Chapter 231 The Last Day
Yang Rui spent 40 minutes to finish the English paper and another 20 minutes to check. For the rest of the time, he carefully studied the grammar involved in it.
If you want to talk about difficulty, English in 1983 is really unreasonable. The 2,000-word test paper is difficult and difficult. By 1988, there were 2,909 words in English test papers, 3,011 in 1998, and 3,530 in 1920. Only such data can be said to be a little difficult.
After all, a 5-year-old American child can have a vocabulary of 2,500 words, and basically all active vocabulary. 2,000 words and mostly passive vocabulary English test papers, so it is impossible to increase the overall difficulty.
However, the overall difficulty is not easy to increase, and strange questions are always indispensable.
No one can underestimate the English test in China, especially in the early 1980s. It is difficult for him to write full marks if he finds a purebred British person to answer the questions.
Yang Rui wanted a perfect score.
I have been trained by Jing Yulan for so long, but if I don’t get a full mark, it will be hard to say hello to others.
This is the self-esteem of a top student, and Yang Rui decided to use the remaining hour of the exam to maintain it.
As a result, he really found two small questions, both of which were filled with the blankets.
The cloze blanks are newly added in the college entrance examination questions in 1983, and they have been used continuously since then, but this type of question is really devastating to students. If we look at it from the perspective of future generations, when you use English, the sentence patterns are complete and incomplete, beautiful or not, and whether there are any mistakes is just a small problem, and being able to communicate with the other party is the primary priority.
However, like the science papers of this era, the English paper always uses nitpicking to open up the candidates' scores.
The inaccuracy of language often makes nitpicking difficult.
For example, the two questions that Yang Rui found were the problems of British English and American English.
If it is a daily exercise, it is okay to use any English, but in the college entrance examination, there is no chance to appeal.
If you use American English grammar, it is not surprising that Yang Rui will be denied because of the British English grammar of the standard answer.
The tension in college entrance examination papers is far greater than Foxconn's assembly line. If such mistakes occur, there is no place to be explained. After all, if there are too many English dialects in the world, there will be an Australian English grammar and a New Zealand English grammar, and the test papers cannot be changed.
Yang Rui obediently changed the answer to the test paper by himself.
If you want to get points from others, you naturally have to follow their answers. As for the question, there is no way to avoid any criticism. In the future, Yang Rui will not be able to understand it.
Dingling!
The ringtone rings at the end of the exam.
Yang Rui suddenly felt a little tired.
It is strange to concentrate on answering questions over and over again without fatigue.
Especially if he wants to get a full score, he will be even more tired.
This is different from when being a tutor. When being a tutor, you must do the lecture or exam papers, but he does not need to pursue perfection. If you are familiar with questions, write the equation and answers directly, that is, you will complete them. If you do unfamiliar questions, you will not check them again. After you finish all the questions, you will check the standard answers and find that there is something wrong. Then go back and mark them. It’s fine to pay attention when giving lectures.
However, Yang Rui cannot come up with a standard answer now. If he wants to avoid "sudden enlightenment", he can only treat the examination as a standard answer. After concentration for a long time, fatigue will inevitably occur.
This is what she is now young. Yang Rui thought to herself, if a middle-aged man goes to the college entrance examination room, he will not talk about his flexibility in his thinking, but his physical strength will not be enough first.
If you are a poor man and take the current college entrance examination, it will be even more difficult. You will be working on the floor, eating pig food, and taking the big exam... After a round, normal people will have to be exhausted.
While thinking, Yang Rui left the examination room, waited for a while in Hongrui's class, and then returned to the guesthouse together.
However, the number of people gathered this time was smaller than the previous exams. Yang Rui asked in anticipation: "Have someone handed the paper back in advance?"
"Yes." Huang Ren glanced at Yang Rui and said, "Several people feel frustrated and have been handing over the paper for dozens of minutes."
"Oh." Yang Rui nodded.
"Aren't you angry?" Huang Ren was a little surprised. Yang Rui had already cursed him.
Yang Rui shrugged and said, "If you really can't answer, it's normal to hand in the paper. Besides, they chose the road themselves, so I can't carry them away."
There have been some discussions on the benefits and disadvantages of early submission of papers, but with the emergence of the policy of not allowing early submission of papers in the college entrance examination, this kind of discussion has no basis. As a result, early submission of papers is not allowed, and there is no real adverse impact on students' psychology.
Therefore, Yang Rui has always opposed the delivery of papers in advance.
But as he knew, the college entrance examination with huge pressure always makes young students develop a rebellious mentality. These are not what Yang Rui can do, or what he is willing to supervise. The college entrance examination itself will give its evaluation with cruel scores.
Walking in the middle of the crowd, Yang Rui didn't talk about this matter much, but instead said: "Today is the second day, it should be the most tiring time. When you return to the guesthouse, you have to take a good rest. If you want to take a shower, be careful not to catch a cold..."
His mother-in-law and mother said a series of precautions, which immediately pulled everyone out of their emotions and unanimously stated that we were enough.
Yang Rui smiled at the right time, went back to the guesthouse to have a meal and take a bath, and then recited politics.
Psychologically, Yang Rui wanted to end his high school career with full marks. However, mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology are easy for him, but it is difficult to get full marks in Chinese and political science.
Chinese is the most difficult, because full-score essays actually have some luck. Even if you attract the attention of the marking teacher in a very creative way and then write a beautiful article, it is still possible that because the creativity does not conform to the other party's thinking pattern, or even just the marking teacher gives a final score of one off of caution.
At the same time, it is not Yang Rui's talent and skill to be able to achieve both creativity and literary talent within the specified time.
Therefore, full score essays in Chinese cannot be guaranteed to be pursued.
In contrast, politics is better. China's political test papers are basically purely objective questions, and the same is true for big questions. They have answers in a frame-based way, just write them up. Since there is no room for performance, there is less uncontrollable risk of deductions.
However, Yang Rui felt it was unnecessary to memorize politics just for pure pursuit of full marks, so he would rather do some temporary cramming like an ordinary student.
He held the Buddha's feet until 10 o'clock in the evening. Yang Rui felt that it was warming up the house, so he went to bed early.
The next day, Yang Rui continued to appear in the examination room in full spirit, completing the political, chemistry and biology exams one by one.
These three are not difficult for him and lack challenges.
Yang Rui didn't care much about how much he could get in the end, and he could only say that he was doing his best. Chemistry and biology are the other extremes. Yang Rui was really familiar with him and could not be more familiar with him. There was too much information in his mind. It was not easy to get a surprise.
Therefore, for Yang Rui, the third day of the college entrance examination, it was calm and the test was more physical strength and patience than intelligence.
However, there are still a few students like him.
On the contrary, students in the 1980s were very afraid of the two courses of chemistry and biology, especially those with poor school conditions. They may have seen a chemistry experiment or biology experiment after two or three years of high school. The conditions are really bad, and they have never seen it once.
According to the standards of later generations, schools with such conditions were not in school conditions and should be combined. However, in the 1980s, educational resources were already scarce, and schools with English teachers were not allowed to hire, mute English, and schools with no experimental conditions were taught "theoretical chemistry" and "theoretical biology"...
As a result, it is naturally impossible to see.
Xibao Middle School is not as good as the top and more than the bottom. In the past, it was a better township middle school. It is a school that can do chemistry experiments once a semester and twice a year. On the day of the experiment, students from no matter which grade they are in, they will come to see it, like a sports meeting. The viewing position is determined by grades and class. The class is usually at the bottom, followed by students from the graduate class and first-year high school students, and finally junior high school students who can watch it.
The chemical experiment that so many people watched has turned into a cheerful performance, and there is no way to start if you want to give a lecture.
Of course, chemical experiments are not a panacea. If you do more experiments, you may not have lower scores than students who do fewer experiments.
However, chemistry and biology that do not do experiments at all cannot be learned.
If you don’t have sensory knowledge, just learn a complete system of natural science. What is the difficulty? There is an adjective called “quantum physics”!
In college, there are many students who are striving for life because they cannot understand such "***" subjects.
However, such "***" things are really common for middle school students in the 1980s.
Therefore, when a carefully selected one-thirty-one young man can only get an average score of about 40 in the chemistry test paper, which is really a crime of war.
Because of Yang Rui's relationship, the students of Xibao Middle School were finally able to do experiments normally, and their chemistry scores also improved generally.
But in more township middle schools, this is a place where natural if it is in urban middle schools.
The chemistry of No. 9 is also the second only to English to scratch the ears and curls.
In Pingjiang, Yao Yue and Yao Le's parents were also scratching their heads.
In front of them, there was a Montblanc pen case with black velvet cloth. Beautiful white hexagonal stars were placed on the lower left side of the box, and the English name of Montblanc was in the middle.
Yao Yue doesn't understand this name, Yao Le doesn't understand, but Yao's mother can tell at a glance because she works in the business system.
It is said to be a commercial system, in fact, Yao's mother's job is a salesperson. Although by the late 1990s, salespersons were already jobs that anyone could apply for, in 1983, salespersons were 10% of state-owned enterprises.
Moreover, because the commercial systems are all set up in bustling areas, salesmen are still very enviable. Not only does they have good income, but they also have many additional benefits, such as giving priority to purchasing goods of the same price but with better quality, etc.
Yao's mother has been a salesperson for almost 20 years. She not only has a deep experience, but also has a deep vision.
When she helped her daughter clean up the desk yesterday, she recognized the white hexagonal star on the box at a glance.
In the friendship store in Pingjiang, Yao's mother has seen a similar logo. The pen inside is said to be imported from abroad. The cheapest ones cost 100 yuan and the expensive ones cost over 1,000 yuan.
It is said that the cheaper ones are the cheaper pens produced by Marlboro now, and the expensive ones are the high-priced pens produced by Montblanc before.
The salesmen all chatted with it as an urban legend.
Yao's mother instinctively went to the Friendship Store to check, and suddenly found that the box she saw at home contained a pen model priced at foreign exchange coupon of more than 2,000 yuan.
Yao's mother did not dare to tell others about this, so she called her husband back with a soft foot. The two discussed it for a day, but in the end they did not dare to mention it in front of their daughter, so as not to affect her exam.
However, today is the last day of the college entrance examination, and Yao's mother and father are sitting upright, waiting at home.
From the outside, they are just like all parents who are waiting for their children to return home after the exam, but they are more complicated and more uneasy.
