外研版高二上期末英语试卷1(附答案及详细解析)
外研版高二（上）期末英语试卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分25.0分）第一节（共3小题；每小题2.5分，满分25.0分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．1．（7.5分）I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines （疫苗） cause brain damage，and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society． The only shot I received was for tetanus （破伤风） when I was two months old． After that， nothing．At the beginning of each school year， I was very nervous． Delayed term paper？ Mischievous （捣蛋的） behavior？ Late for school？ None of them． I'd be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster's office． The school doctor would tell me I hadn't received any of the necessary shots to attend school． But the same thing occurred each time： my mom would free me from the shots and nothing would happen． After doing a lot of research， I found although people who don't vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group， they can cause major consequences． People who， for health or age reasons，cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease．Eventually， I turned 18． In Ohio， where I live， I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots． A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit． Last November， I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor． After my post received more than 1，000 comments， I made an appointment with my family physician． Despite how strongly my mother felt， I went through with it anyway．I did something every person should do． It wasn't special in any way． Vaccines protect the health andsafety of not only yourself but also other people． Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don't get vaccinated． This was the biggest reason I got vaccines despite the opposition．（1）Why was the author called to the headmaster's office at the beginning of each school year？A． He was late for school．B． He didn't behave himself at school．C． He couldn't hand in his term paper on time．D． He was hardly ever vaccinated．（2）How might the author's mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician？A． Annoyed．B． Grateful．C． Thrilled．D． Guilty．（3）What does the author mainly want to tell us through his story？A． Listening to your mother pays off．B． Doing the right thing matters．C． Keeping fit is the best policy．D． Asking for advice helps．2．（10分）When did you last buy something？Maybe you are looking forward to a shopping trip at the weekend， but will it make you happy？ In the short term， the answer might be yes． However， some people think it might not be good for our health and happiness in the long term．One of the busiest shopping days of the year in the USA is Black Friday （the fourth Friday of November），which has spread around the world． However， not everyone will be queuing for a bargain． In 1992，Buy Nothing Day started in Canada and now more than sixty countries take part． Their message is simple："Participate by not participating．" For twenty﹣four hours on the fourth Friday of November， people do not buy anything at all． Some people choose to spend time with friends and family instead． Others join protests． But what's the point？Every single purchase that you make has some kind of an effect on the planet． Making the products and transporting them to the shops use a lot of natural resources． When they are no longer in fashion， the products will end up in the dustbin． All this contributes to air and water pollution， the destruction of our environment and social inequality．The social influence of our spending habits is also serious． People in consumerist culture are more likely to suffer from financial problems and stress． In order to buy expensive products， people work long hours and therefore spend less time with family and friends．Critics of Buy Nothing Day say it's meaningless because people will just buy more the following day． But the organizers argue that Buy Nothing Day makes people think about the consequences of consumption and maybe make some changes to their life style．（1）Why is the question "When did you last buy something？" asked？A． To remind us of the approaching of Black Friday．B． To attach importance to our health and happiness．C． To introduce the topic of shopping too much．D． To encourage us to participate in Buy Nothing Day．（2）How can people participate in Buy Nothing Day？A． By not participating in any advertisement for Black Friday．B． By not buying anything on four Fridays of November．C． By spending time shopping with friends and family．D． By not going shopping on Black Friday．（3）What's NOT the point of Buy Nothing Day？A． Saving time spent on working．B． Saving the environment and our earth．C． Saving money for charity．D． Saving our relationship with friends and family．（4）What's the organizers' opinion on Buy Nothing Day？A． It can make a difference in some way．B． It won't have a lasting effect．C． It can help people choose goods more reasonably．D． It can cure people's shopping addiction．3．（7.5分）Of all the places stray （流浪的）cats can live in Beijing，perhaps none provides greater companionship than an underground facility known as the "Cat Shed"． A variety of cats are spread across the shed's 100 square meters． They jump and play on toy towers or rest on cotton blankets on iron﹣framed beds．Since the facility was established in 2012， some 150 cats have lived there． More than 100 volunteers attend to the strays． Many claim that they gain greater benefit from the interaction than the cats， because the animals offer not just companionship， but also a kind of healing．The "housekeeper" is Yin Yi， a doctoral candidate at the Central Iron and Steel Research Institute in Beijing． When the 29﹣year﹣old arrived in the capital in late 2015， he faced huge pressure from his studies and personal relationships， while the alien environment exacerbated his feeling of loneliness． After gaining a master's from a university in Inner Mongolia， Yin relocated to go for a doctorate in material sciences． Accustomed to having friends around， he was not used to a lonely life， especially working by himself and spending up to 10 hours in a lab most days． To improve his mood， he decided to contact animal bases， looking for opportunities to care for stray cats． When he heard that a stray cat basement near his campus was looking for volunteers， he contacted Wu Xinhua， who organizes activities at the Cat Shed， and was soon surrounded by furry friends． His favorite moment is when he dishes out food and a dozen strays gather round， with several rubbing against his feet． When he graduates， Yinplans to house three strays in his apartment．（1）What does the underlined word "exacerbated" in Paragraph 3 mean？A． WorsenedB． ImprovedC． ReplacedD． Touched（2）What can we learn about the Cat Shed？A． Yin Yi has rented the basement and provided facilities for the Cat Shed．B． The Cat Shed is a relaxing and warm place for volunteers．C． Wu Xinhua raises money to run the Cat Shed．D． The Cat Shed only allows volunteers to adopt cats there．（3）What is the best title for the text？A． Stray cats enjoy themselves at the Cat ShedB． Volunteers make stray cats live a better lifeC． "Stray" youngsters in Beijing need healingD． Furry friends promote stress﹣free lives第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．4．（10分）Eyesight is the sense that you rely upon the most． Since we live in a world that requires your eyes to routinely stare at the small type and images on cell phones， computer screens， and televisions， it is important for you to improve and protect your eyesight．（1）．Eyes are just like any other part of the body．（2）．Similar to other organs， a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in sugar and fatty foods will go a long way in maintaining healthy eyes．（3）．Plan to exercise your eyes when you wake up， before going to bed， or when your eyes are tired． Make sure your hands are clean so that you do not hurt your eyes and your mind is relaxed before starting．Since you use your eyes every waking moment， give them lots of rest and relaxation by taking breaks throughout the day and getting enough sleep every night to fully rest，repair，and recover your vision．（4）． In the short term， it can cause eye strain （疲劳） or dry eyes． In the long term，it can lead to damage to the optic nerve （视觉神经）， which can cause pain and damage your vision． Besides， most jobs nowadays involve some degree of computer usage， meaning almost everyone willbe spending time in front of a computer．（5）．To avoid this， you'll have to properly try to limit your screen time by routinely taking breaks and exercising your eyes．A． They need nutrition to function well．B． Close your eyes when exercising your eyes．C． A lack of sleep will weaken your vision health．D． You can enjoy your vision for the rest of your life．E． Unfortunately， this can result

This technological advancement has brought both benefits and challenges to our society.In the past, communication was limited to letters, phone calls, and face-to-face meetings. Now, with email, social media, and instant messaging, we can communicate instantly with anyone, regardless of their location. This has greatly increased efficiency and convenience in our daily lives. However, it has also led to a decline in face-to-face interactions and a decrease in written communication skills.Information accessibility has also been greatly enhanced by the Internet. Libraries, once the go-to source for research, are now just one of many options. With a simple online search, we can find articles, books, and other resources in seconds. This has made education and self-learning more accessible to a wider audience. On the other hand, it has raised concerns about the reliability and accuracy of online information.Online shopping has become increasingly popular, offering convenience and a wide variety of choices. Customers can compare prices, read reviews, and even have products delivered to their doorstep. This has changed the retail landscape and forced traditional brick-and-mortar stores to adapt. However, there are concerns about the environmental impact of online shopping and the potential for fraud.1、What is the main topic of the passage?A. The advantages of the InternetB.

Once on the other side, you'll explore the neighborhood known as Dumbo.The Superhero Walking Tour of NYCWhether you're a fan of Batman, Spiderman or the Fantastic Four, discover the inspiration behind those comics with stops at the Empire State Building, a popular location in countless superhero adventures; the Flatiron Building, which served as Peter Parker's workplace the Daily Bugle; and the Chrysler Building, where Spider-man would frequent to look out for the bad guys.Small Group Photography Walking Tour of NYCDuring this group tour, a professional photography instructor will take you to a unique destination of your choosing—options include Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge and Times Square at night—and provide hands-on instructions on how to best capture lasting memories of your trip.Chinatown Food Tour and Historic Downtown Walking TourIt's a tour of exploration of New York's diverse culture.

Friends don't always smile back at you when you smile at them, and strangers sometimes have upset looks on their faces. The question is: How do you interpret these situations? Do you take everything personally or do you consider that it's more likely that your friend was just having a bad day but wanted to play it cool, and that the stranger on the street was angry about something and didn't even notice you were there?While most people tend to overcome socially ambiguous situations with relative case regulating their emotions and acknowledging that social ambiguity is an unavoidable part of social life—some people tend to see themselves as victims. Rahav Gabay and her colleagues define this tendency for interpersonal victimhood as "an ongoing feeling that the self is a victim. As a result, victimization becomes a central part of the individual's identity." Those who have a constant victimhood believe that one's life is entirely under the control of forces outside one's self, such as fate, luck or the mercy of other people.C.Victimhood is not necessarily a result of feeling hurt.D.Victimhood results from poor interpersonal relationship.A.Employed.B.Wasted.C.Shortened.D.Postponed.（4）What can be the best title for the text?A.Japan tests its flying car successfullyB.Flying cars finally come to life in JapanC.Japan has developed driverless flying carsD.Cars for the future roads are appearing in JapanC.The approaches to stimulate creative thinking.D.The relationship between boredom and creativity.（3）The underlined word "altruistic" in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.A.activeB.generousC.creativeD.confident（4）Which of the following statements best summarizes the writer's opinion?A.Stay busy, stay creative.B.Keep away from boredom.C.When you feel bored, be bored.D.Less boredom is more creativity.三、书面表达（本题共计 1 小题，共计25分）6. （25分）假定你是李华，你校美国留学生Michacl得知学生会打算今年寒假期间为贫困地区儿童赠书，他对该活动很感兴趣，发邮件向你询问有关情况。

"If you don't behave, I'll call the police" is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. A new psychological（心理学的）study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore suggests that it is connected with harmful effects when the children become adults.The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they respond adulthood challenges.The first questionnaire asked these young adults to recall if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so on. Some examples of such lies are "If you don't come with me now, I will leave you here by yourself" and "I don't bring money with me today, we can come back another day".The second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents as adults. Lastly, these young adults filled in two other questionnaires that asked them about their psychological problems and tendency（趋势）to behave selfishly and impulsively（冲动地）.Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report lying to their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges.Lead author Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore's School of Social Sciences said, "Parenting by lying can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. When parents tell children that 'honesty is the best policy', but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send negative messages to their children. Parents' dishonesty may finally ________ trust and encourage dishonesty in children.""Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has negative influence on children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of these possible risks and consider other ways to replace lying, such as knowing children's feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to have good behavior, " said lead author Setoh Peipei.But the study has its limitations. Some limitations of the study include depending on what young adults report about their parents' lying. "Future research can explore using many informants（提供信息的人）, such as parents, to report on the same thing, " suggested Setoh.（1）What did the research team do during the study？________A. They turned to 379 Singaporean children.B. They looked for questionnaires on the Internet.C. They collected answers to some sets of questions.D. They asked the young adults parents for information.．（2）What does the underlined word "erode" in Paragraph 5 mean？________A. buildB. enhanceC. destroyD. recover．（3）Which of the following might Setoh Peipei agree with？________A. Parents can sometimes tell harmless lies to their kids.B. Parents had better explain to their kids why they've lied.C. Parents who like lying are more likely to behave selfishly.D. Parents should use positive ways instead of lying during parenting.．（4）What is the main idea of the text？________A. Parents lying to children can influence them negatively.B. Parents lie to children to save themselves some trouble.C. Children's behavior can be affected by their parents.D. Children may lie more if their parents often lie.．4.People have long dreamt of a car that flies through the sky. Japan's SkyDrive has carried out a successful but modest test flight of such a vehicle carrying a person. The vehicle that looked like a motorcycle with propellers（螺旋桨）lifted up to two meters off the ground. It flew in circles in a protected area for four minutes.Tomohiro Fukuzawa heads the SkyDrive effort. "Of the world's more than 100 flying car projects, only a handful have succeeded with a person on board," he said. "I hope many people will want to ride it and feel safe."D.Cars for the future roads are appearing in JapanC.Check on more people.D.Show the effect of dominance.（4）What can be inferred about the study from the text?A.It showed how people became CEOs.B.It used previous research findings.C.It involved some women and children.D.It corrected people's ideas of dominance.三、书面表达（本题共计 1 小题，共计25分）6. （25分）假定你是李华，你的美国网友Smith来信表示对中国传统文化很感兴趣，请你写一封邮件向他介绍一个中华传统节日。

We faced constant comparisons in our physical appearance. People were always comparing our personalities and academic performances as well! These constant comparisons made me decide not to go to the same university as my twin brother.That is not to say we didn’t have good academic experiences in the past or didn’t get along. In eleventh grade, we were placed in the same math experimental class. I recall arriving early to the first class and being a bit disappointed when I saw David already seated at his desk. It is hard to avoid comparisons when we were in the same class. However, we found that we actually worked well together, in our own way. We would argue about the best way to solve a problem and debate its answer. As the year went on, I noticed that our teacher kept moving us closer and closer together. Our argument was actually productive.However, we were two very different candidates. I was very involved in extracurricular(课外的) activities, while David had better test scores than I did. I’m fond of writing while David enjoys playing computer games. I am currently studying English and French at McGill University, while David is studying computer science at Union College.Besides escaping comparisons, there have been other benefits to going to different universities. The first one is that we are forced to talk to each other, as we no longer see each other every day. This is healthier for our relationship. The second, also the more important one, is that after having so many similar experiences together we can have our own experiences separate from one another.Going to a different university has benefited me thus far. It allows for more personal growth, and I’m not attached to the label of being a twin.24．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Why Do People Like to Compare Me with My Twin Brother?B．Why Am I Choosing a Different University with My Twin Brother?C．What Are Some Main Benefits of Being Twin Brothers at School?D．How Can Twin Brothers Get Along Well with Each Other at School?25．What can be inferred about the author?A．He was fed up with people’s comparisons.B．He was glad to hear people’s comparisons.C．He is more handsome than David.D．He was better at academic subjects than David.26．What does the author think of him and David studying in the same math experimental class? A．Boring. B．Harmful.C．Awful. D．Beneficial.27．The author chose to go to a different university in order to .A．avoid seeing DavidB．escape arguing with DavidC．pursue a different experienceD．strengthen bonds with DavidCFor some parents, hitting a child who misbehaves is a common punishment. In fact, they may think that a physical type of punishment is good for children and will teach them to behave in the future.However, a leading group of child health specialists suggest that the opposite is true. These experts say that hitting is not only ineffective, but may even cause longterm harm to the child. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently changed its policy on physical punishment for a child. Released in October, the academy warns that hitting a child may have longterm effects. These effects include “aggression, brain changes, substance abuse and suicidal behavior in adulthood”. The report admits that not every child who is spanked will have these problems later in life. It makes this observation: “Although many children who were spanked become happy, healthy adults, current evidence suggests that hitting is not necessary and may result in longterm harm.”In recent years, many American experts have been advising parents against the use of physical punishment. Many other countries have already banned corporeal(肉体的) punishment. Sweden was the first nation to do so in 1966. Earlier studies have shown that corporeal punishment can alsoaffect a child’s ability to think and learn. In 2012, a Canadian study found that hitting children can cause longterm developmental damage and may even lower a child’s intelligence test scores. The American Academy of Pediatrics also warns against using strong verbal abuse or shame to discipline a child. These types of punishment can also cause longterm problems for a child. Instead, they suggest other types of punishment that are appropriate for the age of the child.For younger children, punishment could be taking away a favorite toy. For older children, a parent can limit the time the child spends watching television or playing with computers or electronic games.28．What can we know according to the experts?A．Spanking a child is not effective but harmful.B．Sweden was the first country to spank a child in 1996.C．The study from Canada found that spanking children can lower children’s grades.D．Many American experts found spanking a child can cause antisocial behavior.29．Which of the following best explains “discipline” underlined in Paragraph 3? A．Protect. B．Control.C．Persuade. D．Punish.30．What does the author intend to say in the last paragraph?A．We should take away younger children’s favorite toys as punishment.B．As for older children，we need to allow them to watch TV or play games.C．Different children should be given different ways to punish.D．It may be ineffective for younger or older children to have punishment.31．What is the text mainly about?A．A physical type of punishment.B．The results of punishment.C．Different countries have different types of punishment.D．How to punish the mischievous children.答案ADCAD“Small enough to fit in your hands but too dangerous to hold” is a good description of the hedgehog.Though small，it is able to protect itself from attack or harm.Thousands of stiff，sharp spines cover the animal’s back and sides.Even though spines provide the hedgehog with effective protection，the animal’s most striking characteristic is its practice of curling up into a tight ball，with its spines sticking out in all directions.The hedgehog curls up if disturbed or frightened—only the strongest animals can open it.It also sleeps in this position，so it is rarely caught unprotected.Hedgehogs can live in a wide range of climates and lands in East Africa.They must have dry shelters on welldrained soil and a good supply of insects.Nairobi，the capital of Kenya in East Africa，meets these habitat conditions，where hedgehogs are reported to be abundant.A hedgehog uses a small home range with an approximate 120yard radius(半径范围) from its nest.The hedgehog makes loud noises if its range is invaded by another animal.The hedgehog wakes up at dusk and begins its activities alone.It uses regular pathways，walking along on its short legs searching for food.A hedgehog will eat about onethird of its body weight in one night.Its favorite foods are insects，earthworms and snails，making it a welcome guest in many gardens—it is even kept as a pet.It is also known to eat eggs，small mammals，birds，frogs，reptiles，and roots.Although not completely immune to poison，hedgehogs have enough resistance to allow them to eat poisonous snakes.32．While facing danger，the hedgehog .A．stands straight upB．makes loud noisesC．goes back to its nestD．uses its spines for protection33．The second paragraph is mainly about hedgehogs’.A．appearance B．habitatC．diet D．hunting skills34．According to Paragraph 3，the hedgehog is .A．active at nightB．afraid of snakesC．keeping away from gardensD．totally immune to poisons35．It can be inferred from the text that .A．there is a lot of rain in NairobiB．hedgehogs are cooperative animalsC．hedgehogs always stay on guard against dangerD．there is an increasing trend towards keeping pet hedgehogs答案DBAC第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It helps us communicate our thoughts, feelings, and ideas to others. But have you ever stopped to consider the power of words themselves? Words can inspire, motivate, and move people. They can also hurt, confuse, or mislead. The impact of words goes beyond just their literal meanings; they carry emotional weight and can shape how weperceive the world around us.In literature, authors often use specific language choices to convey deeper meanings and evoke emotions in their readers. For instance, the choice between using a connotative word versus a denotative one can significantly alter the tone and atmosphere of a piece of writing. Consider the difference between describing a character as ‘nervous’ versus ‘anxious’. Bo th words describe a state of unease, but ‘anxious’ carries a stronger sense of worry and anticipation than ‘nervous’.Moreover, the arrangement of words in a sentence can also affect the reader’s understanding. A well-crafted sentence not only communicates information clearly but also creates rhythm and flow, making the text more engaging. In this way, writers use the power of words to create a connection with their audience, inviting them into the story or argument being presented.1、What is the main idea of the passage?A. Words can only be used to communicate basic information.B. The choice of words has no significant effect on the reader.C. Authors use specific language choices to influence the reader’s emotions and perception.D. Sentences should always be crafted simply to ensure clarity. Answer: C2、Which of the following best describes the relationship between connotative and denotative words according to the passage?A. Connotative words provide a more direct meaning compared to denotative words.B. Denotative words are always more emotionally charged than connotative words.C. There is no difference between connotative and denotative words in terms of emotional impact.D. Connotative words carry emotional implications beyond their dictionary definitions.Answer: D3、How does the author illustrate the importance of sentence structure?A. By stating that sentence structure is irrelevant to the quality of writing.B. By suggesting that sentence structure affects the rhythm and engagement of the text.C. By arguing that complex sentences are preferred over simple ones.D. By claiming that all sentences should follow a strict pattern. Answer: B4、Choose the option that correctly completes the following statement based on the passage: “Authors use the power of words to _____.”A. isolate their audience.B. create a disconnect with their readers.C. form a bond with their audience.D. avoid engaging their readers.Answer: CThis section is designed to test reading comprehension skills including inference, main idea identification, vocabulary in context, and the ability to understand author intent and literary techniques.第四题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.Passage:In the small town of Windmill Hill, there was once a grand old library that had been the heart of the community for over a century.

With just a few clicks, we can connect with people from all over the world, access a vast array of knowledge, and even shop for products without leaving our homes. However, this convenience comes with its own set of challenges. One of the most significant challenges is information overload. The sheer volume of data available on the internet can be overwhelming, making it difficult to sift through and find the information we truly need.One solution to this problem is the concept of digital minimalism. Digitalminimalism is a movement that encourages individuals to simplify their digital lives by reducing the amount of time spent on their devices and focusing on the things that truly matter. Advocates of this approach believe that by limiting our exposure to digital distractions, we can improve our productivity, mental health, and overall well-being.The key principles of digital minimalism include:1.Identifying digital distractions: The first step in adopting digital minimalism is to recognize the digital distractions in our lives. These can be social media, endless scrolling, or even email notifications.2.Setting specific goals: Once the distractions have been identified, it’s important to set clear goals for how you want to use your digital devices. This could involve limiting screen time or deleting apps that are not necessary.3.Creating a digital detox: A digital detox involves taking a break from all digital devices for a set period of time. This can help to reset your focus and reduce the urge to constantly check your devices.4.Embracing analog alternatives: Instead of using digital devices for every task, try to find analog alternatives. For example, use a planner instead of digital calendars, or write letters by hand instead of sending emails.5.Regularly reviewing your digital habits: Digital minimalism is not a one-time change but a continuous process. Regularly reviewing your digital habits and making adjustments as needed is crucial for maintaining a minimalist approach.Questions:1.What is one of the main challenges mentioned in the passage related to the internet?A.

In your letter, explain your reasons for your viewpoint, and suggest one improvement that could be made to the policy.Example:[Your Name][Your Address][City, State, ZIP Code][Email Address][Date]Editor-in-ChiefSchool Newspaper[School Name][School Address][City, State, ZIP Code]Dear Editor-in-Chief,I am writing to express my thoughts on the recent announcement of the new school uniform policy. While I understand the intentions behind this initiative to foster a sense of community and uniformity among students, I have some concerns and suggestions that I believe would enhance the policy.Firstly, I appreciate the effort to create a more inclusive environment by implementing a uniform policy. However, I believe that the current policy is too restrictive and does not take into account the diverse tastes and preferences of students. Many students have expressed their discomfort with the limited color choices and the lack of individual expression allowed in the current uniform design.One improvement that could be made is to offer a wider range of colors and styles within the uniform guidelines. This would allow students to express their personalities while still maintaining the required level of uniformity. Additionally, I suggest introducing a ‘spirit day’ or ‘theme day’ where students can wear their own clothes once a week to celebrate special occasions or school events.Furthermore, I would like to propose that the school administration consider providing financial assistance to families who may struggle to afford the new uniforms. This would ensure that no student is excluded due to financial constraints.。
