问题 The trustee signed the settlement in order to [br]  
The trustee appointed to recover money stolen by the New York financier Bernard Madoff has reached a multibillion-dollar settlement with the estate of [10] a man identified as the biggest single beneficiary of the fraud. [9]It means about half the money lost in the swindle will ultimately be recouped.
    The settlement represents something of a coup for the trustee Irving Picard. After the collapse of Bernard Madoff’s investment firm in 2008, he was given the task of recovering money lost by investors, who’d unwittingly put their cash into the giant Ponzi scheme. Since then he’s launched a wave of litigation against people and businesses deemed to have profited from the fraud. Chief among them was Jeffry Picower, who was a long-term investor in Bernard Madoff s funds. Over the course of three and a half decades, he withdrew some $7bn, substantially more than his initial investment. His widow has now pledged to return every penny he received.

选项 A、The trustee.
B、The man signed the settlement with the trustee.
C、Jeffry Picower.
D、Jeffry Picower’s widow.

答案 B

解析 信息辨认题。新闻首句谈到,信托人与一名男子达成数十亿美元的协议,这名男子被认为是这宗诈骗案中唯一的最大受益人。因此本题答案为[B]。题干中benefit most是新闻中biggest singlebeneficiary的同义转述。新闻中虽然提到,信托人对从这个骗局中获益的个人和企业提起了诉讼,其中为首的就是Jeffty Picower,但不能就此推测出Jeffry Picower是最大的受益人。
