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. "
Which of the following is NOT a possible explanation of bags getting bigger and bigger?

选项 A、Wide use of electronic gadgets.
B、A reading-material explosion.
C、A popular interest in clothing with many pockets.
D、Cheap bag-making labor overseas.

答案C

解析 根据第一段第二句“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.”可知,手提包变得越来越大的可能解释包括:电子小装置的广泛使用,阅读材料暴增,紧身衣或无口袋服装的流行,以及海外手提包制造的廉价劳动力。C项与文章内容不符。故选C。
