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、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。

2、In their work, Ghoshal ａｎｄ　Bartlett discuss（）.【阅读理解A】

A.changes in business organizations

B.contracts between employers ａｎｄ　employees

C.employment situation

D.management ideas

正确答案:D

答案解析:根据文中提到的，Ghoshal 和 Bartlett不仅讨论了企业的组织形式，还讨论了企业应该提供给员工一个创新的环境，以及对企业员工的培训和管理，最后达到企业发展的目的。因此用企业管理来概括他们的观念更合适。

3、The main reason fｏｒthe rise in food prices is that（）.【阅读理解A】

A.people are buying less food

B.the government is providing less financial support fｏｒagriculture

C.domestic food production has decreased

D.imported food is driving prices higher

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题问的问题是，英国食品价格上涨的主要原因是什么？仔细阅读文章，便知本题的答案可在第3段第1句里找到，即……due chiefly  to the gradual cutting down of government support fｏｒfood。因此，选项B是答案。文中虽提到people are buying less food（第3段最后一句），但这是因为粮食价格高，与选项“使粮食价格上涨的主要原因”，无关，因此选项A是错的。文章未提及选项C和D，因此这两个选项是错的。

4、The following sentence（）is right.【阅读理解A】

A.The authｏｒthinks that we can learn nothing new from the usual fondling, cuddling ａｎｄ　cleaning of babies by their mothers

B.It is rather unusual fｏｒa mother to hold her baby against her body when resting

C.Eighty percent of American mothers put their babies on the left side of the cradle

D.The authｏｒdoes not agree that there is a predominance of right-handedness in the population

正确答案:D

答案解析:文章第一段第四句If asked to explain the significance of this preference most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. （如果问及这种偏好的原因，大多数人回答显然是因为人口中右撇子占多数的结果），但是第6句作者表明 But a detailed analysis shows that this is not the case（但是一项细致的分析表明事实并不是这样的），可见作者不同意人口中右撇子居多。

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。
