2021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。縱觀全文，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、According to the last paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.Nobody benefits from tipping in the case of restaurant

B.Waiters are not motivated from tipping

C.Tipping does not benefit management of the restaurant

D.Tips should go into the decent wages of service people

正確答案:A

答案解析:題干要求找出不正確的選項。B、C項為事實。D項為作者觀點，從文章最后一句推知。A項推論過急，實際上，我們可看出“service people”從小費中得到了好處。

3、The main reason for the rise in food prices is that（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.people are buying less food

B.the government is providing less financial support for agriculture

C.domestic food production has decreased

D.imported food is driving prices higher

正確答案:B

答案解析:本題問的問題是，英國食品價格上漲的主要原因是什么？仔細閱讀文章，便知本題的答案可在第3段第1句里找到，即……due chiefly  to the gradual cutting down of government support for food。因此，選項B是答案。文中雖提到people are buying less food（第3段最后一句），但這是因為糧食價格高，與選項“使糧食價格上漲的主要原因”，無關(guān)，因此選項A是錯的。文章未提及選項C和D，因此這兩個選項是錯的。

4、Most people think that mothers hold their babies in their left arms（）.【閱讀理解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

正確答案:D

答案解析:細節(jié)題。這道題關(guān)鍵要注意到題目中的Most people think…，多數(shù)人認為… 文中說“…most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population”?！按蠖鄶?shù)人會回答說，顯然這是人們以右手為主的這種優(yōu)勢造成的結(jié)果?！?因此選D。

5、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”過去沒有，D故意曲解了句子的意思。因此答案應該是 A。
