参考答案和解析
事实细节的找寻和判断。从录音中提到的“The RAMAC, designed in Big Blue’s San Jose, Calif., research center”，可知RAMAC是在Big Blue’s San Jose, Calif., research center 制造的，而非B项提到的IBM research center。此外，C项中的24 spinning disks与录音中its 50 spinning…disks的内容不符。关于租用该设备的价格，录音中提到“to lease it you’d pay about $250,000 a year in today’s dollars”，而选项D则指出租赁价格为$260,000，显然与录音原文不符。A项的内容在录音中直接出现过。
【录音原文】
On September l3, 1956, IBM shipped the first unit of the RAMAC, in other words, Random Access Method of Accounting and Control. The RAMAC, designed in Big Blue’s San Jose, Calif., research center would have made a lousy music player. The drive weighed a full ton, and to lease it you’d pay about $250, 000 a year in today’s dollars. Since it required a separate air compressor to protect the two moving “heads” that read and wrote information, it was noisy. The total amount of information stored in its 50 spinning iron-oxide-coated disks—each of them a pizza-size 24 inches—was 5 megabytes.

B.The skyscrapers first appeared in the late 1960s

DMcDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.
正确答案： D解析：
文章首段提到“Since its founding in 1948”，麦当劳成立于1948年，故A项正确；由“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.”可知，麦当劳起初规模很小，而现在全球3万多个城市都有麦当劳的分店，故C、D两项正确。B项“麦当劳在全世界每个城市都有分店”过于绝对，首段只提到其在118个国家有分店。故本题选B。 -
