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 decrease in world food prices was a result of（）.【阅读理解A】

A.a sharp fall in the purchasing power of the consumers

B.a sharp fall in the cost of food production

C.the overproduction of food in the food-importing countries

D.the overproduction on the part of the main food-exporting countries

正确答案:D

答案解析:只要仔细阅读，便知道本题的答案可在第2段里找到，因为该段第1句指出，由于北美洲连续两年出现了特大丰收，而第3年又是丰收在望。因此答案应该是选项D。虽然最后一段提到present production is running as 51 percent above pre-war leve1s…，但这不等于说，所有进口粮食的国家都粮食生产过剩，故选项C是错的。文中未提及选项A和B，故这两个选项是错的。

2、The main problem of the round-the-clock working system lies in（）.【阅读理解A】

A.the inconveniences brought about to the workers by the introduction of automation

B.the disturbance of the daily life cycle of workers who have to change shifts too frequently

C.the fact that people working at night are often less effective

D.the fact that it is difficult to find a number of good night workers

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题要求考生住第2段的中心大意，正确回答24小时轮班工作的主要问题在哪里。第2段最后一句说，工人“刚刚习惯了某一班次的时间安排，却又要倒班了。这样，他在大部分时间里工作和睡眠效率都不高。”所以关键在于工人的日常生活周期规律被打乱了。选项B是答案，而选项A文章没有提及。选项C不符合文章的原意，文章是说工人在适应新的工作班次之前效率不高，并不只是夜间工作效率不高。文章没有提到D项内容。

3、What does the writer of this passage think of the ideas of Ghoshal ａｎｄ　Bartlett?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Very instructive

B.Very inspiring

C.Hard to implement

D.Quite harsh

正确答案:C

答案解析:从第三段“Unfortunately, they promise more than they deliver.”可以看出作者对Ghoshal 和 Bartlett的观点是不以为然的，作者认为这两个人许诺的比实际提供的要多，所以作者对这两个人的看法是他们的观点不切实际。

4、Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies？（）【阅读理解A】

A.They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills

B.They see the gaining of skills as their employees\' own business

C.They attach more importance to workers than to equipment

D.They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition

正确答案:B

答案解析:问下列哪种情况与美国公司人才管理状况相符。第1段第3句话指出：“掌握劳动技能被认为是个人自己的责任。”B项说，“公司把获得劳动技能看成是受雇者自己的事。”可见，这两句内容相吻合。A、C、D三项又与原文不符，故B为正确答案。

5、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。
