B1U3 Text 信息匹配填空题Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. （填写句子所在段落代码）A1 The newlyweds came to Berlin as students, a pair of Latvian Jews who wanted to make it big in singing. In 1934, just after Adolf Hitler took control of Germany, the wife became pregnant with a child who would soon become known as the “perfect Aryan.”B2 The photo was everywhere. It first appeared in a Nazi magazine and then was splashed across postcards and storefronts.C3 Less well-known, however, was the fact that the “Aryan” girl it claimed to show was actually Jewish.DAs remarkable as that revelation is, more remarkable is the story that accompanies it. The girl, now 80 and named Hessy Levinsons Taft, recently presented the magazine cover, on which there is her baby photo, to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Israel and offered her tale to the German newspaper Bild.EIt begins in 1928 when her parents came to Berlin. Both were singers. The father, Jacob, had accepted a position at a local opera house. It was the time of surging anti-Semitism in Berlin, and when the company found out his Jewish origin, it canceled his contract.FLiving in a very crowded one-room apartment, the young couple gave birth to Hessy Levinsons on May 17, 1934. She was beautiful. So when she was 6 months old, the parents decided to have her picture taken. They took her to one of the best photographers in Berlin, and he came out with a very beautiful picture.GHer parents liked it so much that they framed it and put it up on the piano. They had thought the picture was a private family photo. But soon after, a woman who helped clean the apartment arrived to deliver some surprising news.H“You know,” the woman said, “I saw Hessy on a magazine cover in town.”IHessy’s mother found that impossible to believe. A lot of babies look the same, the mother explained, and surely the helper was mistaken. But she wasn’t.J“No, no,” the helper explained to Taft’s mother. “It’s definitely Hessy. Just give me some money, and I’ll get you the magazine.”KMoney changed hands, and the maid soon returned with a magazine. The cover photo was exactly the same picture that was there, resting on the piano. The magazine was a Nazi magazine with pages full of images of men wearing swastikas and even one of Hitler himself reviewing the troops.LThe parents were terrified. Why was their Jewish infant on the cover of a Nazi magazine?MThey contacted the photographer and tried to find out what had really happened.NThe photographer told them that he had been asked to submit his 10 best pictures for a beauty contest run by the Nazis. So were 10 other outstanding photographers in Germany. And he sent in Hessy’s picture.O“But you knew my Hessy is a Jewish child,” the mother exclaimed.P“Yes,” the photographer said, explaining there had been a competition to find the perfect example of the Aryan race to further Nazi philosophy. “I wanted to allow myself the pleasure of this joke. And you see, I was right. Of all the babies, they picked this baby as the perfect Aryan.”QFamily stories are always prone to exaggeration — but this appears to be true. Taft has a large collection of photographs that show her in numerous publications and cards. “I can laugh about it now,” said Taft, now a chemistry professor at St. John’s University in New York, “But if the Nazis had known who I really was, I wouldn’t be alive.”RThe parents were equally shocked and “amazed at the irony of it all.” In the weeks afterward, the picture was everywhere. One time, Taft said, her aunt went to the store to buy a birthday card for her first birthday in May of 1935, only to find a card with Taft’s baby picture on it. “Without saying a single word, my aunt bought the postcard, which my parents brought with them throughout the years.”SEventually, the family fled Europe and found refuge in Cuba for years before immigrating to the United States. In the late 1940s, the Levinsons family settled in New York City, and Hessy got married and became Hessy Levinsons Taft.1____ But few people were aware that the girl that was claimed to be “Aryan” was, in fact, Jewish.2____ Jacob, the baby’s father, got a job in a local opera house, but the theater abolished the contract when it found that he was Jewish.3____ My parents carried the postcard with the very picture on it all these years, which my aunt happened to buy for my first birthday.4____ Taft collected many photos of herself, published in various publications and printed on various postcards.5____ The young couple took their 6-month-old baby to a top photographer in Berlin and took a very beautiful picture for her.6____ Taft, now a chemistry professor, said that she would not survive at that time if the Nazis knew her true identity.7____ The maid soon bought back a Nazi magazine with the cover picture the same as the one on her master’s piano.8____ A Jewish newlyweds came to Berlin to study, hoping to show their skills in their singing career. When the wife conceived a child, the child was later known as the “perfect Aryan”.9____ The baby’s parents were shocked and found it extremely ironic when learned about the whole incident.10____ The photographer was asked to send ten best photos to a beauty contest held by the Nazis. He submitted Hesse’s photos.
