Just look for restaurants that hire people with disabilities, which are making the world a more inclusive place. Each bakery, café, and restaurant below has a wonderful and heartwarming story.‎ Hugs Care: McKinney, Texas Ruth Thompson once had a vision to create a nonprofit caféthat would be run and operated primarily by adults with special needs．With hard work，a strong passion and an amazing team， Hugs Café opened its doors in 2015 ．“Hugs Café is now so much more than a job to our 23 teammates， which is enhancing the meaningful lives of adults with special needs through training and employment at Hugs Café.” Thompson says．‎ Vinny＆Bay’s Coffee and Eatery: Panama City, Florida ‎“A lot of people plan their vacations around coming to this coffee shop,” says café owner Kara Rigby. Vinny ＆ Bay’s Coffee and Eatery was established “so that Baylee had a place to work,” Rigby adds．Baylee is Rigby’s daughter’s friend who has a disability. The coffee shop’s goal become training for individuals like Baylee．Some workers have even started at Vinny ＆ Bay’s and were able to work in a regular workplace. Rigby says that her employees “have a whole lot more abilities than disabilities. They love unconditionally, and it changes the whole environment and business.” Rigby believes that incorporating even just one or two disabled individuals into a business can change the whole atmosphere—for the better!‎ Sugar Pl um Bakery: Virginia Beach, Virginia Head to Sugar Plum Bakery to find a delicious carrot cake and see people with disabilities successfully working alongside non—disabled workers. Sugar Plum has been promoting the integration of adults with developmental disabilities by providing training and employment opportunities to more than 1,000 people with disabilities since 1987. Whether they’re scooping cookies or making cupcakes, Sugar Plum’s disabled employees are the backbone of the bakery. 1．What do the three restaurants have in common?‎ A. They are established by adults with special needs.‎ B. They are supported by charities or local government.‎ C.

The employers and employees there are all individuals with disabilities. 2．It can be known from the passage that .‎ A．Hugs Caféset up in 1987 now has 23 teammates B．Rigby founded her coffee shop to help Baylee, her daughter C．Disabled individuals are not able to work in a regular workplace D．Sugar Plum Bakery hires both normal people and people with disabilities 3．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggest?‎ A．Disabled workers there are the most important part. B．The bakery get s support and strength from backbone.‎ C．The customers are always backing the disabled workers.‎ D．The employees have a whole lot more abilities than disabilities.‎ B Does Fame Drive You Crazy?‎ Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.‎ According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”‎ The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.‎ Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.‎ If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.‎ Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.‎ 4. It can be learned from the passage that stars today .‎ A. are often misunderstood by the public B. can no longer have their privacy protected C. spend too much on their public appearance D. care little about how they have come into fame 5. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.‎ B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.‎ C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.‎ 兰州一中高二年级期末英语试卷第 2 页，共 7 页 A. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.‎ 5. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?‎ A. Availability of modern media. B. Inadequate social recognition.‎ C. Lack of favorable chances. D. Huge population of fans.‎ 6. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?‎ A. Sincere. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.‎ C Have you ever noticed that after about 6 months your perfectly new 1,000 dollar smartphone begins to slow down? What if I told you that it’s a sales strategy that pretty much all phone companies use to force people into buying new phones?‎ In late 2015，when Lisa Young was in charge of iOS security and beta software testing teams, her boss revealed a dark secret to her, saying that they were using a new strategy that would purposely slow down older phones every time the phone would upgrade to the latest operating system. This new method would force customers to buy the latest phone model, increasing sales by 70％.‎ She was a little disturbed to hear the news，but she just kept her head down and continued to do her job. After a while, the guilt of being involved with such a shady sales model started to weigh heavy on her. “How could a multi-billion dollar corporation continue to take advantage of the public like this?” she thought. In March of 2017, she contacted a reporter from CNN to finally leak the information concerning Apple slowing down phones.‎ The scandal ( 丑 闻 ) went viral overnight，and every media outlet in the world, in every language was talking about it, making it one of the biggest controversies in consumer electronics history. A week later, she was secretly let go after her 8 years of service. Although she was taking a huge risk going against one of the most powerful corporations in the world, she felt a sense of relief exposing them. The public deserved to know and the fear became her motivation to find a way to destroy their shady sales model.‎ Several of her colleagues were fired with her. They quietly united，and after a year of extensive research they designed a unique product called CircaCharge that would reverse the negative effects of “software updates”. Phone companies have recently caught wind of their overnight success with CircaCharge and are trying to do everything they can to make this product illegal and ban it forever. Lisa and her team have ma de unbelievable progress in increasing battery life, battery health, and optimizing phone performance, and they will continue to develop new technology that will beat phone companies at their own game until they change their ways.‎ 7. What can we learn about the new method mentioned in paragraph 2 ? A．It is essential in the 1atest operating system．‎ B. It benefits users in upgrading their old phone．‎ C. It fool s customers into buying the latest model on purpose．‎ D. It is a successful sales strategy for advertising new soft wares．‎ 8. What does the underlined phrase “kept her head down” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Lowered her head．‎ B．Nodded to show approval． C．Pretended to know something． D．Tried not to show she knows something．‎ 9. From the passage，we know ． ‎ A．it's too tough for Lisa and her team to increase battery life B．CircaCharge helps phone companies with software updates C.L isa struggles to force phone companies to change their current ways D．phone companies find it essential to ban their illegal software for updating 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Recently, a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed. 11‎ In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially since the increasing trend for celebrities to give their children unusual names. 12 The only restrictions on parents relate to offensive words such as swear words (脏话).‎ Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. For example, there have been six boys named Gandalf after the character in the Lord of the Rings novels and films. 13 Since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team.‎ ‎ 14 Jordan, the British model, recently invented the name Tiáamii for her daughter by combining the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers).‎ Other countries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose. In China, there are some rules about what you may call a child – no foreign letters or symbols are allowed. 15‎ In Britain, some names which were previously thought of as old-fashioned have become more popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, or Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the strange ones. The top names are fairly traditional – Jack, Charlie and Thomas for boys and Grace, Ruby and Jessica for girls.‎ A. The parents finally came up with a plan.‎ B. They decided to call him Superman instead.‎ C. Names related to sport are also fairly common.‎ D. Other parents like to make up or combine names.‎ E. You can call a child almost anything you like in Britain.‎ F. A couple were recently banned from calling their baby @.‎ G. Parents there are to blame for naming their child an unusual name.‎ 第二部分 完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和 D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night，when fear seized me.
