Girls can’t wear tank tops (吊带背心), tight (紧身的) pants if they’re not under dresses or skirts. The schools think these clothes affect (影响) men teachers and students. If someone breaks this rule, she has to go home and change clothes. But many students think this rule is unfair (不公平的). At the Walsh Jesuit High School, Ohio, girls can’t wear tight pants. Zheng Yishi doesn’t like this rule. “We have to spend at least 10 minutes changing clothes for a P.E. class,” she said. Many girls agree with her. Some students are trying to change this. A group of students at Indian Trail High School fought against the rule. After a year of hard work, their school agreed to change the rule starting this fall. 1. When can girls wear tank tops, tight pants? 2. If a girl breaks the rule, what must she do? 3. Why don’t girls like this rule? 4. Do you like school uniforms? Why or why not? (Write 30 words or more) 答案与解析 1. 答案：Girls can wear tank tops and tight pants when they are under dresses or skirts. 解析：根据原文第二段第一句“Girls can’t wear tank tops...if they’re not under dresses or skirts.”可知，只有在搭配连衣裙或裙子时，女生才能穿吊带背心和紧身裤。 2. 答案：She has to go home and change clothes. 解析：原文第二段最后一句明确说明，违反该规则的女生必须回家换衣服，直接提取该句即可作答。 3. 答案：Because they think the rule is unfair, and they have to spend time changing clothes (e.g., for P.E. class). 解析：第三段提到学生认为规则不公平，且郑一诗举例说明上体育课要花至少十分钟换衣服，这两点是女生反感该规则的原因。 4. 参考范文：I like school uniforms to some extent. On one hand, they save time as we don’t need to choose clothes every morning and make all students equal, no matter their family backgrounds. On the other hand, they lack personal style, so I hope schools can let us add small decorations to uniforms.（35 words） 解析：开放性问题需表明态度并给出理由，可从“节省时间、体现平等”等支持角度，或“缺乏个性”等反对角度作答，注意满足30词及以上的要求。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
