The food ends up in landfills, producing harmful greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy, affordable meals. Evan Lutz is passionate about correcting that social injustice. And he bines that goal with a passion for business. My entire life I39。ve wanted to bee a social entrepreneur, not just starting a business that made money but also one that gave back. I39。m just an average guy with a passion towards making sure no food goes to waste and making sure no person39。s ever hungry in America and I want to do that through business. Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest. Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells ugly produce. These are fruits and vegetables that most food panies would throw away. If you go to a grocery store everything is growing the same exact way. Right. So all that stuff that doesn39。t grow the same way gets wasted and gets thrown out. And so we take all that stuff that normally get thrown out because it39。s too big too small in odd size of shape, we box it up into a variety boxes and we deliver to our customers once a week. We hire people that were living in homeless shelters they were really looking to get a chance in life. In January 2020, Lutz appeared on the American business pet ition television show Shark Tank. It connects investors with entrepreneurs. Lutz sought a $50,000 investment in Hungry Harvest, in exchange for a five percent stake in his pany. He got even more than he expected: $100,000 for 10 percent ownership. 21. The purpose of writing paragraph 1 is to ________.

It looks simple enough that almost anyone could use it to fly around. The flying machine is built like a backpack. It looks similar to the bags people use to carry anything from food to books on their back. The device is powered by two jet engines. The engines can operate on either airplane fuel or automobile fuel. It can fly for periods up to 10 minutes. It can reach 100 kilometers per hour and fly up to 3,000 meters in the air. The pany says its personal flight vehicle has performed more than 400 test flights with no major problems. It says the jetpacks are still being developed and improved. The pany recently launched a crowdfunding campaign online with a $1 million goal to raise money for more research and testing. JetPack Aviation39。s chief executive officer, David Mayman, says, “In the past, he adds, sensors used in the equipment could cost up to $100,000. Now it costs less than one dollar.” Lower costs and improvements in turbine technology have made it possible for the pany to develop several other devices besides it. Another version of the jetpack, the JB11, will be even more powerful. Mayman predicts this model will be used by first responders or the military during search and rescue operations. The public demonstration of the JB10 clearly showed the jetpack giving its passenger a smooth takeoff and landing. The equipment also appeared easy to operate and the device provided a stable test flight. But the chance to own this flyer es at a very high price. The JB10 device is currently listed at $250,000. 24. The pany collected money to _________. A. produce the devices in mass B. purchase new equipment to produce it C. develop the device further D. give some devices to charity 【 解析 】 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第三句 “ The pany recently launched a crowdfunding campaign online with a $1 million goal to raise money for more research and testing.”可知，公司眾籌是為了進(jìn)一步的研究和測(cè)試。由此可推知，公司為了進(jìn)一步開(kāi)發(fā)、改進(jìn)這種裝置集資，故選 C。 【 答案 】
