问题     It is reported that bags are getting bigger and bigger all the time, and that there are more bags today than at any other time in history. If this is true, possible explanations could include the wide use of electronic gadgets, a reading-material explosion, a popular interest in tight or pocketless clothing, or cheap bag-making labor overseas.
    But, city life has set impediments(障碍) to bags. To enter many public buildings, theaters, ballparks, and perhaps even underground railway stations, you must go through a search or go without a bag. The city has countless bag rules.
    Last week, the New York Public Library got in the game. Students, researchers, writers, historians, and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule. You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library. If you walk in with one, you must leave it at the coat check.
    What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people’s taking things out, rather than their bringing things in. A librarian said on the second day, "It’s a big change for people who used to come and bring in half their flats. The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so. The people who steal will continue to get away with it, if they really want to. "
What does the passage mainly talk about?

选项 A、The history of the bag rules.
B、The importance of using libraries.
C、Different bags used in our daily life.
D、The use of bags and the rules against them.

答案D

解析 第一段讲了手提包变得越来越大、越来越多,并分析了其可能的原因;第二段介绍了城市中很多地方对于手提包的使用有限制规则;第三段以纽约公共图书馆为例对其进行了具体说明;最后一段介绍了一位图书馆馆长关于这种新规则对人们行为的影响的观点。由此可推知,D项(手提包的使用及反对其使用的规则)符合题意。其他三项均不能概括文章主要内容。故选D。
