单项选择题
According to John P. Caskey, pawnshops are important because
A．they provide great dollar value to the poor
B．they make big loans
C．they are serving the majority of the population
D．they make a, large number of loans to the poor
答案
参考答案：D
解析：细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知，“当铺为穷人提供了大量的借款”，因此，D选项为正确答案。A、B选项与文意不符。C选项与事实相反，由文章第三段第一句可知，大约只有10%的人(即穷人)才使用当铺，而不是大部分人。
