63、【语篇解读】对于学生应不应该穿校服上学，一直以来都是个有争议的问题。研究表明，穿校服上学有一定的益处，在学校中仍占主流。36has/will have由于本文讲述校服的情况，所以可以用一般现在时，由于句子主语是nobody，故用第三人称单数has。此外when引导的从句用一般现在时态时，其主句常用一般将来时，故该空也可用will have。37thesame通常与the连用，意为“同样的，相同的”。38that/which由于先行词为a piece of cloth，从句缺少主语，所以填that/which。39cycling根据句中的or为并列连词可知，其前后的形式应保持一致，根据or前的w

64、alking可知，此处填cycling。40easily修饰动词see应用easy的副词形式easily。41to表示“的答案”时，answer后的介词必须用to。42improved根据空前的found可知，此处应用一般过去时，另外，improve用主动语态表示“某事有了提高”，故用improved。43to wearwant to do sth.意为“想要做某事”。44connection/connections根据空前的no和空后的between uniforms and school performance可知，此处应用connect的名词形式。因为no后可接名词的单数形式，也可以接名

65、词的复数形式，故答案为connection/connections。45traditional根据空前的系动词are，可知此处用tradition的形容词形式。.应用文写作(满分15分)假如你是李华，你的朋友Mary写信向你诉苦，她在新的寄宿学校没有好朋友，且遭到同学的误解，没有可以谈心的伙伴，心情低落。请用英文给Mary写一封80词左右的建议信。文章的开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数。内容要点如下：1表示理解并给予安慰；2提出建议并说明理由。Dear Mary， Yours，Li Hua参考范文Dear Mary，Im sorry to know that youre in trouble
