2024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、According to Christopher Bartlett what will improve "employability"?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.Ability to lay out one\'s talents to employers

B.Skills ａｎｄ　knowledge accumulated from school education

C.Training opportunity ａｎｄ　guidance offered by company

D.Being creative ａｎｄ　ready to share collective wisdom

正確答案:C

答案解析:文中第二段employability后面的一句解釋，在上下文中特指通過公司培養(yǎng)和引導，而提高雇員的水平。不是獲取職位的能力，或者在學校中獲取的知識和技能。

2、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。

3、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。

4、What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.He is one of the most important executives in the firm

B.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced

C.He is directly under the chief financial executive

D.He has no say in making important decisions in the firm

正確答案:D

答案解析:問在美國公司中人力資源部經(jīng)理一職地位如何。第2段第4句話指出：“擔任人力資源部經(jīng)理一職者在公司作出重大決策時從未被咨詢過，也沒有機會升任公司總經(jīng)理?！盌項說，“他在公司作重大決定時沒有發(fā)言權?！眱删湟馑枷喾?，故D為正確答案。

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
