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 the passage, the decisive factｏｒin maintaining a firm\'s competitive advantage is（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.the introduction of new technologies

B.the improvement of workers\' basic skills

C.the rational composition of professional ａｎｄ　managerial employees

D.the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employees

正確答案:B

答案解析:根據(jù)本文，保持公司競爭優(yōu)勢的決定性因素是什么。文章開頭第一句話便指出：“如果持續(xù)性的競爭優(yōu)勢取決于勞動者技能的話，那么美國公司正面臨著難題”。第三段中又指出：“員工基本技能的培訓使得他們吸收掌握新技術成為可能?！盉項“提高工人的基本技能”與文章內(nèi)容相近，故B為正確答案。

2、What are the functions of studying philosophies mentioned in the passage?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.It would make our own idea flexible

B.It would help prepare us fｏｒthe future ａｎｄ　guide our actions

C.It would enable us to understａｎｄ　how things develop as to better tackle the future

D.All of the above

正確答案:D

答案解析:推斷題。A項在第一段開頭就已提到。第四段第一句話說道，“但是我們得為將來做準備，沒有一些哲學知識，我們是無法理性地做到這一點的?！币虼?，B項應該是符合題意的。而C項在最后一段也有談到。所以，答案應選 D。

3、According to the passage, doctors are most successful when they are（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.authoritative

B.logical

C.emotional

D.scientific

正確答案:A

答案解析:第四段As fｏｒMedicine, any doctor will confirm that a large part of his job is not clinical treatment but faith healing. His apparently scientific approach enables his patients to believe that he knows exactly what is wrong with them ａｎｄ　exactly what they need to put them right…至于醫(yī)藥，任何一位醫(yī)生都會確信他的工作在很大程度上不是臨床治療而是信念治療。他看起來科學的方法使病人相信醫(yī)生確切知道他們的病情所在以及需要什么加以救治…；最后一段They will dress anyone up in a white coat to appear like an unimpeachable authority or, failing that, they will even be happy with the announcement. 他們會把任何人包裝成穿白大褂、看起來像無可置疑的權威。因此選A。

4、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。

5、Speaking of Turkey’s foreign direct investment, the authｏｒimplies that（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.it’s stock is far less than that of other countries

B.it does not have much influence on Turkey’s economic progress

C.steady GDP growth will help Turkey attract more foreign direct investment

D.Turkey’s economic resilience relies on foreign direct investment

正確答案:C

答案解析:根據(jù)文章第三段，GDP的不規(guī)律性是導致土耳其難以吸引外國直接投資的主要原因，可見穩(wěn)定的GDP增長有助于土耳其吸引更多的外國直接投資。
