阅读理解-According to the passage, many important persons in public life and the big corporations______.

Obviously with a total of 2,000 universities and colleges there must be great differences in quality and reputation among them. Many have achievements substantial enough for them to be well known all over the world, but among these there are a few which are outstanding in their reputation, both nationally and internationally. These include a few private institutions in various parts, and several of the greatest state universities, but none surpass the group of old private north-eastern universities commonly known as the Ivy League. Their old social-elite reputations are by now overshadowed by the reputation of their graduate schools as intellectual-elite centers. Their fees are high, but most graduate students have scholarships of some kind.  The best known of all is Harvard, which is situated in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the urban area of Boston. Yale (founded in 1701) is in New Haven, between Boston and New York. There is much in common between Harvard and Yale, and together occupy a position in American university life rather like Oxford and Cambridge in England. A remarkable number of the men who hold prominent positions in public life and the big corporations were educated at one of these two. There is a certain prejudice against the kind of privilege which is associated in the public mind with these institutions, and that is not surprising in view of the American ideal of equality. For undergraduate studies, Harvard and Yale are probably somewhat more privileged, in the old (social) sense of the world, than Oxford and Cambridge in England, but they are closely followed in the preeminence by several other institutions such as Princeton (founded in 1746), now surrounded by New Jersey suburbs, and Columbia (founded in 1754) with its ugly buildings, which is close to the New York Negro quarter of Harlem. There are also many smaller institutions, mainly in the north-east, which have reputations equal to those of the Ivy League schools, but refuse to increase their numbers, believing that their small size is one of the characteristics which gives them their special quality. Some of these are liberal arts colleges, without graduates schools or courses of practical application. Most of the northeastern institutions of this kind were originally founded for men or women only, and continued as single-sex institutions into the 1960s, at least at undergraduate level. Here the 1970s have brought a major revolution, with this kind of segregation gradually eliminated. Old traditions have yielded to the pressure of new social trends.

A.were educated in Oxford and Cambridge

B.were educated in Princeton and Yale

C.graduated from Harvard and Princeton

D.graduated either from Harvard or from Yale

我个人认为这个应该是:D

解析:文中第二段第三句提及“many men who hold prominent positions”均毕业于这两个学校之中的一所。这里的one of these two指的就是上文的Harvard and Yale,因此D项为正确答案。
