．“He’s been very patient with me; I'm just happy I managed to do it for him．”

Onward Team Murray goes toward a defense of the United States Open title，beginning next month，and then eventually to defending at Wimbledon next year with the British drought(干旱) well and truly over．

1.The underlined word “twist” in the second paragraph refers to Murray’s_____.

A．a(chǎn)chievement B．knighthood

C．champion title D．nationality

2.What does the author mean by saying“the British drought well and truly over”?

A．Murray is concerned about the drought that struck Britain．

B．Drought in Britain will be over next year when Wimbledon is held．

C．British government’s rule over Scotland will come to an end soon．

D．The British people’s desire for a Wimbledon victory is fully satisfied．

3.What does the writer intend to tell us?

A．The whole Great Britain is enjoying Murray’s victory．

B．Scotland is going to gain independence from Britain

C．The secret lies behind Murray’s Wimbledon victory．

D．Murray was torn between the choices in the referendum．
