It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time, and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history.If this is true, possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic gadgets(裝置), a reading-material explosion, a popular interest toward tight or pocketless clothing, or cheap bagmaking labor overseas.
But, much as nature finds ways--such as disease--to control overpopulation, city life has thrown up impediments(障礙) to bags.to enter many public buildings, theatres, ballparks, and perhaps even underground railway stations, you must go through a search or go bagless.The city has countless bag rules.It is hard to keep them all straight, and you're never sure, when leaving home for the day, whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along.
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.You may keep its contents with you, however, and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them.You return them when you come back for your own bag.
What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people taking things out, rather than bringing things in.A librarian said on the second day, "It' s a big change for people who used 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.
27.What does the writer mainly talk about?
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 it.
28.The bag rules in many public buildings require people to
A.leave the places bagless
B.pay for bringing in bags
C.have their bags examined
D.use big clear plastic bags
29.What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?
A.to change people' s way of reading.
B.to help people better use the library.
C.to prevent people stealing from the library.
D.to stop people from bringing in dangerous things.
30.How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?
A.Excellent.
B.Limited.
C.Harmful.
D.Unclear.

據報道，包一直在增大，而且現(xiàn)今在街上人們手中包的數量比歷史上任何時候都要多。如果屬實的話，可以將原因歸結為廣泛使用的電器類或電子類產品，大量的閱讀材料，以及緊身衣或是沒有口袋的服裝的流行，又或者是由于海外低成本的包袋制造勞動力。
但是，如同大自然利用疾病來控制過量人口一樣，城市化的生活為包的使用設置了很多障礙。攜帶包進入很多公共場所，諸如劇院、球場，或許還有地鐵站時都需要通過檢查或選擇不帶包進入。城市里有數不盡的包的使用規(guī)則。想要一直帶著包很困難，而且出門之前你永遠不能確定只帶一個包會不會是個糟糕的主意。
上個星期，紐約市圖書館也實行了相關規(guī)定。學生、研究者、作家、史學家以及其他那些習慣于將玫瑰主閱覽室當作辦公室或者普通閱覽室使用并且使用了很多年的讀者們遭遇到了新規(guī)定。新規(guī)規(guī)定不允許讀者攜帶超過l4英寸長、11英寸寬的包進入圖書館。如果攜帶有超過
此尺寸的包，請放置于衣帽間。但是請隨身攜帶包內私人物品，圖書館可以提供大號的透明塑料袋用于放置物品。請讀者于離開時取回自己的包并同時歸還塑料袋。
這種情況更多的是為了預防有人將圖書資料帶離圖書館，而不是擔心他們帶進的物品。新規(guī)實施的第二天，一位圖書館管理人員表示，“對于那些習慣于隨身攜帶很多物品的人來說，這是個很大的變化。負責任的讀者將會支持這一規(guī)定，然而此規(guī)定并不能有效制止那些偷書者。”

27.D【精析】主旨題。題干意為“作者主要講述的是什么?”全文述說了包袋使用的現(xiàn)狀，接著又說明在城市中存在很多不允許攜帶包袋的地方或場合D項符合題意。文中其他三項在文中均沒有體現(xiàn)，故D正確。
28.C【精析】細節(jié)題。題于意為“在許多公共場所，包的使用規(guī)則要求人們。”由文章第二段第二句“to enter many public
buildings，theatres，ballparks，and perhaps even underground railway stations.You must go through a search of go bagless.”可知，
想要進入一些公共場所要么不帶包，如果帶了包都要接受檢查。故C正確。
29.C【精析】細節(jié)題。題于意為“紐約市圖書館實施新規(guī)則的目的是什么?”由文章最后一段第一句“What the library is trying to prevent，in this case，is people taking things out，rather than bringing things in.”可知，圖書管新規(guī)的目的是為了防止個別人未經允許帶出圖書資料。故C正確。
30.B【精析】細節(jié)題。題于意為“圖書館理員認為新規(guī)則的效果如何?”由最后一段最后一句中的“The people who steal will confinue to get away with it，if they really want to.”可知，圖書管理人員認為新規(guī)對于不同的人有不同的影響，但是那些真心想偷取圖書資料的人不會受到太多的制約，所以新規(guī)的作用是有限的。故B正確。
