【解析】

这是一篇应用文。本文是一篇自行车出租的广告。

1.细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知租借者的信息；由第一段最后一句“For every hour the bicycle is late, I agree to pay an additional $10”可知超出租用时间的费用；由倒数第三行“period of rental”可知租用的起止时间。用排除法可知自行车的价值在文中并未提及。故选B。

2.推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“For every hour the bicycle is late, I agree to pay an additional $10”和第二段最后一句“There is no cost for using items in the kit, but please report their use to the dental agent at the time of return”可知需要额外付钱的部分是超时的费用，使用套件中的工具不需要付钱。晚了两个小时归还自行车是需要付额外的费用的。故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The dental rate includes insurance, which covers minor damage to the bicycle”可知保险是包括自行车的维修的，所以保险会负担自行车座椅小裂缝的维修费用。故选C。
