2023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、The word “oscillated” (Line 3, Paragraph 3) most probably means（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.fell

B.climbed

C.developed

D.swang

正確答案:D

答案解析:這個詞的意思可以根據(jù)文中第三段所用的明喻判斷出來。文中說，整個1990年代，土耳其的GDP增長就好像“遭受了猛烈的心臟病發(fā)作時的心電圖一樣”，可見GDP增長時高時低，峰谷之間的差異較大，所以oscillated最有可能的意思就是“擺動，震蕩”，只有D中的swang意思與之相符。

2、Why is there "wide-spread uneasiness ａｎｄ　confusion about the food situation in Britain？"（）【閱讀理解A】

A.The abundant food supply is not expected to last

B.Britain is importing less food

C.Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising

D.Britain will cut back on its production of food

正確答案:C

答案解析:只要考生仔細(xì)閱讀，便可看出本文的第1段第5句Why do food prices keep on rising，when there seems to be so much food about？回答了這個問題。因此選項(xiàng)C是答案。文中未提及A項(xiàng)、B項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)，因此這3個選項(xiàng)都不合適。

3、Seventy-eight percent of left-handed mothers hold their babies on the left side. This fact contradict the theory（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the heart-beating on the left

B.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population

C.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the predominance of left-handedness in the population

D.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the heart-beating on the right

正確答案:B

答案解析:推斷題。78%的以左手為主的母親也是左手兜住自己的孩子，與…it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. By holding the babies in their left arms, the mothers keep their dominant arm free fｏｒmanipulations. “人們以右手為主的這種優(yōu)勢造成的結(jié)果。母親用自己的左手抱住嬰兒，從而就能騰出自己主要的手臂來從事各種操作?！毕嚆?。因此選B。

4、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(xiàng)。B、C項(xiàng)為事實(shí)。D項(xiàng)為作者觀點(diǎn)，從文章最后一句推知。A項(xiàng)推論過急，實(shí)際上，我們可看出“service people”從小費(fèi)中得到了好處。

5、Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.Body temperature may serve as an indication of a worker’s performance

B.The selection of a number of permanent night shift workers has proved to be the best solution to problems of the round-the-clock working system

C.Taking body temperature at regular intervals can show how a person adapts to the changes of routine

D.Disturbed sleep occurs less frequently among those on permanent night ｏｒday shifts

正確答案:B

答案解析:本題要求對4個選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行判斷，找出不符合文章意思的選項(xiàng)來。選項(xiàng)A符合第4段第2句的意思，因此不是答案。選項(xiàng)C符合文章第4段第4句的意思，因此也不是答案。選項(xiàng)D符合第3段中Brown的有關(guān)的發(fā)現(xiàn)，因此也不是答案。選項(xiàng)B說“挑選一批固定做夜班的工人（has proved to be the best solution）”。但是，文章第4段只是說，這似乎是（appears to be）最好的辦法和長遠(yuǎn)之計，但并沒有得到實(shí)際應(yīng)用（見文章最后一句）。因此選項(xiàng)B不符合文章原意（NOT TRUE），這就是題目所要求的答案。
