材料题

阅读下列材料:

材料一 伯利克里说:“我们的政体确可称为民主政体,因为行 * * 不是握在少数人手里,而是掌握在多数人手中。”

材料二 下面是18世纪英国某政治家对英国政体的描述:立法机构中的代表权是合法政府的基础。……国王是议会的一部分,所以这也是他适当享有立法权的理由……当既定法律提出时,君主不得自始就擅做变动,但可以同意或反对由两院提出和赞同的变动。而且,没有行政机构的同意,立法机构亦不得剥夺目前行政机构依法获得的任何权力。由此可见,英国政体实有优越之处,他使各方面互相牵制。在立法机构中,人民牵制贵族,贵族牵制人民。两院则防止行政机构越权。这样,正如机械中的三个分力,共同代表公众的自由和幸福之路线的方向。

材料三 自由主义过分强调权利的个体性,主张幸福生活的个人特殊性,反对公共权力对公民美好生活的积极建构;民主主义过于重视公民个体对公共生活的话语权力与决策诉求,怀疑政治精英的公民道德状况及其审慎理性水平。这为美国宪法制定者所不能接受,他们制定的美国宪法以共和主义为政体框架,试图超越自由主义与民主主义……主张政府权力尤其是司法权保持与民众的适当距离,反对政府与公共权力的正当性对于民意情绪的过度依赖;倡导全体公民美德的培育,强调政治精英领导责任、审慎理性下的共和主义政治观。共和主义是一种以公共利益为核心,主张社会各阶层共享 * * 的混合政府思想体系与国家政治设计方案。

——万绍红《共和主义与美国宪法的主要原则》

单项选择题

Americans are often in a hurry. They rush to work, rush home, and rush through their meals. Workers and students usually have only half hour or an hour for lunch. As a result, a lot of Americans go and eat in fast food restaurants. The service is quick, and the prices are cheap.
What do fast food restaurants serve Of course, many of them have hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, or ice cream. But other fast food restaurants specialize (专门从事) in different foods. Some places serve roast beef. Some serve fish and seafood. In fact, you can find popular foreign dishes in fast food restaurants, too. There are Italian restaurants with Italian sausage (香肠) and spaghetti (通心粉). And there are Chinese restaurants with Cantonese (粤式的) or Sichuan foods.

What is the passage mainly about
[A] American fast food restaurants and their advantages.
[B] American fast food restaurants and their disadvantages.
[C] American fast food restaurants, their advantages and disadvantages.
[D] Increasing needs of Americans for fast food.

A lot of fast food restaurants are franchises (产品经销特许权), a very popular form of business in the United States. There are many restaurants in a franchise, and each franchise has a different owner. However, all of the restaurants are under one central management, and the name of the restaurants is the same everywhere in the United States — and in foreign countries, too. This kind of central control guarantees that, for example McDonald’s hamburgers and Kentucky Fried Chicken taste the same everywhere.
In modern American life, fast food restaurants are very important. They provide quick and inexpensive meals for American people in a hurry.
