[单选题]What was Ponzi’s crime?

回答下面的题目：From Ponzi to MadoffThe year was 1920．The country was the United States of America．The man’s name was Charles Ponzi．Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account．Instead，they should give it to him to save for them．Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank．For example，a savings account might pay you$5 a year for every$1 00 you deposit．Ponzi，however，would pay you $40 a year for every $1 00 you gave him to hold．Many people thought this was a good plan．They began to give their money to Ponzi．How could Ponzi make so much money for people? This is what he did with the money people gave him：He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money．However，he also kept a lot of the money for himself．Soon he had $250 million．This was a kind of theft，and it was against the law．The people who gave him their money didn’t think anything was wrong．Ponzi paid them every month，just like a bank．Ponzi continued this way of working for two years．Then one day，he didn’t have enough money to pay all the people．They discovered his crime，and he went to prison for froud．Ninety years later，people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Mad off．People said he gave good advice about money．They said when they gave him their money，he paid them a lot more than the bank．Mad off helped hospitals，schools，and individuals earn money．Over a period of 40 years，people gave him$1 70 billion．However，no one investigated what he did with themoney．The people who gave Mad off their money also didn’t think anything was wrong because he paid them every month．One day，Mad off didn’t have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay．That’s when people discovered how Madoff worked：He was taking money from some people to pay other people， just the way Charles Ponzi did．However，this time，instead of losing millions of dollars，people lost billions．Madoff was accused of fraud，and United States government officials arrested him．He didn’t have to go on trial because he said he was guilty．In 2009，a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison．Bernard Madoff’s crime was even bigger than Ponzi’s．It was the biggest fraud in history．The lesson of this story is clear：When something seems too good to be true，it probably is !For every$100 Ponzi promises to pay people__________．

He didn’t pay people the interests．

解析：句意：庞齐犯了什么罪?本题的关键字是crime，在文章第二段找到相关句为本段最后一句They discovered his crime，and he went to prison for fraud从中我们可以看到，他是因为诈骗入狱的。四个选项中D项他没有给人们支付利息属于诈骗，所以本题选D。

[单选题]Paragraph 5__________

回答下面的题目： The Supercomputer Network1. Recently ten laboratories run by governments in different parts of the world have become linked. Their computers have been connected so they can "talk" to each other. This may not seem very dramatic news, but it is the beginning of a development that will increase the power of the Internet tremendously.2. The Internet is an interconnected ( 互联 ) system of networks that connects computers round the world and facilitates the transmission and exchange of information. The way that you use the lnternet is by accessing this network. This depends on the power that your system allows you to use. The power of your computer is responsible for how fast you can download ( 下载 ) files, how much data you can store, etc. If your computer is old and slow, accessing the information can be very difficult.3. The new development in information technology has been called "the grid" (网络技术), and it will be a network of computers that are linked together. The "grid" will work in a different way from the Internet, enabling you to get the power of the biggest computers in the world on your computer. Accessing the information will no longer depend on the power of your computer. The idea is that while you accessinformation, you will also have access to the power of the bigger computer stations.4. One advantage of this revolutionary idea is that geographical location will become irrelevant. The "grid" will decide which are the best parts of a worldwide network to do the job you want. This means that you may be accessing a computer in Japan to solve a problem in Alaska.5. The "grid" can be compared to having an efficient personal assistant. You can give your assistant a task and "he" will do it for you. The assistant will do the preliminary research, collect the data, compare them and decide on the best course of action by accessing any of the computer centres in the "grid" that happen to have the relevant information. All you have to do is assign the task, sit back and wait.6. At present, possible applications of the "grid" in scientific research are being explored. While it has taken about fifteen years for Internet use to become widespread, experts believe that the "grid" could be up and running for private individuals far more quickly. Scientists working on "grid" projects are convinced that it will be as widely used as the web in the next ten years.Paragraph 2__________
