According to the Fed, ( )
A.banks should limit the lending to unqualified borrowers.
B.the total losses of banks will be less than losses in 2009.
C.banks in America are safe.
D.the core-capital ratio will fall to an astonishing level.
参考答案:C
参考解析:
根据题干关键词Fed定位至第二段和第三段。A项:原文中未提到;B项:根据关键词2009和the total losses定位至第二段,...the Fed reckons that banks would face total losses of over $700bn on their collective loan book. The hit is well above the worst case of $465bn that was envisaged in 2009, ...可知,银行的总损失高于2009年的损失,选项与原文矛盾;C项:根据关键词America, banks and safe定位至第三段,Instead, the banking system's new resilience means ... to withdraw funds as in 2007-09. Banks were seen as safe. 可知C项正确;D项:根据关键词core-capital定位至第二段最后一句,Happily, the Fed concludes, in this u-shape scenario the banking system's total core-capital ratio would fall from the present 12% to a sill-passable 8%.银行系统的总核心资本比率将从目前的12%降至勉强过当的8%。可知总核心资本虽然会降低,但下降的概率较小,并不是令人惊讶的程度。故本题正确答案选C。
