Chapter 32 Maybe you never know why the exam is so difficult
At 1:30 p.m., the paper closing bell rang, and the four-and-a-half-hour second half officially ended, and the CMO national final exam officially ended.
Xu Chuan and Gong Rihui were waiting in the training room, waiting for the other candidates from southern Hunan to return.
In this regard, the Shonan Training Team did a better job. No matter whether I knew the questions or not, I had to persevere until the last second.
Maybe inspiration will come to you in the last few minutes?
However, if you know something like mathematics, you know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it. Even if you force a person to grow wings and fly into the sky, he may not be able to solve math problems that he doesn't know.
"Teacher Gong, I'm going to die. The second half of this national final is so difficult. I don't even have time to check."
Outside the training room, I didn't see him, but I heard his voice first, and the noisy voice of Lu Tianrui, a little round-faced man, rang out.
"Oh, you've finished everything. I haven't even finished the questions."
"The first question was too difficult, so I solved the first question."
"Stop talking, I only answered the first two questions of the next two big questions. Why is it so difficult to be like this in the second half of this year."
"The first half was fine, but in the second half everyone was numb."
"I estimate that this year's national finals will be scored at least fifty points."
"Look at the sky! I'm about the same."
"I'll probably give it thirty or forty points."
Accompanied by Lu Tianrui's voice, there were also the voices of other students in southern Hunan, and then a group of people appeared in the training room.
"This year's questions are indeed a bit difficult, but everyone just needs to try their best."
Gong Rihui smiled and comforted everyone in the room. The exam was over and no matter how harsh it was, it was useless.
Moreover, after Xu Chuan came out, he copied the questions and showed them to him. The questions in the second half were indeed quite difficult. It was really difficult for these students to solve them all in four and a half hours.
Especially the plane geometry, it took him nearly an hour to solve it.
As for Xu Chuan, that’s another matter
Since the provincial training camp, he has never seen this student as an ordinary student. From his point of view, Xu Chuan's mathematical ability is definitely professional-level, and may be on par with him, a professional mathematics teacher.
"Brother Chuan, you handed in the paper in advance again, what a pervert! You can hand in such a difficult question in advance!"
After entering the training room, Lu Tianrui immediately saw Xu Chuan standing next to teacher Gong Rihui, and he suddenly looked resentful.
He reluctantly finished all the questions. He didn't even have time to check. He didn't know what was right or wrong. However, this pervert still handed in the paper in advance. This was really shocking.
Xu Chuan glanced at the small round face and did not answer. If he started a fight, it would probably be endless.
However, after handing in the paper in advance, he and teacher Gong Rihui wrote out the questions and answers, which made it easier for his teammates to check.
The national finals of the number competition are over, and the grading work is in full swing.
Within the Mathematics Association, the six professors who participated in setting the question and four other directors recruited from the board of directors worked together to conduct the marking.
Ten people, with an average of 40 test papers per person, have to read them all in a day and a half, which is very energy-consuming.
After all, this is a national mathematics competition. Although there is only one standard answer to a question, many candidates may use different problem-solving methods and ideas to solve the question.
Different paths lead to the same goal, just like Xu Chuan used calculus to do analytic geometry when he was on the school training team.
For every marking, the marking teacher must carefully check the students' answers.
"This class of students is not good. The first half was a little better. I saw several blank papers in the second half. Alas."
In the marking group, Academician Zhang Weiping, professor of geometry question writing, shook his head, put a zero on the white paper in his hand, and then sighed.
The judges who were reviewing the papers all raised their heads.
"Lao Zhang, have you ever thought that maybe it's not that the students are bad, but that the questions you asked are too difficult?" "That's right, the questions in the second half were originally from Paper A, but you ended up forcibly taking three questions from Paper A All brushed down.”
"Are you sorry? It will take me at least an hour to do the geometry question in the second half."
"I took a look and the average score this year is probably less than sixty."
"Isn't it just a meal? You are really making things difficult for these students."
"Is it difficult? I don't think so." Zhang Weiping retorted, pushing his eyes on the bridge of his nose.
Hearing this, a row of blank eyes in the marking classroom all came over.
A top mathematician and an academician of the Academy of Sciences with extremely high achievements in geometry came to pose a problem to this group of students whose average age was less than 18 years old. He had the nerve to say that it was not difficult.
"Huh? This student is good. He solved all the first questions in the second half, and he solved them all correctly, with correct steps and correct answers."
"I looked at the back. He has finished the last two big questions, and the answers are correct."
"Lao Zhang, you made a mistake. It seems that there is a perfect player this time."
Suddenly, a marking teacher shouted in surprise, which aroused the curiosity of other judges.
The difficulty of this year's CMO national finals questions is obvious to all, especially the second geometry question. It is not an exaggeration to say that the difficulty is the first among all geometry questions in the first year.
Judging from the performance of candidates in previous years, there may not be a single perfect score this year. When a perfect scorer suddenly appears, everyone is surprised.
On the side, when he heard that someone had completely solved the second geometry he had created, Zhang Weiping couldn't hold himself back any longer. He put down the answer sheet in his hand and walked over.
"Let me see, let me see."
Grabbing the test paper from another marking teacher, Zhang Weiping couldn't wait to review it.
Several minutes passed before Zhang Weiping came back to his senses and sighed.
"There are so many talented people in this generation."
Several judges who gathered around to watch also praised him.
"Not bad, indeed good. This student got full marks in the second half."
"Hahahaha, Lao Zhang, it seems you owe us a meal each."
“I’m going to Juchun Garden to eat Buddha Jumping over the Wall and braised shark’s fin!”
Zhang Weiping glanced sideways at the directors of the question group and said unconvinced: "A perfect score in the second half does not mean a perfect score in the first half."
"Oh, do you believe this?"
"That is, touch your own conscience and ask it if you believe it?"
Hearing this, Zhang Weiping was immediately discouraged.
Indeed, he didn't even believe it when he said it. This student had solved all three of the most difficult questions in the second half. It was absolutely correct and he received full marks. There was no reason why he couldn't solve the easier questions in the first half yesterday.
Moreover, they have already reviewed yesterday's test papers today, and there are quite a few who got full marks.
"If I had known the question earlier, I would have made it a little more difficult. I really suffered a big loss this time."
Zhang Weiping muttered something, returned the answer sheet in his hand, and went back to review it.
So you may never know why the questions in this competition or college entrance examination are so difficult.
Maybe this is just a bet between a certain teacher in the question group and others.
