2020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、In the third paragraph, several data are quoted in order to（）.【阅读理解A】

A.show the different tipping level between different jobs

B.compare cultural difference between America and Europe

C.show the tipping custom has become institutionalized

D.tell us the Standardized tipping level in several cases

正确答案:C

答案解析:从第3段第2句“In America, the custom has become institutionalized”可推知，后面引用的数据都是说明作者的这个观点。

2、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 for the benefits of expanding production

C.Because the farmers were uncertain whether foreign markets could be found for their 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。

3、Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies？（）【阅读理解A】

A.They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills

B.They see the gaining of skills as their employees\' own business

C.They attach more importance to workers than to equipment

D.They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition

正确答案:B

答案解析:问下列哪种情况与美国公司人才管理状况相符。第1段第3句话指出：“掌握劳动技能被认为是个人自己的责任。”B项说，“公司把获得劳动技能看成是受雇者自己的事。”可见，这两句内容相吻合。A、C、D三项又与原文不符，故B为正确答案。

4、Which of the following word best describes the author\'s attitude towards the Cornell paper?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Positive

B.Negative

C.Indifferent

D.Disapproval

正确答案:A

A.because of the fact that the heart is on the left side of the mother\'s body

B.because of the fact that the heart is on the left side of the baby\'s body

C.in order to keep their left arms free for other work

D.in order to keep their right arms free for other work

正确答案:D

答案解析:细节题。这道题关键要注意到题目中的Most people think…，多数人认为… 文中说“…most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population”。“大多数人会回答说，显然这是人们以右手为主的这种优势造成的结果。” 因此选D。
