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. "
How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?
选项 A、Excellent.
B、Limited.
C、Harmful.
D、Unclear.
答案B
解析 根据最后一段中图书馆馆长说的话中的“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. ”可知，图书馆馆长认为，负责任地使用图书馆的人会继续这么做，而偷东西的人，如果真的想偷，会继续偷走东西。由此可推知，新规的作用是有限的。excellent：杰出的，极好的；limited：有限的；harmful：(尤指对健康或环境)有害的，导致损害的；unclear：不清楚的，不确定的。故选B。
