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、Why didn\'t the government\'s expansion programme work very well?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Because the farmers were uncertain about the financial support the government guaranteed

B.Because the farmers were uncertain fｏｒthe benefits of expanding production

C.Because the farmers were uncertain whether foreign markets could be found fｏｒtheir produce

D.Because the older generation of farmers were strongly against the programme

正确答案:B

答案解析:由于文章未提及A项和C项，故这两个选项是错的。虽然文章最后一段提到the older generation，但并没有说老一辈的农民反对英国政府发展农业的计划，故选项D也是错的。本文最后一段的第2句和最后一句指出，尽管当前的粮食价格和市场是有保障的，但农民担心他们很可能被夹在廉价的进口粮食和日益缩小的国内市场之间，因而对政府扩大粮食生产的号召不怎么热心。根据这两句话，可以推断出答案应该是选项B。

2、According to Christopher Bartlett what will improve "employability"?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Ability to lay out one\'s talents to employers

B.Skills ａｎｄ　knowledge accumulated from school education

C.Training opportunity ａｎｄ　guidance offered by company

D.Being creative ａｎｄ　ready to share collective wisdom

正确答案:C

答案解析:文中第二段employability后面的一句解释，在上下文中特指通过公司培养和引导，而提高雇员的水平。不是获取职位的能力，或者在学校中获取的知识和技能。

3、Why is there "wide-spread uneasiness ａｎｄ　confusion about the food situation in Britain？"（）【阅读理解A】

A.The abundant food supply is not expected to last

B.Britain is importing less food

C.Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising

D.Britain will cut back on its production of food

正确答案:C

答案解析:只要考生仔细阅读，便可看出本文的第1段第5句Why do food prices keep on rising，when there seems to be so much food about？回答了这个问题。因此选项C是答案。文中未提及A项、B项和D项，因此这3个选项都不合适。

4、What are the functions of studying philosophies mentioned in the passage?（）【阅读理解A】

A.It would make our own idea flexible

B.It would help prepare us fｏｒthe future ａｎｄ　guide our actions

C.It would enable us to understａｎｄ　how things develop as to better tackle the future

D.All of the above

正确答案:D

答案解析:推断题。A项在第一段开头就已提到。第四段第一句话说道，“但是我们得为将来做准备，没有一些哲学知识，我们是无法理性地做到这一点的。”因此，B项应该是符合题意的。而C项在最后一段也有谈到。所以，答案应选 D。

A.it makes their advertisements more conspicuous

B.it makes their advertisements more convincing

C.the majority of TV doctors are dressed up in white coats

D.it makes the actors take the job seriously

正确答案:B

答案解析:最后一段They will dress anyone up in a white coat to appear like an unimpeachable authority or, failing that, they will even be happy with the announcement. 他们会把任何人包装成穿白大褂、看起来像无可置疑的权威。因此选B。
