单选题请阅读 Passage 2，完成第 26~30小题 。Passage 2Paper money is used every day but people do not often think of money as just paper.This is because people agree that it has value，and paper money is supported by the government.People have used paper money for only a few hundred years，but what did people do before printed money was invented? In Medieval England，a stick was the official representation of money. The common system that was used involved counting debt on a piece of wood called a tally stick. The tally stick was marked with a knife.Each mark，or tally，indicated an amount of money.The tally stick acted as a contract.No one really knows who invented the tally stick，but King Henry I of England is credited as the first to use the stick in a widespread fashion.In England，the tally stick was used from 1100-1826.Marks were made on a tally stick to represent the amount of service or goods that were exchanged.The tally stick was cut in halflengthwise into two parts，and one stick was longer than the other.The person giving services or goods received the longer end of the stick，called the stock，and the person paying for the service or goods received the shorter end.Once the stick was cut，it could not be altered.When put together，the two halves fit perfectly together.Medieval England was not the only country to use the tally stick system.In 1960，Belgian scientist Jean de Heinzelin de Braucourt discovered an extremely old tally stick made of baboon bone in Africa.At first，he determined the stick to be between about 8，000 to 10，000 years old.This surprised many people because it proved that the tally stick system had been in use for much longer than everyone had previously thought.Further research has shown that this stick is actually much older: now，scientists believe it is 20，000 years old.The tally stick system may no longer be in use today，but its influence is still apparent.People still make contracts and people still borrow and lend money.People still trust that things-whether they are sticks，paper，or coins-have value.The next time paper money is used，just remember: it is only paper!Which of the following statements is true?AEnglish tally sticks have more marks than African ones.

Dthere are 151,000 houses being built in risky places now
正确答案： A解析：
录音中英国环境部长保证2011年以前把用于防洪的费用从6亿英镑增加到8亿英镑，但是并不能从根本上解决问题，因为英格兰人总是喜欢把房子建在危险地区（容易受洪灾影响地区），此外十分之一在建新房都处于类似的危险地带，包括在Ashford计划建造的31,000座房子和伦敦Thames Gateway的120,000座房子，可知现在有151,000座在建房屋处在危险地区。
【录音原文】
The environment minister pledged to boost spending on flood defences from ￡600 million now to ￡800 million a year by 2011. The extra money will be welcome, but will not address the fundamental problem: England’s penchant for building houses in silly places (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all much stricter). Some ￡200 billion-worth of houses, businesses and other infrastructure is at risk from flooding. One in ten new houses are being built in similarly risky places, including 31,000 planned for Ashford in Kent and 120, 000 in London’s Thames Gateway. -
