2020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?（）

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?？v觀全文，講的主要是美國(guó)公司對(duì)人才管理的重視程度不夠，對(duì)員工基本技能培訓(xùn)不足以及這種狀況對(duì)公司競(jìng)爭(zhēng)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(guó)公司的人才管理策略影響它們的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力”貼近全文，故為正確答案。

2、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 or day shifts

正確答案:B

答案解析:本題要求對(duì)4個(gè)選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行判斷，找出不符合文章意思的選項(xiàng)來。選項(xiàng)A符合第4段第2句的意思，因此不是答案。選項(xiàng)C符合文章第4段第4句的意思，因此也不是答案。選項(xiàng)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(xiàng)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(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)之計(jì)，但并沒有得到實(shí)際應(yīng)用（見文章最后一句）。因此選項(xiàng)B不符合文章原意（NOT TRUE），這就是題目所要求的答案。

3、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 for manipulations

C.instinctively or by 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 or by 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(shí)的成敗試驗(yàn)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。

4、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?cè)O(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。

5、

We can draw a conclusion from the text that（）.

A.foreign investment environment in Turkey will become better

B.Turkey’s citizens will suffer heavy loss due to the change of the face value of the lira

C.the local currency will depreciate with the removal of six naughts from the face value

D.prices of goods will go up

正確答案:A

答案解析:文章在第一段和第二段介紹土耳其快速的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。第三段分析了過去不能吸引急需的外國(guó)直接投資的主要原因之一：經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展不規(guī)律性。文章最后一段介紹了將取消妨礙外國(guó)投資者的一個(gè)因素。由此可見，土耳其的外國(guó)投資環(huán)境將變得更好。
