2019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、

Why is there "wide-spread uneasiness and confusion about the food situation in Britain？"（）

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。

1、

Which of the following word best describes the author's attitude towards the Cornell paper?（）

A.Positive

B.Negative

C.Indifferent

D.Disapproval

正確答案:A

答案解析:作者引用康奈爾大學(xué)的調(diào)查研究報告來支持說明自己的觀點。

1、

According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is（）.

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(xùn)使得他們吸收掌握新技術(shù)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。

1、

The main reason for the rise in food prices is that（）.

A.people are buying less food

B.the government is providing less financial support for agriculture

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 for food。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(guān)，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。

1、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。
