河北省唐山市路北区2022-2024年中考英语二模试题分类汇编 任务型阅读 2024年河北省唐山市路北区中考二模英语试卷 IX. 任务型阅读 (共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分) Do schools need libraries and librarians? In the USA, libraries are not required in public schools. Over 8, 000 schools have no libraries. For those with libraries, about 17, 000 have no librarians. Since 2000, nearly 20%of librarians have been removed from public schools. Libraries cost lots of money to set up and keep up-to-date(更新). Public schools depend on taxpayer(纳税人)money to pay for books, computers, salaries, and more. When there is not enough money, schools often remove librarians' jobs and buy fewer books. Books can become out-of-date, and many schools even have replaced libraries with media centers that have computers so that students can find new information online. These changes save money, and students can still get their work done. It seems like a win-win game. However, national and state research comparing students' test scores found big differences among U. S. schools. The research found that students who had school libraries and librarians did better in school. Students learn more when schools have up-to-date libraries. Librarians are experts in library science and have many important skills. They can show students how to do good research. Librarians can teach students how to tell the difference between good and bad information. Many librarians also work with teachers and their classes. Cutting spending is necessary when there isn't enough money. Schools have to find ways to help their students succeed while keeping spending down. Libraries and librarians help students learn and succeed, so they are very important. Next, schools may need to look for other ways to cut spending. 66、67 题完成句子;68题将文中画线句子译成汉语;69、70题简略回答问题。 66.
