新素材·教育新政 In February 2025, China introduced a nationwide policy to give high school students two full days off every weekend. This change aims to reduce the heavy study pressure that students have faced for years. Before the policy, many students in provinces like Hebei only had one day or even half a day to rest each week. Now, schools are required to cancel all weekend classes and exams, allowing students to relax or explore personal interests.
According to the new rules, teachers cannot give extra(额外的) homework during weekends, but schools must keep libraries and sports fields open for students who wish to study or exercise voluntarily. In cities like Changsha and Hangzhou, some schools have even started organizing weekend activities such as science clubs, art workshops, and community service programmes.
Most students welcome the policy. “I finally have time to play basketball and read novels,” said Li Ming, a 16-year-old student. “I feel less tired and more focused during weekdays.” Studies also show that students who get enough rest perform better in exams. For example, a high school in Zhejiang reported a 15% improvement in average test scores after carrying out the policy.
However, some parents still worry. “Weekends used to be important for reviewing lessons. I'm afraid my child will fall behind,” said a parent. Rural(农村的) areas face bigger challenges. In villages where educational resources are limited, students have fewer chances to take part in after-school activities. To solve this, the government has created free online learning platforms and encouraged urban(城市的) schools to share resources with rural ones.
Many teachers believe this policy marks a turning point in China's education. It brings both benefits and challenges to students. They suggest that .
1. How long did high school students in Hebei rest each week before the policy?

3. What benefits can the policy bring to students?

4. Why has the government created free online learning platforms?

5. What can be put in “” in the last paragraph?

训练4 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国在2025年2月推出的一项全国性政策，规定高中生享有周末双休，旨在减轻学生长期以来的学习压力。
1. One day or even half a day. 根据第一段“Before the policy, many students in provinces like Hebei only had one day or even half a day to rest each week.”可知在政策实施前，河北学生每周仅能休息一天甚至半天。
2. Libraries and sports fields. 根据第二段“schools must keep libraries and sports fields open for students who wish to study or exercise voluntarily”可知学校必须为想在周末自愿学习或锻炼的学生开放图书馆和运动场。
3. Students have time to do things they like, feel less tired and more focused during weekdays, and perform better in exams. 根据第三段“I finally have time to play basketball and read novels” “I feel less tired and more focused during weekdays.”和“Studies also show that students who get enough rest perform better in exams.”可知学生有时间做自己喜欢的事情，不再那么累从而在工作日状态更好，得到充足休息的学生在考试中表现更好。
4. Because rural students have fewer chances to take part in after-school activities. 根据第四段“In villages where educational resources are limited, students have fewer chances to take part in after-school activities.”可知在教育资源有限的村庄，学生参加课外活动的机会较少，为了解决这个问题，政府创建了免费的在线学习平台。
5. schools, parents and the government should work together to help students make the most of the extra free time(答案不唯一，言之有理即可)
