2024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、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。

2、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。

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、What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm?（）【阅读理解A】

A.He is one of the most important executives in the firm

B.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced

C.He is directly under the chief financial executive

D.He has no say in making important decisions in the firm

正确答案:D

答案解析:问在美国公司中人力资源部经理一职地位如何。第2段第4句话指出：“担任人力资源部经理一职者在公司作出重大决策时从未被咨询过，也没有机会升任公司总经理。”D项说，“他在公司作重大决定时没有发言权。”两句意思相符，故D为正确答案。

5、Seventy-eight percent of left-handed mothers hold their babies on the left side. This fact contradict the theory（）.【阅读理解A】

A.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the heart-beating on the left

B.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population

C.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the predominance of left-handedness in the population

D.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the heart-beating on the right

正确答案:B

答案解析:推断题。78%的以左手为主的母亲也是左手兜住自己的孩子，与…it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. By holding the babies in their left arms, the mothers keep their dominant arm free fｏｒmanipulations. “人们以右手为主的这种优势造成的结果。母亲用自己的左手抱住婴儿，从而就能腾出自己主要的手臂来从事各种操作。”相悖。因此选B。
