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、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)人回答顯然是因為人口中右撇子占多數(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（但是一項細致的分析表明事實并不是這樣的），可見作者不同意人口中右撇子居多。

2、This passage seems to be a(n)（）. 【閱讀理解A】

A.book review

B.advertisement

C.news report

D.research paper

正確答案:A

答案解析:是一篇書評，從最后一段，“The authｏｒoffers a few examples of companies…but they offer little useful guidance…”可知。

3、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個選項進行判斷，找出不符合文章意思的選項來。選項A符合第4段第2句的意思，因此不是答案。選項C符合文章第4段第4句的意思，因此也不是答案。選項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）最好的辦法和長遠之計，但并沒有得到實際應(yīng)用（見文章最后一句）。因此選項B不符合文章原意（NOT TRUE），這就是題目所要求的答案。

4、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C是答案。文中未提及A項、B項和D項，因此這3個選項都不合適。

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 fｏｒmanipulations

C.instinctively ｏｒby 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 ｏｒby 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。
