MBA联考英语真题及解析

解析：上下文语义+词义辨析在此题中，空格处需要填一个动词的被动语态，同时要搭配后面的“as creepy”(被___当做怪异的)。

因此，结合四个单词的含义，D选项“被误解成为行为怪异的”更符合原文语义要求。

因此D为正确选项。

7. C [A]replaced被替换的 [B]fired被开除的 [C]judged裁定的，评判的 [D]delayed延时的，拖延的解析：上下文语义+词义辨析本句中，考查咱们“fear”的情形是被____. 结合上下文语义和选项含义，咱们能够直接排除掉B和D,这两项与“坐地铁”无关。

符合原文含义的是D，咱们可怕被“评判”。

因此C为正确选项。

8. D [A]unreasonable不合理的，不符合实际的 [B] ungrateful忘恩负义的，不承情的 [C]unconventional非传统的，不合老例的[D]unfamiliar不熟悉的解析：上下文语义+形容词辨析此题考查形容词的辨析。

四个选项本身没有难度。

做形容词这一类题要注意它修饰的成份是什么。

本句是一个较简单的主系表结构，主语是“strangers”，空格处让咱们填表语，修饰的是strangers,因此，依照语义，应该选择D选项“不熟悉的”，译为“生疏人本身对咱们来讲确实是不太熟悉的”。

因此D为正确选项。

9. C [A]comfortable 舒适的，丰裕的[B]confident自信的，有信心的[C]anxious忧虑的， [D]angry动气的，愤怒的解析：上下文语义+形容词辨析此题结合前半句的含义，“生疏人本身对咱们来讲确实是不太熟悉的”，因此，人们在和生疏人交流的时候会更___。

咱们要选择一个形容词来修饰与生疏人交流时候的心情，结合四个单词含义，C“忧虑的”更符合这种交流心境。

因此C为正确选项。

[A]attend 出席，参加[B]point指出，朝向，对准[C]take 拿，带 [D]turn 翻转，旋转,转移解析：动词搭配。

MBA联考英语真题附答案(二)

MBA联考英语真题附答案(二)Ruth Simmons joined Goldman Sachs’s board as an outside director in January 2000: a year later she became president of Brown University. For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much eroticism. But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldman’s compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked? By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. The position was just taking up too much time, she said. Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful, yet less biased, advisers on a firm’s board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive’s proposals. If the sky, and the share price is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises. The researchers from Ohio University useda database hat covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 different directors between 1989 and 2004. Then they simply checked which directors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departing a board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those “surprise” disappearances by directors under the age of 70. They fount that after a surprise departure, the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors are always jumping off a sinking ship. Often they “trade up.” Leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms. But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoingoccurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough times may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons, once again very popular on campus. 1. According to Paragraph 1, Ms. Simmons was criticized for . [A]gaining excessive profits [B]failing to fulfill her duty [C]refusing to make compromises [D]leaving the board in tough times 2. We learn from Paragraph 2 that outside directors are supposed to be . [A]generous investors[B]unbiased executives [C]share price forecasters [D]independent advisers 3. According to the researchers from Ohio University after an outside director’s surprise departure, the firm is likely to .[A]become more stable [B]report increased earnings [C]do less well in the stock market [D]perform worse in lawsuits 4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that outside directors . [A]may stay for the attractive offers from the firm [B]have often had records of wrongdoings in the firm [C]are accustomed to stress-free work in the firm [D]will decline incentives from the firm 5. The author’sattitude toward the role of outside directors is .[A]permissive [B]positive [C]scornful[D]critical 参考答案1．A。

A. so B. nevertheless C. thereafter D. thereforeSection III Reading comprehensionDirections:Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A,B,C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Working at nonstandard times－evenings, nights, or weekends－is taking its toll on American families. One-fifth of all employed Americans work variable or rotating shifts, and one-third work weekends, according to Harriet B. Presser, sociology professor at the University of Maryland. The result is stress on familial relationships, which is likely to continue in coming decades.The consequences of working irregular hours vary according to gender, economic level, and whether or not children are involved. Single mothers are more likely to work nights and weekends than married mothers. Women in clerical, sales or other low-paying jobs participate disproportionately in working late and graveyard shifts.Married-couple households with children are increasingly becoming dual-earner households, generating more split-shift couples. School-aged children, however, may benefit from parents' nonstandard work schedules because of the greater likelihood that a parent will be home before or after school. On the other hand, a correlation exists between nonstandard work schedules and both marital instability and a decline in the quality of marriages.Nonstandard working hours mean families spend less time together for diner but more time together for breakfast. One-on-one interaction between parents and children varies, however, based on parent, shift, and age of children. There is also a greater reliance on child care by relatives and by professional providers.Working nonstandard hours is less a choice of employees and more a mandate of employer. Presser believes that the need for swing shifts and weekend work will continue to rise in thecoming decades. She reports that in some European countries there are substantial salary premiums for employees working irregular hours-sometimes as much as 50% higher. The convenience of having services available 24 hours a day continues to drive this trend.Unfortunately, says Presser, the issue is virtually absent from public discourse. She emphasizes the need for focused studies on costs and benefits of working odd hours, the physical and emotional health of people working nights and weekends, and the reasons behind the necessity for working these hours. "Nonstandard work schedules not only are highly prevalent among American families but also generate a level of complexity in family functioning that needs greater attention," she says.36. Which of the following demonstrates that working at nonstandard times is taking its toll on American families？A. Stress on familial relationships.B. Rotating shifts.C. Evenings, nights, or weekends.D. Its consequences.37. Which of the following is affected most by working irregular hours？A. Children.B. Marriage.C. Single mothers.D. Working women.38. Who would be in favor of the practice of working nonstandard hours？A. Children.B. Parents.C. EmployeesD. Professional child providers.39. It is implied that the consequences of nonstandard work schedules are .A. emphasizedB. absentC. neglectedD. prevalent40. What is the author's attitude towards working irregular hours？A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Indifferent.D. Objective.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Most human beings actual1y decide before they think. When any human being－executive, specialized expert, or person in the street－encounters a complex issue and forms an opinion, often within a matter of seconds, how thoroughly has he or she explored the implications of the various courses of action? Answer: not very thoroughly. Very few people, no matter how inte1ligent or experienced, can take inventory of the many branching possibilities, possible outcomes, side effects, and undesired consequences of a policy or a course of action in a matter of seconds. Yet, those who pride themse1ves on being decisive often try to do just that. And once their brains lock onto an opinion, most of their thinking thereafter consists of finding support for it.A very serious side effect of argumentative decision making can be a lack of support for the chosen course of action on the pat of the "losing" faction. When one faction wins the meeting and the others see themselves as losing, the battle often doesn't end when the meeting ends. Anger, resentment, and jealousy may lead them to sabotage the decision later, or to reopen the debate at later meetings.There is a better. As philosopher Aldous Huxley said, "It isn't who is right, but what is right, that counts."The structured-inquiry method offers a better alternative to argumentative decision making by debate. With the help of the Internet and wireless computer technology the gap betweenexperts and executives is now being dramatically closed. By actually putting the brakes on the thinking process, slowing it down, and organizing the flow of logic, it's possible to create a level of clarity that sheer argumentation can never match.The structured-inquiry process introduces a level of conceptual clarity by organizing the contributions of the experts, then brings the experts and the decision makers closer together. Although it isn't possible or necessary for a president or prime minister to listen in on every intelligence analysis meeting, it's possible to organize the experts' information to give the decision maker much greater insight as to its meaning. This process may somewhat resemble a marketing focus group; it's a simple, remarkably clever way to bring decision makers closer to the source of the expert information and opinions on which they must base their decisions.4l. From the first paragraph we can learn that .A. executive, specialized expert, are no more clever than person in the streetB. very few people decide before they thinkC. those who pride themselves on being decisive often fail to do soD. people tend to consider carefully before making decisions42. Judging from the context, what does the word "them" (line 4,paragraph 2) refer to?A. Decision makers.B. The "losing" faction.C. Anger, resentment, and jealousy.D. Other people.43. Aldous Huxley's remark (Paragraph 3) implies that .A. there is a subtle difference between right and wrongB. we cannot tell who is right and what is wrongC. what is right is more important than who is rightD. what is right accounts for the question who is right44. According to the author, the function of the structured-inquiry method is .A. to make decision by debateB. to apply the Internet and wireless computer technology.C. to brake on the thinking process, slowing it downD. to create a level of conceptual clarity45. The structured-inquiry process can be useful for .A. decision makersB. intelligence analysis meetingC. the experts' informationD. marketing focus groupsQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Sport is heading for an indissoluble marriage with television and the passive spectator will enjoy a private paradise. All of this will be in the future of sport. The spectator (the television audience) will be the priority and professional clubs will have to readjust their structures to adapt to the new reality: sport as a business.The new technologies will mean that spectators will no longer have to wait for broadcasts by the conventional channels. They will be the ones who decide what to see. And they will have to pay for it. In the United States the system of the future has already started: pay-as-you-view. Everything will be offered by television and the spectator will only have to choose. The review Sports Illustrated recently published a full profile of the life of the supporter at home in the middle of the next century. It explained that the consumers would be able to select their view of the match on a gigantic, flat screen occupying the whole of one wall, with images of a clarity which cannot be foreseen at present; they could watch from the trainer's stands just behind the batter in a game of baseball or from the helmet of the star player in an American football game. And at their disposal will be the sane option s the producer of the recorded programmer has to select replays, to choose which camera to me and to decide on the sound whether to hear the public, the players, the trainer and so on.Many sports executives, largely too old and too conservative to feel at home with the new technologies will believe that sport must control the expansion of television coverage in order tosurvive and ensure that spectators attend matches. They do not even accept the evidence which contradicts their view while there is more basketball than ever on television, for example, it is also certain that basketball is more popular than ever.It is also the argument of these sports executives that television harming the modest team.

Sports: a business.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Convenience food helps companies by creating growth, but what is its effect on people? For people who think cooking was the foundation of civilization, the microwave is the last enemy. The communion of eating together is easily broken by a device that liberates household citizens from waiting for mealtimes. The first great revolution in the history of food is in danger of being undone. The companionship of the campfire, cooking pot and common table, which have helped to bond humans in collaborative living for at least 150000 years could be destroyed.Meals have certainly sated from the rise of convenience food. The only meals regularly taken together in Britain these days are at the weekend, among rich families struggling to retain something of the old symbol of togetherness. Indeed, the day's first meal has all but disappeared. In the 20th century the leisure British breakfast was undermined by the corn flake; in the 21st breakfast is vanishing altogether a victim of the quick cup of coffee in Starbucks and the cereal bar.Convenience food has also made people forget how to cook. One of the apparent paradoxes of modern food is that while the amount of time spent cooking meals has fallen from 60 minutes a day in 1980 to 13M a day in 2002, the number of cooks and television programmer on cooking has multiplied. But perhaps this isn't a paradox. Maybe it is became people can't cook anymore, so they need to be told how to do it, or maybe it is because people buy books about hobbies---golf,yachting ---not about chores. Cooking has ceased to be a chore and has become a hobby.Although everybody lives in the kitchen. its facilities are increasingly for display rather than for use. Mr. Silverstein's now book, "trading up" look at mid-range consumer's milling now to splash out. He says that industrial -style Viking cook pot, with nearly twice the heat output of other ranges, have helped to push the "kitchen as theater" trend in hour goods. They cost from $1000 to $9000.Some 75% of them are never used.Convenience also has an impact on the healthiness, or otherwise, of food, of course there is nothing bad about ready to eat food itself. You don't get much healthier than an apple, and supermarkets sell a better for you range of ready-meals. But there is a limit to the number of apples people want to eat; and these days it is easier for people to eat the kind of food that makes them fat The three Harvard economists in their paper "why have Americans become more obese?" point out that in the past, if people wanted to eat fatty hot food, they had to cook it. That took time and energy a good chip needs frying twice, once to cook the potato and once to get it crispy. Which discouraged of consumption of that cost of food. Mass preparation of food took away that constraint. Nobody has to cut and double cook their own fries these days. Who has the time?51. What might the previous paragraphs deal with?A. The relationship between meals and convenience food.B. The importance of convenience food in people's life.C. The rise of convenience food.D. The history of food industry.52. What is the paradox in the third paragraph?A. People don't know how to cook.B. The facilities in the kitchen are not totally used.C. People are becoming more obsess, thus unhealthy.D. Convenience food actually does not save people thrive.53. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The bad effects of convenience foodB. Mr. Silverstein's new bookC. People's new hobbyD. Disappearance of the old symbol of togetherness.54. Why has American become more obese?A. Because of eating chips.B. Because of being busy.C. Because of being lazy.D. B and C.55. Which of the following might the author mostly agree with?A. There is nothing bad about convenience food.B. Convenience food makes people lazy.C. Convenience food helps companies grow.D. Convenience food is a revolution in cooking.Section IV TranslationDirections:In this section there is a passage in English.

Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OnePrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and communication. For many of the world’s peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that?Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require anemphasis on bilingualism（mastery of two languages）. Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller spheres---at home, among friends, in community settings---and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many small languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages, rather than yield to the homogenizing（同化的）forces of globalization.Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer—aided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient（有活力的）,however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous（原生的，土著的）communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41.Minority languages can be best preserved in .A．an increasingly interconnected worldB．maintaining small numbers of speakersC．relatively isolated language communitiesD．following the tradition of the 20th century42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is.A．uncertain B．unrealistic C．foreseeable D．definite43.According to the author, bilingualism can help .A．small languages become acceptable in work placesB．homogenize the world’s languages and culturesC．global languages reach home and community settingsD．speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identityputer technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it . A．makes learning a global language unnecessaryB．facilitates the learning and using of those languagesC．raises public awareness of saving those languagesD．makes it easier for linguists to study those languages45.In the author’s view, many endangered languages are .A．remarkably well-kept in this modern worldB．exceptionally powerful tools of communicationC．quite possible to be revived instead of dying outD．a unique way of bringing different groups togetherPassage TwoEveryone，it seems，has a health problem。

(15 points)Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Working at nonstandard times－evenings, nights, or weekends －is taking its toll on American families. One-fifthof all employed Americans work variable or rotating shifts, and one-third work weekends, aording to Harriet B.Presser, sociology professor at the University of Maryland. The result is stress on familial relationships, which is likelyto continue in ing decades.The consequen ___s of working irregular hours vary aording to gender, economic level, and whether or notchildren are involved. Single mothers are more likely to work nights and weekends than ___rried mothers. Women inclerical, sales, or other low-paying jobs participate disproportionately in working late and graveyard shifts.Married-couple households with children are increasingly being dual-earner households, generating moresplit-shift couples. School-aged children, however, ___y benefit from parents’ nonstandard work schedules becauseof the greater likelihood that a parent will be home before or after school. On the other hand, a correlation existsbetween nonstandard work schedules and both ___rital instability and a decline in the quality of ___rriages.Nonstandard working hours mean families spend less time together for diner but more time together forbreakfast. One-on-one interaction between parents and children varies, however, based on parent, shift, and age ofchildren. There is also a greater relian ___ on child care by relatives and by professional providers.Working nonstandard hours is less a choi ___ of employees and more a ___ndate of employer. Presser believesthat the need for swing shifts and weekend work will continue to rise in the ing decades. She reports that in someEuropean countries there are substantial salary premiums for employees working irregular hours-sometimes asmuch as 50% higher. The convenien ___ of having servi ___s available 24 hours a day continues to drive this trend.Unfortunately, says Presser, the issue is virtually absent from public discourse. She emphasizes the need forfocused stu ___s on costs and benefits of working odd hours, the physical and emotional health of people workingnights and weekends, and the reasons behind the ne ___ssity for working these hours. “Nonstandard work schedulesnot only are highly prevalent among American families but also generate a level of plexity in family functioningthat needs greater attention,” she says.36．Which of the following demonstrates that working at nonstandard times is taking its toll on American families？A．Stress on familial relationships．B．Rotating shifts.C．Evenings，nights，or weekends.D．Its consequen ___s.37．Which of the following is affected most by working irregular hours？A．Children.B．Marriage.C．Single mothers.D．Working women.38．Who would be in favor of the practi ___ of working nonstandard hours？A．Children.B．Parents.C．EmployeesD．Professional child providers.39．It is implied that the consequen ___s of nonstandard work schedules are .A．emphasizedB．absentC．neglectedD．prevalent40．What is the author’s attitude towards working irregular hours？A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Indifferent.D．Objective.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Most hu ___n beings actual1y decide before they think. When any hu ___n being－executive, specialized expert,or person in the street－encounters a plex issue and forms an opinion, often within a ___tter of seconds, how thoroughly has he or she explored the implications of the various courses of action? Answer: not very thoroughly.Very few people, no ___tter how inte1ligent or experien___d, can take inventory of the ___ny branching possibilities,possible outes, side effects, and undesired consequen ___s of a policy or a course of action in a ___tter of seconds.Yet, those who pride themse1ves on being decisive often try to do just that. And on ___ their brains lock onto anopinion, most of their thinking thereafter consists of finding support for it.A very serious side effect of argumentative decision ___ can be a lack of support for the chosen course ofaction on the pat of the “losing” faction. When one faction wins the meeting and the others see themselves as losing,the battle often doesn’t end when the meeting ends. Anger, resentment, and jealousy ___y lead them to sabotage the4ecision later, or to reopen the debate at later meetings.There is a better. As philosopher Aldous Huxley said, “It isn’t who is right, but what is right, that counts.”The structured-inquiry method offers a better alternative to argumentative decision ___ by debate. With thehelp of the Inter and wireless puter technology the gap between experts and executives is now beingdra ___tically closed. By actually putting the brakes onthe thinking pro ___ss, slowing it down, and organizing the flowof logic, it’s possible to create a level of clarity that sheer argumentation can never ___tch.The structured-inquiry pro ___ss introdu ___s a level ofcon ___ptual clarity by organizing the contributions of theexperts, then brings the experts and the decision ___kers closer together. Although it isn’t possible or ne ___ssary for apresident or prime minister to listen in on every in___igen ___ ___ysis meeting, it’s possible to organize the experts’infor ___tion to give the decision ___ker much greater insight as to its meaning. This pro ___ss ___y somewhat resemblea ___rketing focus group; it’s a ___, re ___rkably clever way to bring decision ___kers closer to the sour ___ of theexpert infor ___tion and opinions on which they must base their decisions.4l．From the first paragraph we can learn that .A．executive, specialized expert, are no more clever than person in the streetB．very few people dec1de before they thinkC．those who pride themselves on being decisive often fail to do soD．people tend to consider carefully before ___ decisions42．Judging from the context, what does the word “them”(line 4, paragraph 2) refer to?A．Decision ___kers.B．The “losing” faction.C．Anger, resentment, and jealousy.D．Other people.43．Aldous Huxley’s re ___rk (Paragraph 3) implies that .

All of this will be in the future of sport. The spectator (the television au ___n ___) will be the priorityand professional clubs will have to readjust their structures to adapt to the new reality: sport as a business.The new technologies will mean that spectators will no longer have to wait for broadcasts by the conventionalchannels. They will be the ones who decide what to see. And they will have to pay for it. In the United States thesystem of the future has already started: pay-as-you-view. Everything will be offered by television and the spectatorwill only have to choose. The review Sports Illustrated re ___ntly published a full profile of the life of the supporter athome in the middle of the next ___ntury. It explained that the consumers would be able to select their view of the___tch on a gigantic, flat screen oupying the whole of one wall, with i ___ges of a clarity which cannot be foreseenatpresent; they could watch from the trainer’s stands just behind the batter in a game of baseball or from the helmet ofthe star player in an American football game. And at their disposal will be the sane option s the produ ___r of therecorded programmer has to select replays, to choose which camera to me and to decide on the sound whether tohear the public, the players, the trainer and so on.Many sports executives, largely too old and tooconservative to feel at home with the new technologies willbelieve that sport must control the expansion of television coverage in order to survive and ensure that spectatorsattend ___tches. They do not even aept the eviden ___ which contradicts their view while there is more basketballthan ever on television, for example, it is also ___rtain that basketball is more popular than ever.It is also the argument of these sports executives that television harming the modest team.
