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 the passage, the way we dress（）.【阅读理解A】

A.provides clues fｏｒpeople who are critical of us

B.indicates our likes ａｎｄ　dislikes in choosing a career

C.has a direct influence on the way people regard us

D.is of particular importance when we get on in age

正确答案:C

答案解析:此题考核综合概括能力。文章第一句就概括了全文中心：人的衣着在判断一个人时起关键作用（Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to），文章第二段和第三段已反复阐明这一中心思想。由此判断C与文章内容一致，正确答案是C。A不符合文章第二段及第三段内容。B、D二项内容没有被提及。

2、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。

3、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。

4、What is the main idea of this text?（）【阅读理解A】

A.The argument whether philosophy will ultimately be solved by science ｏｒnot

B.The importance of learning philosophies, especially the history of philosophy

C.The difference between philosophy ａｎｄ　science

D.A discuss about how to ｓｅｔa proper attitude towards future

正确答案:B

答案解析:主旨题。文章第一段介绍了我们为什么要学习哲学;第二段和第三段介绍了哲学和科学的联系和差别；第四段说明了学习哲学的必然性；最后一段总结了我们为什么要学习哲学。因此，本文的大意应是学习哲学的必要性，所以选B。

5、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。
