27、Last year, Mia McCarthy and Chase Robbins, both college students in the Iovine and Young Academy of USC(University of Southern California), were sitting around at 11 pm when they started craving for candy. The pair immediately ordered from DoorDash (a takeaway app) to settle the sweet tooth. After carefully tracking the driver for 45 minutes, the driver cancelled the delivery. This moment made them realize there had to be a quicker way for customers to order snacks without driving to a grocery store.

McCarthy and Robbins then set up their app — Handle, a service that delivers snacks, drinks, ice cream and household necessities to the USC area within 15 minutes. They spent the summer of 2021 exploring the process of starting a business. “We were trying to push things forward so fast that we started to hate weekends because no one else was working so we couldn’t contact suppliers,” Robbins said.

The major difficulty they faced was to figure out what strategy made the most sense for ordering and customer convenience. They decided the best choice was to hire engineers to build a fully functional app.

Although they made a lot of preparations, the app crashed on the night of its official launch in late August, letting McCarthy and Robbins feel hopeless. Even so, they didn’t give up. Robbins spent the following 10 days coding the app so that the team could ensure success for their second launch. Mia’s artistic background, combined with Robbins’ engineering background, allowed them to work well together. “It was really hard and emotionally challenging,“ McCarthy said. “I’m really glad that we were able to make it.”

The early days of the business were nothing but difficult. McCarthy and Robbins delivered orders, worked on marketing and spoke with suppliers to improve the products the store was selling. They now have an entire group of deliverers working from 4 pm to 1 am daily, delivering thousands of products to people in the surrounding campus community.

【1】What do the underlined words “craving for” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Buying.

B．Selling.

C．Wanting to eat.

D．Trying to make.

【2】Why did Mia McCarthy and Chase Robbins set up Handle?

A．To deliver products more quickly.

B．To make money to pay for their education

C．TO put their knowledge into practice.

D．To solve the problem of unemployment.

【3】What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A．The app Handle didn’t come easy.

B．Robbins is more capable than McCarthy.

C．McCarthy and Robbins often felt hopeless

D．I’s easy to give up when staring a business

【4】Which of the following words best describe Mia McCarthy and Chase Robbins?

A．Kind and curious.

B．Determined and hard- working

C．Patient and helpful.

D．Strict and independent.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

After knowing that she couldn’t bear a child, Helen was devastated. One day while she was driving home from the café, a dirty puppy in the road caught Helen’s attention. After consideration, Helen and her husband eventually decided to take him home. And they later named him Ollie.

Two years later, Ollie had grown into a large ball of fur. Ollie was Helen’s world, and she hated it whenever someone addressed him as her rescue dog. Helen never went out without Ollie. One day, they were hanging out together outside a supermarket, unprepared for what was coming their way.

“Hey boy, wait in the car. I’ll be back, alright?” Helen said as she patted Ollie on his head. She locked him in the car and headed to the supermarket because Ollie hated crowded places and never accompanied Helen to the stores.

Moments later, there was a sudden outburst of chaos. Helen was busy shopping and had no idea it was raining heavily outside. The whole area began to flood unexpectedly. People rushed to every open store they could find for shelter.

12-year-old boy Matt was looking for a place to run to safety when he spotted people running to the supermarket nearby. He had no time to think and ran after them.

Matt hurried upstairs with the rest. Suddenly, Helen noticed the situation and was alarmed. “What happened?” she asked a man and screamed at the top of her lungs when she learned of the flood. All she could think of was Ollie trapped in the car.

“OLLIE..., I left my dog in the car,” she cried, running toward the window. “My dog is trapped in the car. Somebody, please...”

Matt looked outside and saw the car Helen pointed to was in the flash flood. Helen was frightened to go out because she didn’t know how to swim. Matt understood Helen’s anxiety and ran to her pet’s rescue.

He grabbed an iron rod from the corner and raced downstairs. “Hey kid, where are you going? You will drown,” someone shouted. But Matt turned a deaf ear to him because he was determined to save Ollie. In the meanwhile, some people placed a call to the rescue center.
