Question

【题目】In some countries，open campus (校园) is widely accepted. For example, French students have a two-hour lunch break from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. During their lunch break, they can eat at home or at a restaurant. But students in the Philippines have a tougher schedule. They have only two 15-minute breaks and an hour for lunch.

What Schedule would be best for American schools?

Having breaks between classes is great, but having breaks off campus is even better. There are several advantages to open campus, including simple conveniences such as being able to eat different meals during lunchtime, rather than having the cafeteria (自助食堂) dishes, as well as having the chance to take a break at home.

However, there are more reasons I disagree with allowing high school students the right to have an open campus. Sure, it’s great being able to escape school during the day for a while, but soon enough that may easily become the rest of the day.

If open campus is allowed, it is very possible that such freedom will make it all too easy for students to skip their afternoon classes. Of course, there will be students responsible enough to come back to school.

But unexpected problems such as heavy traffic, city bus delays (延迟) or cars breaking down may prevent them from returning to school. It benefits the students to stay in school during lunch hours to avoid transportation issues.

Depending on how close the school is to restaurants and students’ homes, open campus could be a great idea. Unfortunately, though, most public schools in America are not located close enough to restaurants or students’ homes, thus causing the negative results to outweigh (超过) the positives in the end.

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于议论文，文章介绍了法国和菲律宾都给学生提供了较多的午休时间，讨论了在美国开放校园的好处及缺点。

【1】C 细节理解题。根据第二段后两句But students in the Philippines have a tougher schedule. They have only two 15-minute breaks and an hour for lunch.可知菲律宾的学生中午休息的时间更短，只有1小时15分钟。而法国学生有两个小时，说明菲律宾的学生的自由时间更少。故C项正确。

【2】B 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句Sure, it’s great being able to escape school during the day for a while, but soon enough that may easily become the rest of the day.和第五段第一句If open campus is allowed, it is very possible that such freedom will make it all too easy for students to skip their afternoon classes.可知一旦开放校园以后，很多学生下午可能就会逃课，不在来学校上课了。故B正确。

【3】D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句Unfortunately, though, most public schools in America are not located close enough to restaurants or students’ homes, thus causing the negative results to outweigh (超过) the positives in the end.可知很多美国学生的家里学校都比较远。故D项正确。

【4】C 主旨大意题。本文属于议论文，在文章第一段中提出法国学生午休时间为2小时，菲律宾学生午休75分钟。接着作者提出美国是否要开放校园，分析了开放校园的优势以及缺点。故C项正确。
