问题 The sentence against Rajaratnam is the longest______
News Item 1
    A court in the United States has sentenced a New York-based financier to 11 years in prison for insider trading, (1) the longest sentence in a generation for such an offence. Rajaratnam had already been found guilty of trading on illegal tips supplied by insiders at some of America’s leading companies.
    Prosecutors calculated that Mr. Rajaratnam made up to $ 75 m by trading on illegal tips from a group of well-placed insiders. They added that Mr. Rajaratnam has shown no regret for his crimes. (2) But Mr. Rajaratnam’s defense lawyers counted that the Sri Lankan-born businessman made only $7m from the scheme and that his health problems called for mercy. It is thought Mr. Rajaratnam is likely to appeal against his sentence.
选项 A、ever since in history.
B、during the recent 30 years around.
C、during the recent 11 years.
D、in this recent decade.
答案 B
解析 根据句(1)可知，这次判决在一代人的时间以来是最长的一次。一代人的时间，一般在三十年左右，故答案为[B]。
