2022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、The word “precedents” (Line 1, Para. 4) probably refers to（）.【阅读理解A】

A.early acts fｏｒmen to follow as examples

B.particular places fｏｒmen 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。

2、Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Body temperature may serve as an indication of a worker’s performance

B.The selection of a number of permanent night shift workers has proved to be the best solution to problems of the round-the-clock working system

C.Taking body temperature at regular intervals can show how a person adapts to the changes of routine

D.Disturbed sleep occurs less frequently among those on permanent night ｏｒday shifts

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题要求对4个选项进行判断，找出不符合文章意思的选项来。选项A符合第4段第2句的意思，因此不是答案。选项C符合文章第4段第4句的意思，因此也不是答案。选项D符合第3段中Brown的有关的发现，因此也不是答案。选项B说“挑选一批固定做夜班的工人（has proved to be the best solution）”。但是，文章第4段只是说，这似乎是（appears to be）最好的办法和长远之计，但并没有得到实际应用（见文章最后一句）。因此选项B不符合文章原意（NOT TRUE），这就是题目所要求的答案。

3、We can infer from the passage that in the past an employee（）.【阅读理解A】

A.had job security ａｎｄ　opportunity of promotion

B.had to compete with each other to keep his job

C.had to undergo training all the time

D.had no difficulty climbing the corporate ladder

正确答案:A

答案解析:从第一段的句子“it is much harder than it used to be to offer good employee job security ａｎｄ　an opportunity to climb the corporate ladder.”可以看出，过去一个好的职员很容易获得事业保险（job security）和晋升的机会（opportunity to climb the corporate ladder），工作上的竞争并不残酷，所以 B“必须和别人竞争”不对， C“必须总是接受培训”过去没有，D故意曲解了句子的意思。因此答案应该是 A。

4、The passage tells us that some manufacturers, instead of changing their product, would prefer to change its （）.【阅读理解A】

A.production cost

B.quality

C.market value

D.appeal

正确答案:D

答案解析:第三段If, therefore, fｏｒone reason ｏｒanother, some alteration seems called for, how much better to change the image, the packet ｏｒthe pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself. 一旦需要改变产品，最好的办法莫过于改变外观形象、包装或产品定位而不是不辞辛苦改变产品本身。“改变外观形象、包装或产品定位”都是指D。

5、It is possible to find out if a person has adapted to the changes of routine by measuring his body temperature because（）.【阅读理解A】

A.body temperature changes when the cycle of sleep ａｎｄ　wakefulness alternates

B.body temperature changes when he changes to night shift ｏｒback

C.the temperature reverses when the routine is changed

D.people have higher temperatures when they are working efficiently

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题考了一个重要的细节：为什么量体温能看出一个人是否已经适应新的工作时间呢？根据4第段第3句，正常日班工作时工作效率高，体温也稍高。文章接着又说，改变工作安排之后，有一个适应过程，体温变动模式也随着适应程度的变化而变化，效率高时体温也高一些。所以选项D是答案。这一点还可以从这一句最后的particularly in terms of performance中看出。选项A不全面，没有指出体温变化与身体的适应程度大体上一致这一点，也没有指出可以根据其工作好坏判断。同样的道理，选项B和选项C也不对。
