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(xí)題，附答案解析，供您備考練習(xí)。

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(xùn)不足以及這種狀況對公司競爭力的影響。A、B、C三項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容文中均提到過，但沒有展開論述。D項(xiàng)“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、The following sentence（）is right.【閱讀理解A】

A.The authｏｒthinks that we can learn nothing new from the usual fondling, cuddling ａｎｄ　cleaning of babies by their mothers

B.It is rather unusual fｏｒa mother to hold her baby against her body when resting

C.Eighty percent of American mothers put their babies on the left side of the cradle

D.The authｏｒdoes not agree that there is a predominance of right-handedness in the population

正確答案:D

答案解析:文章第一段第四句If asked to explain the significance of this preference most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. （如果問及這種偏好的原因，大多數(shù)人回答顯然是因?yàn)槿丝谥杏移沧诱级鄶?shù)的結(jié)果），但是第6句作者表明 But a detailed analysis shows that this is not the case（但是一項(xiàng)細(xì)致的分析表明事實(shí)并不是這樣的），可見作者不同意人口中右撇子居多。

3、Why is the question of “how easily people can get used to working at night” not a mere academic question?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.Because few people like to reverse the cycle of sleep ａｎｄ　wakefulness

B.Because sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness

C.Because people are required to work at night in some fields of industry

D.Because shift work in industry requires people to change their sleeping habits

正確答案:D

答案解析:本題問“人們能否迅速地適應(yīng)晚上工作為什么不再是一個(gè)純學(xué)術(shù)問題”，要求考生按照文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行推斷。文章說到，自動(dòng)化生產(chǎn)要求機(jī)器24小時(shí)不停地工作，工人也要分3班晝夜輪流工作，因而人們設(shè)法適應(yīng)這種情況是實(shí)際生活的需要。因此選項(xiàng)D是答案。選項(xiàng)C只是說在某些行業(yè)要上夜班，并未提及倒班，不是本題問及的內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)A和選項(xiàng)B與文章內(nèi)容沒有聯(lián)系。

4、According to the passage, many career women find themselves in difficult situations because（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.the variety of professional clothing is too wide fｏｒthem to choose

B.women are generally thought to be only good at being fashion models

C.men are more favorably judged fｏｒmanagerial positions

D.they are not sure to what extent they should display their feminine qualities through clothing

正確答案:D

答案解析:第四段第二句指出：許多職業(yè)女性對自己職業(yè)的服裝應(yīng)該如何兼有“男性”和“女性”特點(diǎn)把握不好。D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與此相符，因此正確答案是D。A在邏輯上本身就是錯(cuò)誤的；B與文章毫無相關(guān)聯(lián)；C與文章內(nèi)容也相去甚遠(yuǎn)。

5、It is possible to find out if a person has adapted to the changes of routine by measuring his body temperature because（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.body temperature changes when the cycle of sleep ａｎｄ　wakefulness alternates

B.body temperature changes when he changes to night shift ｏｒback

C.the temperature reverses when the routine is changed

D.people have higher temperatures when they are working efficiently

正確答案:D

答案解析:本題考了一個(gè)重要的細(xì)節(jié)：為什么量體溫能看出一個(gè)人是否已經(jīng)適應(yīng)新的工作時(shí)間呢？根據(jù)4第段第3句，正常日班工作時(shí)工作效率高，體溫也稍高。文章接著又說，改變工作安排之后，有一個(gè)適應(yīng)過程，體溫變動(dòng)模式也隨著適應(yīng)程度的變化而變化，效率高時(shí)體溫也高一些。所以選項(xiàng)D是答案。這一點(diǎn)還可以從這一句最后的particularly in terms of performance中看出。選項(xiàng)A不全面，沒有指出體溫變化與身體的適應(yīng)程度大體上一致這一點(diǎn)，也沒有指出可以根據(jù)其工作好壞判斷。同樣的道理，選項(xiàng)B和選項(xiàng)C也不對。
