上海市松江区2020届高三英语二模拟试卷(含听力音频)

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

    Now, it may seem strange to learn from someone who writes about pretty dresses every day, but: you don't have to be pretty and you don't have to spare no effort to be pretty just to please others. You don't have to feel bothered for your plain looking that makes you unnoticed. After all, every one of us, whether charming or not, is a drop in the ocean and you don't owe prettiness to anyone.

    Admittedly, I'm not saying that you shouldn't be pretty if you want to. Being pretty is pleasant, fun, refreshing and satisfying. making people feel delighted and smile at you unconsciously. But in terms of importance, prettiness stands several steps down from happiness, is way below health, and if done as an obligation, can be far away from independence.

    But what does you-don't-have-to-be-pretty mean in everyday terms? It means you don't have to blame your parents for not giving you the world-desired appearance and that you don't have to apologize for wearing things that arc held to be "unflattering" or "unfashionable"-especially if, in fact, they make you happy on some level deeper than just being pretty does. As long as you are clean, covered enough, and have bandaged any open wounds. you can wear any color or style you please, holding your heads high.  if it makes you happy.

    Prettiness, it's sad to say, can have a shelf life. It's so tied up with youth that, at some point (if you're lucky), you're going to have to graduate from prettiness, sometimes before you know it. But you won't even get there if you think you have to follow all the signs that say "this way to prettiness". You get there by travelling the route you find most interesting.

举一反三
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

    In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one. The problem is that countries around the world have growing mountains of rubbish because people are throwing out more rubbish than ever before.

    How do the society become a throwaway one? First of all, it is now easier to replace an object than to spend time and money repairing it. Thanks to modern manufacturing (制造业) and technology, companies are able to produce products quickly and inexpensively. Products are plentiful and cheap.

    Another cause is our love of disposable (一次性的) products. As busy people, we are always looking for ways to save time and make our lives easier. Companies produce thousands of different kinds of disposable products: paper plates, plastic cups, and cameras, to name a few.

    Our appetite for new products also contributes to the problem. We are addicted to buying new things. Advertisements persuade us that newer is better and that we will be happier with the latest products. The result is that we throw away useful possessions to make room for new ones.

    All around the world, we can see the consequences of this throwaway lifestyle. Mountains of rubbish just keep getting bigger. To decrease the amount of rubbish and to protect the environment, more governments are requiring people to recycle materials. However, this is not enough to solve our problem.

    Maybe there is another way out. We need to repair our possessions instead of throwing them away. We also need to rethink our attitudes towards spending. Repairing our possessions and changing our spending habits may be the best way to reduce the amount of rubbish and take care of our environment.
