细节题。题干意为“纽约市图书馆实施新规则的目的是什么?”由文章最后一段第一句“What the library is trying to pre-vent,in this case,is people taking things out,rather than bringing things in.”可知,图书管新规的目的是为了防止个别人未经允许带出图书资料。故C正确。

2根据下面资料,回答题。
You might be surprised to know that bicycles have existed for about two hundred years, but no one is sure who first made this popular two-wheeled machine.
(31)____The front wheel was much bigger than the back one, and also there weren´ t any ped-als(踏板). Riders had to move themselves forward by pushing their feet against the ground.
(32)____In 1879 an Englishman had the idea of connecting them to the back wheel with a chain. Gears( 齿轮), which made things much easier for those cycling uphill, first appeared in the 1890s.
There are now about one billion bicycles in the world.(33)____They have to compete with cars on the streets of all the world´ s cities, and the two forms of transport don´ t always mix well. In London in 2005, for example, over 300 cyclists were either killed or seriously hart in accidents.
