【解析】

短文主要介绍了自行车的租赁条约及价格。

【1】推断题。根据文章的标题 Bicycle Rental 推断，文章应该与自行车租赁有关，故文章最有可能出现在 rental office（租赁办公室）。故C项正确。A项，“报纸”。这篇文章不是新闻类题材。故A项错误。B项，“广告牌，广告板”。文章通篇讲述的是自行车租赁与使用的条款、费用等，没有出现诸如公司名称之类的广告要素。故B项错误。D项，“保险公司”。文章中虽然提到了保险相关的内容，但并非主要内容。故D项错误。故正确答案为C。

【2】细节题。根据文章第二段第一句 All bicycles include a pump, a lock, and a tool box with some repairing tools (patches, spare tubes, tire levers) 可知，所有的自行车都包括一个打气筒、一把锁、一个工具箱（补丁、备用管、轮胎撬杠），没有提到 test tube（测试管）。故正确答案为C。

【3】细节题。根据文章 Rental fee（租赁费用）部分中给出的内容，2小时的租赁费为20美元。故正确答案为B。

【4】细节题。根据文章 Period of rental 这一部分可知，需要填入的信息有：Start Time（租车开始的时间），End Time（租车结束的时间），Name（姓名），Signature（签名），Date（日期），并没有要求填写 the price of the bicycle（自行车的价格）这一项。故正确答案为D。

【5】细节题。A项，根据文章第一段最后一句 For every hour the bicycle is late, I agree to pay an additional $10 可知，归还自行车时如果晚于约定时间，每晚一个小时需要额外支付10美元。所以，归还自行车的时候，有可能会支付额外费用。故A项正确。B项，根据文章第一段第二句 I agree to ride no farther than 100 miles from the Bicycle Rental office 可知，“骑行距离不超过距办公室100英里的范围”是租赁人与租车办公室约定的条件，但文中没有提及超过这一骑行范围需要交罚款。故B项错误。C项，根据文章第二段最后一句中 There is no cost for using items in the tool box 可知，使用工具箱里的工具是免费的。故C项错误。D项，“拒绝签订合同”。文中并未提及。故D项错误。故正确答案为A。

【6】细节题。根据文章第二段最后一句 There is no cost for using items in the tool box, but please report their use to the rental agent at the time of return 可知，当自行车爆胎，需要使用工具箱的工具时，不需要支付额外费用，但是需要在还车的时候向租车代理说明使用情况。故正确答案为A。
