(2025 镇江句容期末)Primary and middle schools in many cities have extended class breaks from 10 to 15 minutes. Why did they do this? The schools hope that both students and teachers can spend more time doing outdoor activities during breaks.
Before this change, most students only had 10 minutes between classes. If a class was on the third floor or above, students often found it hard to go outside. Think about it: going down stairs and up again takes a few minutes. By the time they got to the playground, there were only a few minutes left! So many students just stayed in the classroom or walked in the hallway. Now with 15 minutes, they can run to the playground, jump rope, or play games with friends. This change helps students meet the goal of doing at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. Cities like Beijing, Wuxi, and Zhenjiang have all started this 15-minute break.
Most people think having longer class breaks is helpful. "My child comes home more happily," said a parent. "She can play outside and relax her eyes." Teachers also notice good changes. "Students are more focused in class after a longer break," said Mr Li, a maths teacher. "And when they play outdoors together, they learn to work as a team—like in basketball or tag games." For students, it is good for their health because they can have more time to relax. Both parents and teachers also agree with 15-minute breaks. Longer class breaks can help make students' social skills better in activities.
1. What did most students usually do during 10-minute class breaks?
2. Which cities have 15-minute breaks now according to the passage?
3. Why couldn't students on higher floors do outdoor activities before?
4. What do many people think of a 15-minute break?
5. Do you like longer class breaks? Why or why not?

解析
【分析】
这是一篇围绕“延长课间休息时间”展开的阅读理解题，以细节理解题为主，搭配一道开放性题目。解题思路如下：
1. 先通读全文，把握核心内容：文章介绍了多地中小学将课间从10分钟延长至15分钟的原因、带来的改变以及大众的看法。
2. 针对细节题，提取题目中的关键信息（如“10-minute class breaks”“cities”“higher floors”等），回到原文对应段落定位句子，筛选出符合题意的答案。
3. 开放性题目（第5题），结合文中提到的延长课间的好处（如放松身心、锻炼身体、提升社交能力等），给出合理的个人观点及支撑理由即可。
【解析】
1. 定位到文章第二段“So many students just stayed in the classroom or walked in the hallway.”，该句直接点明10分钟课间大多数学生的活动，提取此内容作为答案。
2. 根据第二段末尾“Cities like Beijing, Wuxi, and Zhenjiang have all started this 15-minute break.”，可直接找到实施15分钟课间的城市名称。
3. 从第二段内容可知，高层学生课间仅有10分钟，上下楼梯会花费不少时间，到达操场后几乎没有活动时间，对应原文“Before this change, most students only had 10 minutes between classes. If a class was on the third floor or above, students often found it hard to go outside. Think about it: going down stairs and up again takes a few minutes.”，因此原因可总结为10分钟休息时间太短，或是上下楼梯耗时较多。
4. 第三段开头明确表述“Most people think having longer class breaks is helpful.”，直接提取该观点作为答案。
5. 这是开放性问题，结合文中延长课间的益处（如放松、锻炼、提升社交能力等）给出观点即可，示例答案选择肯定态度，理由为可以放松和锻炼。
