In 1971, he received the Associated Press Broadcaster of the Year Award for the program Drug Crisis in East Harlem. He received the award again in 1972 for program Migrants, Dirt Cheap. His most famous expose however was done on the horrible conditions at Staten Island’s Willowbrook State School. It is the world’s largest institution for the mentally disabled.

题目解答

答案

A

解析

本题考查对文章细节的理解，需定位“One-to-One”的相关描述并分析其含义。

步骤1：定位原文信息

根据第三段内容：“He founded One-to-One, a charity (慈善机构) that provides small group homes for the care of of mentally disabled in the community.” 关键信息为：

  • “charity（慈善机构）”；
  • “provides small group homes for the care care of mentally disabled in the community（为社区内的智障人士提供小型集体家庭护理）”。

步骤2：分析选项

  • 选项A：“an organization in the community that helps take better care of the mentally disabled（社区内帮助更好照顾智障人士的组织）”。
    原文明确“One-to-One”是慈善机构，且目的是“提供护理”，符合“帮助更好照顾”的表述，且“in the community”与原文一致，正确。

  • 选项B：“a device that helps the mentally disabled behave themselves（帮助智障人士自律的设备）”。
    原文未提及“device（设备）”，仅提到“small group homes（小型集体家庭）”，错误。

  • 选项C：“an organization that provides homes for the mentally disabled（为智障人士提供家庭的组织）”。
    原文是“provides small group homes for the care of...”（提供家庭以进行护理），但选项未强调“护理”和“in the community”，且“take better care of”更全面涵盖“护理”的目的，故A更准确。

  • 选项D：“a hospital that helps cure the mentally disabled（帮助治愈智障人士的医院）”。
    原文未提及“hospital（医院”，且“care（护理）”≠“cure（治愈）”，错误。

结论

选项A最符合原文对“One-to-One”的定义。
