CMC . B I became a writer , although it wasn’t easy at first . My first role was writing newsletters （通讯） for a company . I wrongly believed that I needed big English words . It made writing a painful job . It would take me ages to complete my writing tasks with “ big words ” from the great Oxford dictionary . I ' d burn my energy reserves fast . It didn’ t feel right . I was so puzzled . My break came unexpectedly . I was visiting my grandparents . That evening , my grandfather invited me to his study , where a lot of life - changing conversations with him happened . He wanted to know what was draining （使劳累） me so much in the city .

On one hand , it wastes more than a third of food produced for human consumption , much of it ending up in landfills because it has passed an expiration date （有效期）. On the other hand , one in five Americans is hungry , unable to afford , access , or prepare proper meals on a regular basis . How to solve it ? A number of companies are working hard to tackle this problem , but a big part of the challenge is logistics （物流）一 figuring out how to get surplus （过剩的） food from point A to point B where it ’ s needed before it goes bad . One particularly interesting effort is called Food Rescue Hero . Calling itself “ the only food rescue technology that is also an operating food rescue organization ", this model is an app that connects volunteers to the stores or supermarkets with surplus food and tells them where to drop it off . This could be a household in need or a non - profit organization serving people experiencing food insecurity , Volunteers receive information through the app when a pickup is ready and usually have a two - hour window to complete iL . Ninety - nine percent of pickups are completed by volunteers , with remaining ones done by staff . Some volunteers choose to work weekly , while others accept pickups only when convenient . One super － engaged volunteer , Vincent Petti , has single - handedly made 1,500 rescues in Pittsburgh , Families like to get involved ,to0. It ’ s a great way to teach children about the problems of food waste and fo0d insecurity and show them how to take meaningful action to fight it . Since launched in 2016, the Food Rescue Hero app has redirected an estimated 40 million pounds of good food . It has expanded beyond its pilot location in Pittsburgh to 10 partners operating in 12 cities , and it hopes to be in 100 cities by 2030. You can be a part of that spread by downloading the app ’ s guide to start a food rescue in your own city . 8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A . To introduce the background . B .

What can we infer about the app ? A . It is a success . B. It has shortcomings. C . It charges little to download . D. It is only accessible to volunteers. D Not sleeping enough or getting a bad night ’ s sleep over and over makes it hard to control your appetite . And that sets you up for all sorts of health problems , including obesity （肥胖）, heart disease and high blood pressure . The link between poor sleep and a greater body mass index ( BMI ) has been shown in study after study , but researchers topically relied on the memories of the participants to record how well they slept . Sleep apps on fitness trackers , smartphones and watches have changed all that . In a new study researchers tracked sleep quality for 120,000 people for up to two years . The results showed sleep durations and patterns are highly variable between people . Despite that , the study found people with BMIs of 30 or above - which is considered obese - had slightly shorter sleep durations and more variable sleep patterns . It didn’t take much less sleep to see the effect . People with BMIs over 30 only slept about 15 minutes less than those less weighty people . There were some limitations to the study , Naps （午睡） were not included , other health conditions could not be factored in , and people who use wearable tracking devices are typically younger , healthier and from a higher economic status than those who do not wear trackers . “ These are quite pricey devices , and they are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration . The results would need to be validated （确认） by the appropriate FDA ——approved devices , and because the study is likely on younger people who are more economically well off , it needs further study whether that really applies to older folks with poor sleep .” said Dasgupta , the associate program director . However , Dasgupta added, a major plus for the study is that it did monitor people for over two years , and the results corroborated previous research and were “ not surprising ". While we cannot determine the direction of association from our study result , these findings provide further support to the idea that sleep patterns are associated with weight management and overall health . 12. How does the new study differ from previous studies ? A . It lasts the longest time in history . B . It uses apps to record participants ' sleep . C . It specially improves participants ’ sleep quality . D . It relied on participants ’ memory to record data . 13. What is Dasgupta ’ s attitude toward the new finding ? A . Doubtful . B . Shocked . C . Cautious . D . Dissatisfied . 14. What does the underlined word " Corroborated ” probably mean in Paragraph 8? A . Limit . B. Correct C. Confirm D. Combine 15. What can be the best title for the text ? A . Sleep Quality Varies from Person to Person B . Sleep Apps Are Widely Used to Monitor Sleep C . Young People Are Paying More Attention to Obesity D . Lack of Sleep May Be Possibly Connected with Obesity 第二节（共5小题；每小題2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Volunteering Experience From practicing your communication skills to expanding your social network , volunteering can provide value for not only the organization you volunteer for but you yourself ._16_ Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your volunteer experience .
