One of New York’s most beautiful and valuable buildings is in danger---the New York Public Library, in the heart of the city at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue, may have to close its doors.
The library is a very special place. Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. The library has over thirty million books and paintings. It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare play, a Bible printed by Gutenberg in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells of finding the new world.
Every New Yorker can see and use the library’s riches free. But the cost of running the library has risen rapidly in recent years, and the library does not have enough money to continue its work. In the past, it was open every evening and also on Saturdays and Sundays. Now it is closed at those times to save money.
The library is trying in every possible way to raise more money to meet its increasing costs. Well-known New York writers and artists are trying to help. So are the universities, whose students use the library, and the governments of Now York City and New York States. But the problem remains serious.
Yet a way must be found to save the library because, as one writer said, "The public Library is the most important building in New York City--it contains all our knowledge."
选项
A、Because it contains all our knowledge.
B、Because it is one of New York’s most valuable buildings.
C、Because well-known New York writers and artists are trying to use it.
D、Because there are a lot of rooms, in which readers can sit and think in comfort.
答案
B
解析
[听力原文]
Why is it important to save the library according to the passage?
根据选项可知本题是关于图书馆的价值、作用等方面。文章第一句“One of New York’s most beautiful and valuable buildings is in danger.”点明纽约市最漂亮最有价值的建筑之一公共图书馆正处于危险之中。根据下文也可知要保护这座图书馆是因为其价值所在。选项A)是强干扰项,虽然在最后作为原因提及,但不是客观答案。故正确答案为B)。
