Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 47: Cold Winter, Joint Examination of Six Schools
A joint examination refers to a joint examination in which two or more schools take the same set of examination papers at the same time but in different locations .
There is an education research association for the joint entrance examination of six schools in Anhui Province. The association was established in 2004. The six schools are: Luzhou No. 1 Middle School, Yicheng No. 1 Middle School, Wuhu No. 1 Middle School, Gangcheng No. 2 Middle School, Zhucheng No. 2 Middle School, and Anhui Normal University Affiliated Middle School.
The schools use this platform to strengthen exchanges and cooperation, share educational experiences and achievements, and commit to research on sustainable development of education in the new era.
The test papers are originally set by six high schools in turn. The purpose is to discover the weak links in the preparation for the exam and formulate targeted strategies for the next stage of review.
At first, the joint entrance examination of six schools in Anhui Province was only conducted in these six high schools, but as the "gold content" of the joint entrance examination became higher and higher.
It is attracting more and more schools to participate, and Maochang High School is one of them.
So much so that the joint entrance examination of six schools in Anhui Province now has a name, and is called the "small college entrance examination" of Anhui Province.
Therefore, by comparing the scores of the joint entrance examination of the six schools, candidates can roughly determine their current position among the many candidates in Anhui Province, and the schools can also make a psychological estimate of the college entrance examination situation next year.
Chen Zhou doesn't care about these things, or whether it is a joint examination of six schools. What he cares more about is whether the corresponding problems can be exposed in the examination.
He is eager to improve himself again and again.
Because during this month, his preliminary ratings in various subjects remained good.
Although my Chinese and English scores were sometimes above 140 in the weekly tests, it was not possible to get 140 points every time.
The finishing kick was never taken.
Moreover, the time requirement for the second stage of the pre-task is four months, which is evenly divided into Chinese, mathematics, English, and science, which means one month for each subject.
So, Chen Zhou was a little anxious.
But anxiety cannot solve any problem, so Chen Zhou hopes that this time the test paper of a different "flavor" can give him an opportunity to break through.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, after the Chinese New Year's Eve, on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the joint examination of six schools officially began.
The first exam.
After Chen Zhou got the Chinese test paper and glanced through it, he found that this test paper was a bit difficult.
Let’s start with the composition again. The Chinese composition topic is a cartoon.
This type of composition topic tests students' understanding of comics the most, and one may go off topic if not careful.
However, Chen Zhou was still confident, and he interpreted the comics in the safest way.
That is to say, extract the elements in the comics and understand the meaning of the comics from the meanings of different elements.
Soon , the composition was finished, and I went back to the beginning and started doing the objective questions.
I don’t know where the reading comprehension and poetry appreciation materials were found from, but Chen Zhou had never seen them before.
There is also the judgment of pinyin and typos, all of which are rare characters.
This test paper is very unfriendly.
But relying on his usual accumulation and the true meaning of Xu Shaowen's teaching, Chen Zhou was still able to cope with these difficult questions.
After finishing everything, he looked at his watch and saw that there were still ten minutes left before the end of the exam.
Chen Zhou checked the answer sheet, confirmed that it was correct, handed in the paper and left.
When walking out of the examination room, Chen Zhou sighed lightly. He felt that the possibility of making a breakthrough with this test paper was a little slim.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to estimate his score using his collection of wrong questions. He went straight to have lunch and then returned to the classroom to study.
When Chen Zhou entered the classroom, he found that everyone was unhappy and it was obvious that they were very uncomfortable with the test paper.
No wonder. It was the last exam before the New Year. After taking the exam, I could have happily celebrated the New Year, but I ended up getting a test paper like this one. I guess the teacher who wrote the test paper was also greeted by many people.
The subsequent math and comprehensive science papers were relatively friendly, and Chen Zhou felt that he did quite well.
The scores for basic questions and advanced questions are evenly distributed, which is very suitable for him to expose his knowledge blind spots.
However, when Chen Zhou was doing the math test, he couldn't resist the urge to use Lagrange's mean value theorem when he saw the questions about function inequalities.
"It can be used for multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions, since you can't see the process anyway. But it's a pity to use it for problem-solving questions. It would be so convenient if we use this theorem..."
"No, I have to figure this out during the winter break and complete the hidden mission."
Chen Zhou sighed silently as he wrote, and his desire to fully understand this theorem deepened.
The last subject is the English test.
After Chen Zhou finished listening to the test , he started writing the following questions quickly.
English test paper, easy level!
Filling in the blanks, cloze test, and reading comprehension, Chen Zhou had almost no problems and made it all the way to the composition test.
Composition, he paused for a moment.
It seems that writing is a bit difficult.
The English composition actually included a fable.
It seems that there was a farmer in the past who had many subordinates working for him.
The wages of these workers are already very low, but the farmers are still not satisfied and try every possible way to oppress the workers in every aspect.
In the end, the workers rose up in resistance and punished the farmer for their own interests.
This reminded Chen Zhou of a person, Zhou Paopi.
"Zhou Pa Pi" is a fictitious "bully landlord" created by the famous writer Gao Lao, from the poem "The Cock Crows at Midnight".
This story is quite consistent with the requirements of the composition. If you add some of your own ideas, it can form a complete composition.
So Chen Zhou decisively wrote the story of Zhou Pa Pi.
He compared Zhou Paopi to a "shameless thief."
After finishing, I checked it with satisfaction, filled in the answer sheet, handed in the paper and left.
I feel relieved after the exam and just wait for the results to come out.
The answers to the joint examination of the six schools have already been sent to each school.
Each school has also made detailed arrangements to release results as quickly as possible.
Because, after the exam, it was already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the senior high school students had a holiday and finished their classes on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
There are only three days in between, and the scores of all subjects must be released within three days, and then the total scores will be calculated and ranked.
I have to say that this project is quite large.
But the ones who are least likely to disappoint people are the teachers who teach the college entrance examination. They have long since mastered the speed of marking test papers.
During the listening time before evening self-study, Wang Xuehui came with the test paper and took up the class.
This seems to have become Wang Xuehui's habit after every monthly exam.
When the test papers were handed out, Chen Zhou scored 136 points, 2 points lower than Zhang Yifan, 2 points higher than Chen Haining, and 8 points lower than Yang Yiyi...
After comparing it this way, Chen Zhou felt that it was not bad and there had been progress.
But when he learned that the highest score in mathematics in this joint entrance examination was full marks, and that there were quite a few people who got full marks, he felt that this was not acceptable.
The gap has been narrowing, but the gap has always been there.
Moreover, how can we compare with those who got full marks? Who knows where the upper limit of human beings is?
During the second and third evening self-study sessions, Chen Zhou did not expect that the chemistry and physics teachers also came with test papers.
I just took the comprehensive science exam this morning, and the scores are already out.
Chen Zhou scored 98 points in physics and 88 points in chemistry.
Just like mathematics, looking at the two subjects of science and comprehensive science, they are close to the excellent line, but still have not surpassed it.
Chen Zhou couldn't help but think of Chinese and English. Now they were at the same starting line.
