问题  
A Pew Research Center survey of more than 1,000 Americans conducted in April 2016 finds that Americans continue to express largely positive views about the current state of their local public libraries. (16) For instance, around three-quarters say that public libraries provide them with the resources they need. And 66% say the closing of their local public library would have a major impact on their community, although notably, just 33% say this would have a major impact on them personally or on their family.
    A majority of Americans feel libraries are doing a good job of providing a safe place for people to hang out or spend time as well as opening up educational opportunities for people of all ages. (17) And roughly half think their libraries contribute " a lot" to their communities in terms of helping spark creativity among young people and providing a trusted place for people to learn about new technologies.
    As in past Pew Research Center surveys of library use, the April 2016 survey also measured Americans’ usage of and engagement with libraries. Overall, 53% of Americans age 16 and older have had some interaction with a public library in the past year—either through an in-person visit, or using a library website. (18) Some 48% of adults specifically visited a library in the past 12 months, a modest increase from the 44% who said that in late 2015.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What do most Americans say about local public libraries?
17. How can local public libraries benefit young people?
18. What does the 2016 survey show about adult library users?

选项 A、By helping them find jobs.
B、By inspiring their creativity.
C、By keeping them off the streets.
D、By providing a place of relaxation.

答案 B

解析 题干问的是当地公共图书馆是怎样让年轻人受益的。短文中提到,大概一半的美国人认为图书馆帮助激发年轻人的创造力,让人们放心地学习新科技,对社区做出了巨大贡献,故答案为B(通过激发他们的创造力)。A项(通过帮助他们找工作)短文中并未提及,故排除。短文中提到,大多数美国人认为图书馆为人们提供了一个安全的地方,让他们闲逛或消磨时间,但没有特指年轻人,C项(通过让他们远离街头)和D项(通过提供一个放松的场所)与题干所问不符,故排除。
