2020年MBA考試《英語》考試共48題，分為英譯漢和寫作和完形填空和閱讀理解A和閱讀理解B。小編為您整理第四章 閱讀理解A5道練習題，附答案解析，供您備考練習。

1、What is the main idea of the passage?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource management

B.Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human-resource management

C.The head of human-resource management must be in the central position in a firm\'s hierarchy

D.The human-resource management strategies of American firms affect their competitive capacity

正確答案:D

答案解析:問文章大意是什么?？v觀全文，講的主要是美國公司對人才管理的重視程度不夠，對員工基本技能培訓不足以及這種狀況對公司競爭力的影響。A、B、C三項的內(nèi)容文中均提到過，但沒有展開論述。D項“美國公司的人才管理策略影響它們的競爭力”貼近全文，故為正確答案。

2、To a baby that has just been born, our world is（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.strange and frighteningly new

B.new and more at peace

C.fixated as the sound of the heart beat

D.calm and effective

正確答案:A

答案解析:細節(jié)題。第二段告訴我們…especially as it has just been thrust into a strange and frighteningly new world outside. 這個世界對于剛出生的嬰兒來說是a strange and frighteningly new world，因此選A。

3、From the third paragraph of the passage, we can conclude that young adults tend to believe that certain types of clothing can（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.change people’s conservative attitudes towards their lifestyles

B.help young people make friends with the opposite sex

C.make them competitive in the job market

D.help them achieve success in their interpersonal relationships

正確答案:D

答案解析:此題要求做出結(jié)論。文章第三段第四句認為自己積極與人交往的大學生說他們注重自己的外表并成功扮演自己的角色?？梢耘袛郉符合文章內(nèi)容及題意，正確答案是D。A與第二段最后一句相矛盾，B與第三段第二句不符，C不合題意。

4、The mother who holds her baby on the left（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.knows that her heart-beat has a calming effect on the baby

B.keeps her dominant arm free for manipulations

C.instinctively or by 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

正確答案:C

答案解析:主旨題。經(jīng)過觀察發(fā)現(xiàn)：…the mother, either instinctively or by 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.“母親或許是本能地，或許是經(jīng)過一系列的無意識的成敗試驗后很快發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果她的嬰兒被抱在左側(cè)貼近心臟處，要比抱在右側(cè)乖得多”，因此才有第一段中的現(xiàn)象：80％的母親是左手兜住自己的孩子，把孩子放在自己身體的左側(cè)。因此C正確。

5、The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.workers who can operate new equipment

B.technological and managerial staff

C.workers who lack basic background skills

D.top executives

正確答案:B

答案解析:問美國公司用于培訓的資金去向何處。第3段中講：“……美國公司在培訓職工技能方面的投資比日本和德國公司都要少。他們所投資的對象的確也僅是更多地集中在專業(yè)人員和管理人員身上。用于培訓員工的那部分有限的資金也是更多地用于培訓員工做好一份新工作所需的具體技能而不是用于培訓員工的基本技能。然而正是這些基本技能使得員工能夠吸收掌握新技術(shù)?！盇、C兩項內(nèi)容與原文不符。D項“高級經(jīng)理”實際上是包括在B項“技術(shù)人員和管理人員”中的，因為“高級經(jīng)理”也是管理人員的一部分。而且，B項與本段第二句話意思相近，故應為正確答案。
