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 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。

2、What did the future look like fｏｒBritain\'s food production at the time this article was written？（）【阅读理解A】

A.The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers

B.An expansion of food production was at hand

C.British food producers would receive more government financial support

D.It looks depressing despite government guarantees.

正确答案:D

答案解析:仔细阅读本文，便知本题的答案可由第5段第2和第3句引出，因此答案应该是选D。由于文章第3段第1句的government support说的是the gradual cutting down of government support fｏｒfood，不是说英国政府对粮食生产者提供财政上的支持，因此选项C是错的。文中内容并未涉及选项A和B，因此A项和B项也是错的。

3、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。

4、The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to（）.【阅读理解A】

A.workers who can operate new equipment

B.technological ａｎｄ　managerial staff

C.workers who lack basic background skills

D.top executives

正确答案:B

答案解析:问美国公司用于培训的资金去向何处。第3段中讲：“……美国公司在培训职工技能方面的投资比日本和德国公司都要少。他们所投资的对象的确也仅是更多地集中在专业人员和管理人员身上。用于培训员工的那部分有限的资金也是更多地用于培训员工做好一份新工作所需的具体技能而不是用于培训员工的基本技能。然而正是这些基本技能使得员工能够吸收掌握新技术。”A、C两项内容与原文不符。D项“高级经理”实际上是包括在B项“技术人员和管理人员”中的，因为“高级经理”也是管理人员的一部分。而且，B项与本段第二句话意思相近，故应为正确答案。

5、According to the passage, doctors are most successful when they are（）.【阅读理解A】

A.authoritative

B.logical

C.emotional

D.scientific

正确答案:A

答案解析:第四段As fｏｒMedicine, any doctor will confirm that a large part of his job is not clinical treatment but faith healing. His apparently scientific approach enables his patients to believe that he knows exactly what is wrong with them ａｎｄ　exactly what they need to put them right…至于医药，任何一位医生都会确信他的工作在很大程度上不是临床治疗而是信念治疗。他看起来科学的方法使病人相信医生确切知道他们的病情所在以及需要什么加以救治…；最后一段They will dress anyone up in a white coat to appear like an unimpeachable authority or, failing that, they will even be happy with the announcement. 他们会把任何人包装成穿白大褂、看起来像无可置疑的权威。因此选A。
