2020年MBA考试《英语》考试共48题，分为英译汉和写作和完形填空和阅读理解A和阅读理解B。小编为您整理第四章 阅读理解A5道练习题，附答案解析，供您备考练习。

1、According to the passage, the way we dress（）.【阅读理解A】

A.provides clues for people who are critical of us

B.indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a career

C.has a direct influence on the way people regard us

D.is of particular importance when we get on in age

正确答案:C

答案解析:此题考核综合概括能力。文章第一句就概括了全文中心：人的衣着在判断一个人时起关键作用（Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to），文章第二段和第三段已反复阐明这一中心思想。由此判断C与文章内容一致，正确答案是C。A不符合文章第二段及第三段内容。B、D二项内容没有被提及。

2、What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm?（）【阅读理解A】

A.He is one of the most important executives in the firm

B.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced

C.He is directly under the chief financial executive

D.He has no say in making important decisions in the firm

正确答案:D

答案解析:问在美国公司中人力资源部经理一职地位如何。第2段第4句话指出：“担任人力资源部经理一职者在公司作出重大决策时从未被咨询过，也没有机会升任公司总经理。”D项说，“他在公司作重大决定时没有发言权。”两句意思相符，故D为正确答案。

3、In their work, Ghoshal and Bartlett discuss（）.【阅读理解A】

A.changes in business organizations

B.contracts between employers and employees

C.employment situation

D.management ideas

正确答案:D

答案解析:根据文中提到的，Ghoshal 和 Bartlett不仅讨论了企业的组织形式，还讨论了企业应该提供给员工一个创新的环境，以及对企业员工的培训和管理，最后达到企业发展的目的。因此用企业管理来概括他们的观念更合适。

4、The following sentence（）is right.【阅读理解A】

A.The author thinks that we can learn nothing new from the usual fondling, cuddling and cleaning of babies by their mothers

B.It is rather unusual for a mother to hold her baby against her body when resting

C.Eighty percent of American mothers put their babies on the left side of the cradle

D.The author does not agree that there is a predominance of right-handedness in the population

正确答案:D

答案解析:文章第一段第四句If asked to explain the significance of this preference most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. （如果问及这种偏好的原因，大多数人回答显然是因为人口中右撇子占多数的结果），但是第6句作者表明 But a detailed analysis shows that this is not the case（但是一项细致的分析表明事实并不是这样的），可见作者不同意人口中右撇子居多。

5、Why is the question of “how easily people can get used to working at night” not a mere academic question?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Because few people like to reverse the cycle of sleep and wakefulness

B.Because sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness

C.Because people are required to work at night in some fields of industry

D.Because shift work in industry requires people to change their sleeping habits

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题问“人们能否迅速地适应晚上工作为什么不再是一个纯学术问题”，要求考生按照文章内容进行推断。文章说到，自动化生产要求机器24小时不停地工作，工人也要分3班昼夜轮流工作，因而人们设法适应这种情况是实际生活的需要。因此选项D是答案。选项C只是说在某些行业要上夜班，并未提及倒班，不是本题问及的内容。选项A和选项B与文章内容没有联系。
