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、Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.Tipping is very popular in America

B.Better service deserves bigger tip

C.Discretionary tipping is not reasonable

D.Tipping embodies one\'s social status

正確答案:C

答案解析:A項僅僅指出了文中所論述的一個現(xiàn)象；B項是公眾的普遍看法，并非作者的觀點；D項是文章后面論述的一個次要觀點，并不能概括全文的主旨。

2、The main reason fｏｒthe rise in food prices is that（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.people are buying less food

B.the government is providing less financial support fｏｒagriculture

C.domestic food production has decreased

D.imported food is driving prices higher

正確答案:B

答案解析:本題問的問題是，英國食品價格上漲的主要原因是什么？仔細閱讀文章，便知本題的答案可在第3段第1句里找到，即……due chiefly  to the gradual cutting down of government support fｏｒfood。因此，選項B是答案。文中雖提到people are buying less food（第3段最后一句），但這是因為糧食價格高，與選項“使糧食價格上漲的主要原因”，無關，因此選項A是錯的。文章未提及選項C和D，因此這兩個選項是錯的。

3、The best solution fｏｒimplementing the 24-hour working system seems to be（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.to change shifts at longer intervals

B.to have longer shifts

C.to arrange fｏｒsome people to work on night shifts only

D.to create better living conditions fｏｒnight workers

正確答案:C

答案解析:本題考核考生對文章具體內容的理解。第3段第1句說，“要真正解決這個問題似乎只有把夜班活交給一批固定干夜班的工人去干”。第4段第1句又說，“這種專人干夜班的方法看來不失為最佳的長遠之計。”所以選項C是答案。其他3個選項文章都沒有提到，都不正確。

4、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。

5、Most people think that mothers hold their babies in their left arms（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.because of the fact that the heart is on the left side of the mother\'s body

C.in ｏｒｃｅｒto keep their left arms free fｏｒother work

D.in ｏｒｃｅｒto keep their right arms free fｏｒother work

正確答案:D

答案解析:細節(jié)題。這道題關鍵要注意到題目中的Most people think…，多數(shù)人認為… 文中說“…most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population”?！按蠖鄶?shù)人會回答說，顯然這是人們以右手為主的這種優(yōu)勢造成的結果?！?因此選D。
