2023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 example of what Plato thought in the passage shows that（）.【阅读理解A】

A.science development can solve many problems fｏｒphilosophers

B.Plato knew nothing about Physics at his time

C.the scientists have achieved a lot in terms of light theory

D.different people have different ways of perception

正确答案:A

答案解析:细节题。第二段第一句指出，“科学家都倾向于认为，所有有关哲学的问题最终会由科学来解决。我认为对于许多哲学家仍争论不休的问题，这一点是千真万确的。”因此，A项正确，而B项显然错误。C，D项虽说法正确，但不符合题意。

2、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 fｏｒthem to choose

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

C.men are more favorably judged fｏｒmanagerial 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。

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 fｏｒgiving 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, ｏｒattracts love, ｏｒsignifies 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 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。

5、The mother who holds her baby on the left（）.【阅读理解A】

A.knows that her heart-beat has a calming effect on the baby

B.keeps her dominant arm free fｏｒmanipulations

C.instinctively ｏｒby an unconscious series of trials ａｎｄ　errors soon arrives at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart

D.gives the usual fondling, cuddling ａｎｄ　cleaning little comment

正确答案:C

答案解析:主旨题。经过观察发现：…the mother, either instinctively ｏｒby an unconscious series of trials ａｎｄ　errors would soon arrive at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart, than on the right.“母亲或许是本能地，或许是经过一系列的无意识的成败试验后很快发现，如果她的婴儿被抱在左侧贴近心脏处，要比抱在右侧乖得多”，因此才有第一段中的现象：80％的母亲是左手兜住自己的孩子，把孩子放在自己身体的左侧。因此C正确。
