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?（）

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、What field can not our descendants know?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.The origin of human beings

B.Some questions that perplex us today

C.Many philosophical problems which Marx and Engels wrote rather little

D.The future

正確答案:D

答案解析:

推斷題。由第三段第一句話But if our descendants know the answers to these questions and others that perplex us today, there will still be one field of which they do not know, namely the future. However exact our science; we cannot know it as we know the past. 就算我們的子孫知道了這些問題和那些現在仍困擾我們的問題的答案，那么仍然有一個領域是他們無從了解的，那就是將來。所以，選項D是正確的。

3、

We can infer from the passage that in the past an employee（）.

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。

4、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的有關的發現，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。

5、

According to the passage, doctors are most successful when they are（）.

A.authoritative

B.logical

C.emotional

D.scientific

正確答案:A

答案解析:第四段As for Medicine, 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…至于醫藥，任何一位醫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。
