B.Small banks had to depend on big banks to run.

C.No new banks have opened for they had no marketing or technology.

D.Big bank were in fierce competition against each other.

参考答案：A

参考解析：

推理判断题。根据第四段“Since 2012 more than 2,000 American banks have closed (see chart). Almost all were small…”可推断受大银行的影响，很多小银行关闭了，A项正确；B项中的depend on错误，第四段中的“operating in the shadows of big banks with big budgets for marketing, technology and regulatory compliance”是说受大银行的影响，导致小银行各方面的预算都很高，导致入不敷出，所以支撑不下去倒闭了；C项中的No太过绝对，第四段最后一句说的是“Almost no…”，故排除；D项中的“fierce competition”找不到出处，故排除。故选A。
