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、

Advertising are appreciated by manufacturers because they（）.

A.advise them on ways of giving a product customer appeal

B.accept responsibility for giving a product customer appeal

C.advise them on the best time to go ahead with production

D.consult them during the design and development stages

正確答案:B

答案解析:

第二段The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in clover.在產品設計和研發階段，廠家可以有足夠的時間來考慮而不必擔心是否每個人都會買它。設計人員在忙于考慮諸如勞動力時間、機器強度以及壓力因素時可以不考慮消費者喜好的因素。所以他們可以只管生產出產品然后讓廣告商通過聲稱此商品象征身份、地位，能夠吸引愛情或是彰顯男人魅力等，去尋找足夠的理由來吸引消費者購買。倘若廣告代理果真能做到足夠令人信服，廠家則可高枕無憂了。因此選B。

2、

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。

3、The best solution for implementing 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 for some people to work on night shifts only

D.to create better living conditions for night 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?！彼赃x項C是答案。其他3個選項文章都沒有提到，都不正確。

4、

What does the writer of this passage think of the ideas of Ghoshal and Bartlett?（）

A.Very instructive

B.Very inspiring

C.Hard to implement

D.Quite harsh

正確答案:C

答案解析:從第三段“Unfortunately, they promise more than they deliver.”可以看出作者對Ghoshal 和 Bartlett的觀點是不以為然的，作者認為這兩個人許諾的比實際提供的要多，所以作者對這兩個人的看法是他們的觀點不切實際。

5、

According to Christopher Bartlett what will improve "employability"?（）

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。
