Question

【題目】 Hairstyle is thought to be a personal style choice.

However, some Chinese students are required by their school to have unified (統(tǒng)—的) haircuts, with short hair for male students and shoulder-length hair for female students. Some students don't like such hairstyles and have broken the rules in school.

A complaint letter by a middle school student in Fuzhou, Fujian province as well as the response of the local education bureau (教育局) to the letter has caught public attention. The letter has sparked (引發(fā)) public discussion on whether schools should control how students wear their hair.

In the letter, which was published recently on Fuzhou's 12345 website, the student wrote, “I think the so-called 'good purposes' of the school are wrong and I highly question whether this kind requirement really helps students to develop good habits and show good appearances," the student said.

The school told students that it is easy for teenage male students to pay more attention to beautiful female students, so the school wants girls to have simple appearances and develop their talents, the letter said.

"I think these words are a complete lie. How can you expect someone to have a colourful future if he or she does not know how to look attractive? Why does the school need to make all the teenage boys pay no attention to girls? Doesn't the school need more sexual (性別的) education?

"Teenagers should be colourful and different. Isn't it boring when people look back on their teenage years and can only remember ugly haircuts and same uniforms? Why can't the school give students a choice to be themselves? "

The Fuzhou education bureau wrote back to the student and said it proves that the writer is a good student with his own thoughts, courage and truth-seeking spirit. The schools ask students to have unified haircuts and wear uniforms because it is easy for teenagers to pay much attention to their appearances and little attention to their studies, the bureau said. Collectivism (集體主義) is very important for the country's development. Although the city has required students to have unified haircuts, schools can set different hairstyle standards that allow students to show their personal styles.

【解析】

本文是一篇議論文。文章就福州市一名中學(xué)生的投訴信以及當(dāng)?shù)亟逃�局�?duì)這封信的回應(yīng)展開，圍繞學(xué)校是否應(yīng)該決定學(xué)生的發(fā)型進(jìn)行了討論。作者認(rèn)為學(xué)校有規(guī)定，但應(yīng)該制定不同的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，讓學(xué)生們能夠展示個(gè)性。

【1】

根據(jù)第四段中“I think the so-called 'good purposes' of the school are wrong and I highly question whether this kind requirement really helps students to develop good habits and show good appearances.”可知學(xué)生認(rèn)為學(xué)校所謂的“好目的”是錯(cuò)誤的，并且質(zhì)疑學(xué)校的這種做法，所以可以看出學(xué)校的做法與學(xué)生的想法相違背，所以這里用形容詞“相反的”，故填opposite。

【2】

根據(jù)第四段中“I highly question whether this kind requirement really helps students to develop good habits and show good appearances.”可知學(xué)生強(qiáng)烈質(zhì)疑學(xué)校的這種要求是否真的有助于學(xué)生養(yǎng)成良好的習(xí)慣，樹立良好的形象，所以學(xué)生對(duì)此很無奈，也覺得學(xué)校的做法不對(duì)。分析句子可知，這里缺少一個(gè)形容詞，所以這里可以用“無奈的”helpless或者“錯(cuò)誤的”wrong，故填helpless/wrong。

【3】

根據(jù)第六段中“I think these words are a complete lie…Why does the school need to make all the teenage boys pay no attention to girls? Doesn't the school need more sexual (性別的) education?”可知學(xué)生認(rèn)為學(xué)校的解釋都是謊言，學(xué)生的個(gè)人風(fēng)格和性教育都沒有受到重視；結(jié)合語境可知，這里表示前一句話中的否定內(nèi)容也同樣適用于后一句，用“neither/nor +be動(dòng)詞/助動(dòng)詞/情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+主語”的句型，故填neither/nor。

【4】

根據(jù)最后一段第一句話“The Fuzhou education bureau wrote back to the student and said it proves that the writer is a good student with his own thoughts, courage and truth-seeking spirit.”可知福州市教育局在回信中說這是一個(gè)有思想、有勇氣、有求真精神的好學(xué)生，這其實(shí)是表揚(yáng)了這位中學(xué)生；結(jié)合語境可知這里用動(dòng)詞“表揚(yáng)”praise，本句的時(shí)態(tài)是一般過去時(shí)，所以praise用其過去式的形式，故填praised。

【5】

根據(jù)最后一句“Although the city has required students to have unified haircuts, schools can set different hairstyle standards that allow students to show their personal styles.”可知盡管學(xué)校要求學(xué)生統(tǒng)一發(fā)型，但學(xué)�？梢灾贫ú煌�的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，讓學(xué)生展示個(gè)人風(fēng)格。結(jié)合語境分析可知，這里用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)語態(tài)表示學(xué)校的規(guī)則可以被改變，用changed或者需要被改善improved，故填changed/improved。
