2025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 passage tells us that some manufacturers, instead of changing their product, would prefer to change its （）.【阅读理解A】

A.production cost

B.quality

C.market value

D.appeal

正确答案:D

答案解析:第三段If, therefore, fｏｒone reason ｏｒanother, some alteration seems called for, how much better to change the image, the packet ｏｒthe pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself. 一旦需要改变产品，最好的办法莫过于改变外观形象、包装或产品定位而不是不辞辛苦改变产品本身。“改变外观形象、包装或产品定位”都是指D。

2、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。

3、The word “oscillated” (Line 3, Paragraph 3) most probably means（）.【阅读理解A】

A.fell

B.climbed

C.developed

D.swang

正确答案:D

答案解析:这个词的意思可以根据文中第三段所用的明喻判断出来。文中说，整个1990年代，土耳其的GDP增长就好像“遭受了猛烈的心脏病发作时的心电图一样”，可见GDP增长时高时低，峰谷之间的差异较大，所以oscillated最有可能的意思就是“摆动，震荡”，只有D中的swang意思与之相符。

4、Why is the question of “how easily people can get used to working at night” not a mere academic question?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Because few people like to reverse the cycle of sleep ａｎｄ　wakefulness

B.Because sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness

C.Because people are required to work at night in some fields of industry

D.Because shift work in industry requires people to change their sleeping habits

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题问“人们能否迅速地适应晚上工作为什么不再是一个纯学术问题”，要求考生按照文章内容进行推断。文章说到，自动化生产要求机器24小时不停地工作，工人也要分3班昼夜轮流工作，因而人们设法适应这种情况是实际生活的需要。因此选项D是答案。选项C只是说在某些行业要上夜班，并未提及倒班，不是本题问及的内容。选项A和选项B与文章内容没有联系。

5、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。
