善行的力量
“英国辛德勒”:尼古拉斯·温顿的生平
1 1939年8月,一群心惊胆战的孩子在布拉格的威尔逊车站登上一辆列车。而他们伤心欲绝的父母却没有上车。他们确实害怕也许再也见不到自己的孩子了,可他们知道,孩子们能够活下去。这些孩子大都是犹太人,他们是尼古拉斯·温顿即将从纳粹的死亡之手里解救的669名儿童中的一部分。
2 尼古拉斯·温顿于1909年5月19日出生于伦敦,父母是德裔犹太人。这一家人后来获得英国国籍。离开学校以后,温顿先后在德国和法国的银行工作。他在1931年返回英国经商。
3 1938年12月,一位朋友请求温顿前往布拉格帮助那里的人们逃脱纳粹的迫害。在布拉格,温顿看到人们生活在绝境中,且生命处于危险之中。他决定帮忙把孩子们转移到英国安全的地方。他开设了一个办事处,记录孩子们的信息,然后回到英国为他们寻找临时住所。他用捐款加上自己的钱支付了英国政府向每个孩子征收的50英镑的费用。截至1939年8月,温顿已经解救了669个孩子。
4 二战期间,温顿成为英国皇家空军的一名军官。1954年他离开了部队,之后在一些国际慈善机构和多家公司工作过。通常他不会提及他解救的那些孩子,于是他的事迹很快在人们的记忆中消失。
5 直到1988年,他的妻子格蕾特在家中发现了一本被遗忘的日记,一切都发生了改变。日记本中夹着孩子们的照片,记录着孩子们的名字和寄养家庭的地址。她把这本日记送到了一家报社。那一年,温顿在英国电视节目《这就是人生》上露面。节目中,主持人问在场观众中有没有被温顿救过的人,如果有请起立。温顿震惊地看到(在场的)大多数人都站了起来。这个节目让温顿的事迹引起了公众的注意,也让温顿被世界各地的人们所尊敬。
6 此后,温顿的成就为他赢得了各种各样的荣誉,其中包括2003年获得的爵士称号,以及2014年获得的捷克政府最高荣誉——白狮勋章。
7 尼古拉斯·温顿于2015年7月1日与世长辞,享年106岁。这恰恰印证了中国的一句古话:仁者寿。

A
A charity is carrying badly ill children above the clouds to receive the life-saving medical treatments they need.Founded by Mark Pestal,AeroAngel provides the children with private flights to hospitals across the United States for free.
While serving on the board of another charity,Pestal recognized the need for access to high-performance airplanes that can fly in bad weather and travel long distances without stopping.Then AeroAngel was born.Most of its flights are at least 500 miles in distance,and the kids they help are often battling serious illnesses which prevent them from being in large crowds and on commercial airlines.AeroAngel's private planes can fly into and out of small airports,making them accessible to families in both the countryside and big cities.
In addition to leading the organization,Pestal serves as a co-pilot on about 25% of its flights,but he wants to increase that number.“I'm working on putting myself out of the job as the director,” he said,“so I can just be a co-pilot on the flights and fly the kids around.”
Four-year-old Dria from Idaho had been on a waiting list for an operation for almost two years.Her mother received a call on a Wednesday afternoon telling her there was a donor at Duke University.But Dria needed to be in North Carolina that Sunday for the operation.“With some miracles,AeroAngel was able to find a volunteer pilot to fly to Idaho on Saturday night and to be ready to leave for Duke on Sunday morning,” Dria's mother said.
Already helping one to two families each week,AeroAngel,which has received more than $3.5 million in donations to date,aims to expand to be able to cover more areas and kids.“We've got a full list of probably over a dozen flights that we're trying to fill right now.I'd like to say that we're trying to have more pilots joining us and give them professional training.It means that we are building the program while continuing the flight services,” Pestal shared.
[解题导语] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AeroAngel慈善机构为重病儿童提供免费交通,介绍了其优点以及通过事例来说明其提供及时帮助的惊人能力。
1.What does AeroAngel do

解析 B 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Founded by Mark Pestal,AeroAngel provides the children with private flights to hospitals across the United States for free.”可知,AeroAngel为重病儿童提供免费交通。故选B。

A.It is more affordable to poor families.
B.Its planes are more suitable for long-distance travel.
C.Its planes are faster than those of commercial airlines.

A.To show how much support AeroAngel has received.
B.To explain how AeroAngel operates across the US.
C.To highlight AeroAngel's amazing ability to provide timely help.
D.To stress the difficulty of providing medical treatments for kids.

4.What is probably AeroAngel's future plan according to the last paragraph

A project in Britain is trying to deal with the loneliness of the old by asking young people to work as volunteers to help the old.
Lorna Burnett was paired with 15-year-old Ailsa,a schoolgirl,through the Reading Friends project.Lorna used to read two to three books every week when she was a librarian.In her 40s,she developed a serious eye disease and her vision became worse and worse.Finally,she was unable to read or watch television for any length of time without her eyes hurting.
Not only have Lorna's reading periods with Ailsa helped to reconnect her with her love for literature,they have also built a strong intergenerational friendship.“I chose a book and she would come along and read it to me,” Lorna said.
Since the Reading Agency started the program in 2017,they have introduced tens of Reading Friends periods across Northern Ireland,Scotland,Wales,and England.
According to the organisation's website,“Loneliness is an important health and well-being problem for older people.Research shows that reading together can help older people to build social networks and connect with others.Fact also shows that reading has a good influence on cognitive functions (认知能力) and well-being and can reduce the risk of dementia (痴呆).”
Ruth Sheppard from Bannockburn High School is responsible for connecting schoolchildren like Ailsa with the program and she says that it has had an amazing influence on the young people.“We have wonderful young people at our school and we want to get them into the community,” Sheppard said.“It has been fantastic to see them become more confident as well as improving their reading ability and social skills.They are meeting community members like Lorna that they are making friendships with,and all the library workers also help them.”
[解题导语] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国的一个阅读之友项目:该项目邀请年轻人作为志愿者给老年人读书听。这个项目不仅可以帮助解决老年人的孤独问题,而且也对年轻人产生了个人益处,应该鼓励更多的年轻人加入。
5.What does the underlined word “vision” in paragraph 2 mean
A.View. B.Sight.
C.Strength. D.Confidence.
解析 B 词义猜测题。上文提到了Lorna Burnett在40多岁时患上了严重的眼部疾病,画线词所在句的“and”表达并列顺承关系,由此可推知“her vision became worse and worse”应是表达“她的视力越来越差”的含义。因此,“vision”应是“视力”的含义,与选项B表达含义相同。故选B。
6.How does Ailsa help Lorna
A.By reading books to her.
B.By looking after her carefully.
C.By collecting good books for her.
D.By helping her with her library work.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段 “‘I chose a book and she would come along and read it to me,’ Lorna said.”可知,Ailsa是通过给Lorna读书听来帮助她的。故选A。
7.Why does the author use the words on the Reading Agency's website
A.To explain the bad influence of loneliness.
B.To introduce the health condition of the old.
C.To show the necessity of running the program.
D.To encourage young people to join the program.
解析 C 推理判断题。分析第五段内容可知,该部分内容首先提出问题“孤独是关乎老年人的重要的健康和幸福问题”,其次,提出解决方法“陪伴和阅读”,并讲述其好处,以证实该项目的可行性和现实意义。由此可推知,这里引用网站内容是在强调该项目实施的必要性。故选C。
8.What can we learn from Ruth Sheppard's words
A.The program is also good for the students.
B.The program needs more students like Ailsa.
C.The program has won the support of communities.
D.The program is highly thought of by many students.
解析 B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Sheppard的话可知,她提出想让更多的优秀年轻人融入社区,并在下文讲到了该项目带给年轻人的好处,从而进一步暗示了希望更多的年轻人加入这个项目。因此,通过她的话可推测,这个项目需要更多像Ailsa这样的年轻人的加入。故选B。
