2021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, many career women find themselves in difficult situations because（）.【阅读理解A】

A.the variety of professional clothing is too wide for them to choose

B.women are generally thought to be only good at being fashion models

C.men are more favorably judged for managerial positions

D.they are not sure to what extent they should display their feminine qualities through clothing

正确答案:D

答案解析:第四段第二句指出：许多职业女性对自己职业的服装应该如何兼有“男性”和“女性”特点把握不好。D项内容与此相符，因此正确答案是D。A在逻辑上本身就是错误的；B与文章毫无相关联；C与文章内容也相去甚远。

2、The word “precedents” (Line 1, Para. 4) probably refers to（）.【阅读理解A】

A.early acts for men to follow as examples

B.particular places for men to occupy especially because of their importance

C.things that men should agree upon

D.men’s beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided

正确答案:A

答案解析:该题要求根据上下文推测precedent的词义。分析第四段第一句可以看出precedent和role models一起是并列宾语，所以precedent意义与role models类似，另外从构词法角度分析前缀re前面，在四个选择项当中，符合以上二点要求的只有A项，正确答案是A。

3、Advertising are appreciated by manufacturers because they（）.【阅读理解A】

A.advise them on ways of giving a product customer appeal

B.accept responsibility for giving a product customer appeal

C.advise them on the best time to go ahead with production

D.consult them during the design and development stages

正确答案:B

答案解析:第二段The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in clover.在产品设计和研发阶段，厂家可以有足够的时间来考虑而不必担心是否每个人都会买它。设计人员在忙于考虑诸如劳动力时间、机器强度以及压力因素时可以不考虑消费者喜好的因素。所以他们可以只管生产出产品然后让广告商通过声称此商品象征身份、地位，能够吸引爱情或是彰显男人魅力等，去寻找足够的理由来吸引消费者购买。倘若广告代理果真能做到足够令人信服，厂家则可高枕无忧了。因此选B。

4、The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to（）.【阅读理解A】

A.workers who can operate new equipment

B.technological and managerial staff

C.workers who lack basic background skills

D.top executives

正确答案:B

答案解析:问美国公司用于培训的资金去向何处。第3段中讲：“……美国公司在培训职工技能方面的投资比日本和德国公司都要少。他们所投资的对象的确也仅是更多地集中在专业人员和管理人员身上。用于培训员工的那部分有限的资金也是更多地用于培训员工做好一份新工作所需的具体技能而不是用于培训员工的基本技能。然而正是这些基本技能使得员工能够吸收掌握新技术。”A、C两项内容与原文不符。D项“高级经理”实际上是包括在B项“技术人员和管理人员”中的，因为“高级经理”也是管理人员的一部分。而且，B项与本段第二句话意思相近，故应为正确答案。

5、What is Turkey’s economic situation now?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Its GDP per head is far lagging behind that of the EU members

B.Its inflation rate is still rising

C.Its economy grows faster than any EU member

D.Its economic resilience is very strong

正确答案:C

答案解析:根据文章第二段，土耳其的经济发展“十分惊人”。接着，作者以数据说明土耳其本年度第二季度的GDP增长“no EU country comes close to matching”，可见其经济发展速度超过任何欧盟成员。
