由题干关键词Dr．Brody’s findings可定位至文章第七段最后一句。
事实细节题。定位句指出，如果布罗迪的研究结果得以证实，它所提出的挑战将会是寻找如何规避自控力负面影响的办法，可以说这个研究发现为未来提出了一个新的问题，故答案为D。A“它们出乎了研究者的预料”，之前的研究已经证实了发展自控力并不一定会为所有人带来益处，而是因社会背景而异，该研究只是从另一个侧面予以证实，并没有出乎研究者的预料，故可排除；B“它们揭示了基因与年龄之间的关系”，由定位句可知，该研究发现的是自控力与年龄、社会背景的关系，只是通过基因进行观察，B表述错误，故可排除；C“它们与米歇尔的研究发现相矛盾”，米歇尔研究发现的是自控力与终身成就的关系，而布罗迪更多地关注了自控力发展与社会家庭背景的关系，角度不同，但并不矛盾，故排除C。

2 Questions are based on the following passage.
Marketplace or peer-to-peer (P2P) lending matches borrowers and lenders on low-cost online platforms. By skirting banks, P2P lending allows borrower and lender alike to achieve better rates of interest. Essentially, P2P lending is a way of capitalizing on the network effect of social media and the volumes of data generated therein to allow cheaper access to capital.
According to Liberum, P2P lending in the U. K. will grow at 98 percent year-on-year in 2015, with ￡3.5 billion presently lent out. Worldwide in 2015, it's estimated that $77 billion will be lent via P2P platforms-- $60 billion China, $12 billion U.S.A. and $5 billion U. K. Morgan Stanley's Huw Steenis says, "While marketplace lending is still about 1 percent of unsecured consumer and SME lending in the U. S., we think it can reach approximately 10 percent by 2020... We forecast the global market to grow to $150 - $490 billion by 2020." As Liberum's Cormac Leech says, "We are wituessing the biggest changes to the banking sector for 400 years."
P2P lending offers huge opportunities, mainly at the expense of banks, whose biggest margins are traditionally in unsecured lending. Herein is the layer of fat P2P platforms are guzzling (大肆掠食的), picking off the banks' best customers. P2P platforms have also proved superior at harvesting and managing big data, and have lower cost bases than banks.
A significant development is that institutional money is now alighting. The largest quoted institutional P2P lender, P2P Global Investment PLC, floated in London last year. It has raised nearly ￡500m and aims to double that this year. As a reward for lofting "transformational" amounts of cash on to various platforms, P2P Global has been accumulating warrants and options on their equity, notably Ratesetter, Zopa, Direct Money and Lending Works.
In a twist to this development, Neil Woodford, Britain's most famous fund manager, recently upped his stake in P2P Global. Last August Woodford sold out of HSBC, fearing "fine inflation". This seems a ringing endorsement of this disruptive but nascent (初期的) sector.
Perhaps most significantly, in May this year, Zopa, the P2P platform, announced its debut in secured (most P2P lending is unsecureD. lending by collaborating with Uber. Uber drivers in U. K. will be able to borrow via Zopa to buy their cars, with loans secured against the cars themselves.
Of course, the sector presents risks. The credit dry-up when Interest rates rise. A P2P platform may go bust. But some investors, refugees from the banking sector perhaps, will simply like the idea of being on the right side of regulatory and technological upheaval (突变). And when the banks finally understand, how will they react? Who knows? So far, none of them have.
Liberum's data quoted in Paragraph Two indicates that __________.

A．P2P platform offers huge opportunities for banks

B．P2P lending attracts the old customers of banks

C．P2P has seized most share of the financial market

D．P2P lending has been experiencing fast booming
