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(xí)題，附答案解析，供您備考練習(xí)。

1、What field can not our descendants know?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.The origin of human beings

B.Some questions that perplex us today

C.Many philosophical problems which Marx and Engels wrote rather little

D.The future

正確答案:D

答案解析:推斷題。由第三段第一句話But if our descendants know the answers to these questions and others that perplex us today, there will still be one field of which they do not know, namely the future. However exact our science; we cannot know it as we know the past. 就算我們的子孫知道了這些問題和那些現(xiàn)在仍困擾我們的問題的答案，那么仍然有一個(gè)領(lǐng)域是他們無從了解的，那就是將來。所以，選項(xiàng)D是正確的。

2、According to the passage, the way we dress（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.provides clues for people who are critical of us

B.indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a career

C.has a direct influence on the way people regard us

D.is of particular importance when we get on in age

正確答案:C

答案解析:此題考核綜合概括能力。文章第一句就概括了全文中心：人的衣著在判斷一個(gè)人時(shí)起關(guān)鍵作用（Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to），文章第二段和第三段已反復(fù)闡明這一中心思想。由此判斷C與文章內(nèi)容一致，正確答案是C。A不符合文章第二段及第三段內(nèi)容。B、D二項(xiàng)內(nèi)容沒有被提及。

3、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(xùn)的資金去向何處。第3段中講：“……美國公司在培訓(xùn)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(xùn)員工的那部分有限的資金也是更多地用于培訓(xùn)員工做好一份新工作所需的具體技能而不是用于培訓(xùn)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)。”A、C兩項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與原文不符。D項(xiàng)“高級經(jīng)理”實(shí)際上是包括在B項(xiàng)“技術(shù)人員和管理人員”中的，因?yàn)椤案呒壗?jīng)理”也是管理人員的一部分。而且，B項(xiàng)與本段第二句話意思相近，故應(yīng)為正確答案。

4、Why didn\'t the government\'s expansion programme work very well?（）【閱讀理解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

正確答案:B

答案解析:由于文章未提及A項(xiàng)和C項(xiàng)，故這兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)的。雖然文章最后一段提到the older generation，但并沒有說老一輩的農(nóng)民反對英國政府發(fā)展農(nóng)業(yè)的計(jì)劃，故選項(xiàng)D也是錯(cuò)的。本文最后一段的第2句和最后一句指出，盡管當(dāng)前的糧食價(jià)格和市場是有保障的，但農(nóng)民擔(dān)心他們很可能被夾在廉價(jià)的進(jìn)口糧食和日益縮小的國內(nèi)市場之間，因而對政府?dāng)U大糧食生產(chǎn)的號召不怎么熱心。根據(jù)這兩句話，可以推斷出答案應(yīng)該是選項(xiàng)B。

5、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(yàn)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。
