Question

【题目】 School uniforms（制服）are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise，because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling （标记）that come from clothing. If all students are d【1】 in the same way，they will not pay too much attention to their clothing，and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.

Some people are a【2】 the strict rule of school uniforms，but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers（障碍）; school uniforms tear those barriers down.

As in other places，uniforms remind the w【3】 of their purposes and duties. For example，when a man or woman p【4】 on a police uniform，he or she becomes，for a time，the symbol（象征）of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to e【5】 the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students，the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.

Some parents are unhappy about uniforms，saying that school uniforms will affect their c【6】“creativity”. First，as noted above，the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality （个性）. They just copy their classmates. Second，students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school，their j【7】 is to master reading，writing，and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.

【解析】

本篇分析学生穿校服的好处——他们立即结束了来自穿着的强大的社会分类和标签；提醒学生应该在校接受教育；同时也反驳那些持反对意见的家长，认为学生所有的创造力应该体现在阅读、写作和数学方面 。

【1】句意：如果所有的学生都穿同样的衣服，他们不会太注意自己的衣服，他们中的一些人不会因为穿错了衣服而被嘲笑。

根据下文“they will not pay too much attention to their clothing，”——他们不会太注意自己的衣服；推断空格指“穿着同样的衣服”；dress根据首字母提示，意为“穿”，be dressed in …意为“穿着……”；故填dressed 。

【2】句意：有些人反对校服的严格规定，但是他们没有意识到学生已经接受了一种规则——想看起来像他们的朋友。

下文“but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule”—— 根据but的句意转折，推断上文空格指“反对穿校服”；根据首字母提示，against意为“反对”，故填 against。

【3】句意：和其他地方一样，制服提醒穿着者他们的目的和职责。

空格在定冠词后面，判断填名词；由下文“For example，when a man or woman puts on a police uniform，he or she becomes，for a time，the symbol（象征）of law and order.”——以警服为例说明穿制服者的责任；推断空格指“穿着者”；根据首字母提示，wearer意为“穿着者”，根据空格后their提示，空格用复数形式，故填wearers。

【4】句意：当一个男人或女人穿上警服，他或她一时成为法律和秩序的象征。

由上文可知制服提醒穿着者他们的目的和职责；推断空格指“穿上警服”就是法律和秩序的象征；根据首字母提示，put on意为“穿上”，主语a man or woman是单数形式， 故填 puts 。

【5】句意：制服对穿着者意味着他或她的特殊职责，同样向穿着者遇到的每个人发送相同的消息。

根据常识，人们可以根据不同的制服辨别不同的职业；由此推断，空格意为“穿着者向人们发送相同的消息”；根据首字母提示，everyone 意为“每个人、所有人”；故填everyone 。

【6】句意：有些家长对校服不满意，说校服会影响孩子的“创造力”。

根据上文“Some parents are unhappy about uniforms”——可知家长对穿校服不满，根据文字表达的逻辑关系，推断指家长对他们的孩子们穿校服不满，觉得校服影响孩子们的创造力； 根据首字母提示，. children 意为“孩子们”，空格在名词前，判断填名词所有格；故填children’s 。

【7】句意：当他们在学校时，他们的工作是掌握阅读、写作和数学。

空格在物主代词后面，判断填名词；根据常识，掌握阅读、写作和数学是学生在校的工作；推断空格意为“工作”；根据首字母提示，job意为“工作”；谓语is是单数形式，判断主语也用单数形式；故填job。

根据首字母提示完成短文，解答前要先跳空阅读全文，猜测大意；再根据上下文联系猜测空格所缺的信息；最后根据首字母提示确定单词。本篇的题4要注意动词的单三形式；题5要根据常识和首字母提示推断词义；完篇后阅读全文，检查所填的单词的拼写、时态和词义是否符合文章的意思。
