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(xí)題，附答案解析，供您備考練習(xí)。

1、We can infer from the passage that in the past an employee（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.had job security and opportunity of promotion

B.had to compete with each other to keep his job

C.had to undergo training all the time

D.had no difficulty climbing the corporate ladder

正確答案:A

答案解析:從第一段的句子“it is much harder than it used to be to offer good employee job security and an opportunity to climb the corporate ladder.”可以看出，過去一個好的職員很容易獲得事業(yè)保險（job security）和晉升的機會（opportunity to climb the corporate ladder），工作上的競爭并不殘酷，所以 B“必須和別人競爭”不對， C“必須總是接受培訓(xùn)”過去沒有，D故意曲解了句子的意思。因此答案應(yīng)該是 A。

2、The example of what Plato thought in the passage shows that（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.science development can solve many problems for philosophers

B.Plato knew nothing about Physics at his time

C.the scientists have achieved a lot in terms of light theory

D.different people have different ways of perception

正確答案:A

答案解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。第二段第一句指出，“科學(xué)家都傾向于認(rèn)為，所有有關(guān)哲學(xué)的問題最終會由科學(xué)來解決。我認(rèn)為對于許多哲學(xué)家仍爭論不休的問題，這一點是千真萬確的。”因此，A項正確，而B項顯然錯誤。C，D項雖說法正確，但不符合題意。

3、Advertising men dress people up in white coats because（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.it makes their advertisements more conspicuous

B.it makes their advertisements more convincing

C.the majority of TV doctors are dressed up in white coats

D.it makes the actors take the job seriously

正確答案:B

答案解析: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. 他們會把任何人包裝成穿白大褂、看起來像無可置疑的權(quán)威。因此選B。

4、According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm\'s competitive advantage is（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.the introduction of new technologies

B.the improvement of workers\' basic skills

C.the rational composition of professional and managerial employees

D.the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employees

正確答案:B

答案解析:根據(jù)本文，保持公司競爭優(yōu)勢的決定性因素是什么。文章開頭第一句話便指出：“如果持續(xù)性的競爭優(yōu)勢取決于勞動者技能的話，那么美國公司正面臨著難題”。第三段中又指出：“員工基本技能的培訓(xùn)使得他們吸收掌握新技術(shù)成為可能。”B項“提高工人的基本技能”與文章內(nèi)容相近，故B為正確答案。

5、The decrease in world food prices was a result of（）.【閱讀理解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

正確答案:D

答案解析:只要仔細(xì)閱讀，便知道本題的答案可在第2段里找到，因為該段第1句指出，由于北美洲連續(xù)兩年出現(xiàn)了特大豐收，而第3年又是豐收在望。因此答案應(yīng)該是選項D。雖然最后一段提到present production is running as 51 percent above pre-war leve1s…，但這不等于說，所有進(jìn)口糧食的國家都糧食生產(chǎn)過剩，故選項C是錯的。文中未提及選項A和B，故這兩個選項是錯的。
