A、Right

B、Wrong

C^Doesn'tsay

标准答案：B

知识点解析：题目意为：PelerSandsPelerSands是学校董事会的总裁。该表述与原

文意思不符。原文通过一系列对Sands的描述只表达出他与人们想像中的银行家形

象不符，是为了突出Sands作为英国顶尖银行家做堤垫。所以该表述有误。

损。从原文“Unlikerivalswhowerepilloriedforrecklesslydrivingtheirbanksintothe

陈述是正确的。

B、Wrong

C、Doesn'tsay

知识点解析：题目意为：Sands计划谋求在英格兰皇家银行谋求更高的职位。原文

提至『'SpeculationintheCityisthatheisontrackfbrabiggeroffice-attheBankof

Englandorasaregulator.”应该为英格兰银行或英格兰央行，而非英格兰皇家银

行。所以该表述错误。

B、Wrong

C、Doesn'tsay

标准答案：A
