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、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。

2、This passage seems to be a(n)（）. 【阅读理解A】

A.book review

B.advertisement

C.news report

D.research paper

正确答案:A

答案解析:是一篇书评，从最后一段，“The authｏｒoffers a few examples of companies…but they offer little useful guidance…”可知。

3、Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Body temperature may serve as an indication of a worker’s performance

B.The selection of a number of permanent night shift workers has proved to be the best solution to problems of the round-the-clock working system

C.Taking body temperature at regular intervals can show how a person adapts to the changes of routine

D.Disturbed sleep occurs less frequently among those on permanent night ｏｒday shifts

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题要求对4个选项进行判断，找出不符合文章意思的选项来。选项A符合第4段第2句的意思，因此不是答案。选项C符合文章第4段第4句的意思，因此也不是答案。选项D符合第3段中Brown的有关的发现，因此也不是答案。选项B说“挑选一批固定做夜班的工人（has proved to be the best solution）”。但是，文章第4段只是说，这似乎是（appears to be）最好的办法和长远之计，但并没有得到实际应用（见文章最后一句）。因此选项B不符合文章原意（NOT TRUE），这就是题目所要求的答案。

4、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。

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。
