三兄弟反哺乡亲,温暖他人11个寒冬
三兄弟反哺乡亲,温暖他人11个寒冬

On January 6, in Yuanqiao Village of Dengfeng, Henan Province, all villagers over 65 years old received cash gifts. This kind act has lasted for 11 years. It warmed the elders’ hearts on a cold winter day.

This kindness came from three brothers: Yuan Zhanguo, Yuan Zhanxin and Yuan Zhanjun. They grew up poor in the village. Later, they built a successful business. They never forgot how the villagers helped them when they were young. Since 2013, they have given money to the old people every month to return their help. They just want to let the elderly live a happier and more comfortable life in their hometown.

The rules are easy. On the 6th of every month, the elders get together to receive money. Those aged 65–79 get 300 yuan. Those aged 80–89 get 500 yuan. People over 90 get 1000 yuan. So far, the brothers have given over 6 million yuan. Some elders have received up to 80,000 yuan over the years. 

Besides cash, the brothers also offer warm coats in winter. The brothers’ company has spent hundreds of millions more in their hometown area. The money has been used to build schools, repair roads, support poor students, and fight poverty. They have truly made their village better.

1.1.Who receives the monthly cash gifts in Yuanqiao Village?

A Children under 10.

B People over 65.

C Young workers.

D Poor families.

解析:选B。B 细节理解题。答案直接来自文章第一句:“On January 6, in Yuanqiao Village of Dengfeng, Henan Province, all villagers over 65 years old received cash gifts.”(1月6日,河南省登封市元桥村所有65岁以上的村民都收到了现金礼物。)文章明确指出了受赠对象是65岁以上的村民,因此正确答案为B选项(65岁以上的人)。A选项(10岁以下儿童)、C选项(年轻工人)和D选项(贫困家庭)均未在文中提及。故选 B。

2.2. Why do the three brothers give money to the elders?

A To become famous.

B To return past kindness.

C To grow their business.

D To follow a local rule.

解析:选B。B 细节理解题。文章第二段明确说明:“They never forgot how the villagers helped them when they were young. Since 2013, they have given money to the old people every month to return their help.”(他们从未忘记村民在他们年轻时给予的帮助。自2013年起,他们每月给老人钱以回报这些帮助。)这直接揭示了三兄弟的动机是回报过去的善意。A选项(为了成名)、C选项(为了扩大生意)和D选项(遵循当地规定)在文中均无依据。故选B。

3.3. How much can a 92-year-old villager receive each month?

A 300 yuan.

B 500 yuan.

C 800 yuan.

D 1,000 yuan.

解析:选D。D 细节理解题。文章第三段详细规定了发放金额:“Those aged 65–79 get 300 yuan. Those aged 80–89 get 500 yuan. People over 90 get 1000 yuan.”(65-79岁老人得300元,80-89岁得500元,90岁以上得1000元。)92岁老人属于90岁以上群体,因此每月应获得1000元。故正确答案为D选项(1000元)。其他选项的金额与规则不符。故选D。

4.4. What else have the brothers done for the village besides giving cash?

A Provided jobs and trained the elderly.

B Organized trips and opened factories.

C Offered warm coats and built schools.

D Helped sell crops and repair houses.

解析:选C。C 细节理解题。文章最后一段提到:“Besides cash, the brothers also offer warm coats in winter. The brothers’ company has spent hundreds of millions more in their hometown area. The money has been used to build schools, repair roads, support poor students, and fight poverty.”(除了现金,兄弟还在冬天提供暖衣。他们的公司还在家乡地区投入了数亿元,用于建学校、修路、支持贫困学生和扶贫。)选项C(提供暖衣和建学校)准确概括了这些内容。A选项(提供工作并培训老人)、B选项(组织旅行和开设工厂)和D选项(帮助销售作物和修缮房屋)在文中均未提及。故选C。

5.5. What can we infer about the brothers’ character?

A Grateful and kind.

B Rich and famous.

C Strict and busy.

D Shy and quiet.

解析:选A。A 推理判断题。需要根据文章描述的行为推断三兄弟的性格特质。文章强调他们不忘村民过去的帮助(体现感恩),并持续多年通过现金、暖衣和投资建设家乡来回报社会(体现善良)。这些行为直接支撑了“感恩且善良”(Grateful and kind)的推断。B选项(富有且出名)虽可能属实,但文章重点在于其善举而非财富或名声;C选项(严格且忙碌)和D选项(害羞且安静)在文中缺乏依据。因此,通过合理推理,正确答案为A。
