主旨概括题。本题四个选项都在一定程度上与原文意思符合,但这是一道主旨概括题,故可通过主体词来筛选出最优选项。综合每段话的首句或尾句可得出主体词。首段是引入话题:PSD2规定。接着每段的首句:The rules will compel banks to...; Nevertheless. some concerns about PSD2 are...; The gap between writing rules and implementing them is ...可知,每段话都是紧紧围绕PSD2来论述的,故PSD2是本文的主体词。选项A:欧洲监管者正面临的挑战;本文的核心不是围绕监管者,且“欧洲监管者正面临的挑战”这个挑战的词义过广,原文只是谈及PSD2实施所面临的挑战,故排除A;选项B:欧洲出台一项新规定,使得银行业竞争加剧,主体词与PSD2一致,且语义正确,故B为本文主旨;选项C:解决欧洲银行业体制瑕疵的方案;方案只是原文其中的一部分内容,无法概括全文,排除。选项D:对客户在银行的隐私数据,一种威胁正逐步逼近。D项的“威胁”可理解为PSD2,但是D项的感情色彩偏负面、消极,而从原文第二段Bankers in Europe complain that their profits and customer relationships are under threat. However, opening up banks, and the data they store, is good for consumers and competition.可看出,作者剖析了PSD2的利弊两面,可看出作者的态度并不是只倾向于消极面的。D排除。故本题正确答案选B。
