问题 Bernard Madoff carried out the largest fraud in US history for [br]  
An investigation of United States has found that the country’s top financial regulator, the Securities and the Exchange Commissioner(SEC), fail to uncover the 65 billion dollar fraud carried out by the convicted financier Bernard Madoff over a 16-year period, despite 5 separate investigations in his business dealings.
    The report by the SEC’s expected general David Kotz reads like a catalog of bungled opportunities to catch Bernard Madoff, long before he owned up to the largest fraud in US history. He was investigated five times. SEC staff caught him in lies but failed to follow them up. They rejected offers from whistleblowers to provide additional evidence. Many of the investigators were inexperienced. The scale of the SEC’s incompetence is laid bare by this report.
选项 A、they have many experienced and competent investigators.
B、they could have had opportunities to catch Bernard Madoff.
C、they didn’t catch him in lies and failed to follow them up.
D、they provided additional evidence for whistleblowers.
答案 B
解析 事实细节题。新闻中提到，SEC总监察长David作了份报告，看起来像列举了很多失败的逮捕BernardMadoff的机会。A项与新闻末尾提到的情况相反；委员会的工作人员证实Madoff撒谎，但是跟进不了，C项与新闻相反；告密者希望提高证据，但是被委员会拒绝，而不是委员会向告密者提供证据，D项错误。所以B项为正确。
