问题     Read the article below about a successful banker.
    Are sentences 16-22 on the opposite page ’ Right’ or ’Wrong’ ? If there is not enough information to answer ’Right’ or ’Wrong’, choose ’Doesn’t Say’.
    For each sentence (16-22), mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.
                Peter Sands, chief executive of Standard Chartered
    Sporting a Swatch watch and with the donnish air of a professor, Peter Sands is an unlikely banker. A fully-paid up member of the frequent flyers’ club, the 48-year-old chief executive of Standard Chartered is one of the few bankers to have made it through the crisis with his reputation intact.
    Unlike rivals who were pilloried for recklessly driving their banks into the hands of the taxpayers, Sands is at the helm of a London-based emerging markets bank, which has enjoyed seven consecutive years of record profits. With his mop of white hair and Alistair Darling-style black eyebrows, he also helped stave off the collapse of the UK’s high street banks in October 2008 by devising a scheme that led to the injection of taxpayer funds into Royal Bank of Scotland, HBOS and Lloyds.
    Some of the secret meetings during the frantic weeks in the autumn 2008 took place in the City offices of Standard Chartered. Sands was also a co-host at the World Economic Forum in Davos this year and speculation in the City is that he is on track for a bigger office—at the Bank of England or as a regulator.
    But as he sits back on the sofa in his bright corner room, Sand’s mind is on Standard Chartered, as he admits another crisis could be on the way.
Peter Sands is the CEO of a school board.
选项 A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Doesn’t say
答案B
解析 题干中unlikely是重点，这个否定副词表达的却是肯定的含义，题中说Peter Sands在学校工作与原文意思不符，所以错误，答案选B。
