Chapter 16 Shock



From mapping and functions, to the limits of series, and then to the limits of functions..., the first chapter "Functions and Limits" alone is divided into ten sections, and each chapter has further subsections. The content is extensive and profound. For Wu Tong, this is his first exposure to this kind of cross-level mathematical knowledge. Compared with what he learned in high school, it is almost a leap forward.

If Wu Tong had not truly mastered high school mathematics and was not currently in a state of deep learning, with his comprehension ability developed to its current extreme, he would probably be in a state of reading a book written in a foreign language, confused and bewildered.

Now, she woke up at the perfect time, had plenty of time, and with the help of the Enlightenment Stone Tablet, why not study? Wu Tong calmed down and carefully studied every word, sentence, and formula, deducing step by step, slowly understanding and absorbing it, and practicing with the exercises after class.

While not as intensive as her freshman year retake, her progress was encouraging, progressing smoothly without any particular setbacks. Furthermore, as she deduced, she gradually established the logical thinking required for advanced mathematics, a process that was steadily accelerating. Advanced mathematics had opened a new chapter in the world of mathematics for Wu Tong.

Wu Tong spent the entire afternoon and evening thoroughly studying Chapter 1, Functions and Limits. Before returning to school for evening self-study on Sunday, she finished studying Chapter 2, Derivatives and Differential Calculus, and also reviewed part of Chapter 3.

While Wu Tong was absorbed in his advanced math studies, the sophomore teachers at Xincheng No. 1 High School were also working overtime to grade the papers. The teachers generally graded the papers in a cross-disciplinary manner, with a machine grading the multiple-choice questions. Others were assigned to individual teachers based on the questions, with the final scores not revealed until the final tally was compiled.

Xincheng No. 1 High School's results in this year's college entrance examination were less than ideal. None of the top two universities were admitted, and the pass rate for undergraduate admissions was only acceptable for the top classes, while the lower classes were abysmal, with some classes even failing entirely. This infuriated the principal, who is now strictly overseeing the progress of the current senior class and, for the next senior class, is also working tirelessly to establish Xincheng No. 1 High School as a benchmark.

Therefore, we have a high-quality baseline test for the second-year high school students when they enter the school to see how many good seedlings there are and to carefully discover and cultivate them in advance.

During Sunday night self-study, the head teachers of each class hurried over to show their faces. They basically gave a similar sermon with a sullen face, asked the class monitor to supervise the class discipline, and then hurried back to the office.

Just as they finished grading the papers, they had to continue working non-stop to calculate the scores. Two teachers formed a team, and each team was responsible for calculating the total scores for each exam room.

Duan Hong, the head of the sophomore class, looked a little glum. He was the homeroom teacher for the top math students in Class 1 and 2. All the math papers for the mock exam had been graded and were entering the scoring phase. The scores for the top ten exam rooms had already been tallied, and not a single one had achieved a perfect score.

No matter how poorly the students in Classes 1 and 2 performed, they would not rank above 400. This meant that for such a simple question, which was only slightly elevated, not a single student from these two top classes scored full marks.

So what if the highest score is 148? It’s not a perfect score, so it’s not a perfect score. He is particularly dissatisfied with the class he teaches. It’s probably because they lack practice. He will go back and give those lazy students a hard time. They have to be strict and let go for the whole summer vacation.

···

"Huh...full marks for multiple-choice questions, full marks for fill-in-the-blank questions, full marks for answering questions, there's no mistake about it!" In the second round of combined scores, the teacher who was counting the scores in the eleven examination rooms exclaimed in surprise.

When this sentence appeared for the first time, they thought that a student who was good at mathematics had performed well this time, got full marks and performed well.

Duan Hong walked over and took a look at the perfect paper. The handwriting was neat, the answers were rigorous and correct, the logic was clear, and the last two questions that were beyond the syllabus were answered satisfactorily. This proved that this student must have studied on his own and his progress exceeded the school's teaching. He was a good seedling. He secretly took note in his heart and would pay attention to which student it was later. Maybe he could even organize a competition for him.

However, no one expected this sentence to repeat five times during the summing up process, immediately arousing the curiosity of all the teachers in the office. What kind of feng shui is this exam room? How come there are full marks in every subject except Chinese in this exam room?

"Could it be the same student's score?" Two teachers exchanged a look of surprise and uncertainty. These two teachers were the invigilators for the eleventh exam room. They suddenly remembered the person in their own exam room. "Is it the little girl who handed in her paper half the time early?"

If that's the case, it's even more shocking. He handed in the paper half of the time early and got full marks. It's simply outrageous!

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Zhang, what are you talking about?" They understood the first half of the sentence. It was possible that the same student's scores were the same! This possibility was greater than the possibility of a perfect score in each subject appearing in the eleventh examination room.

The other teachers, keen-eared, had already overheard the two teachers' whispers and were immediately curious to find out. Especially the head teachers of the top-notch classes one and two, who were all there. They really wanted a brilliant young student who had perfect scores in everything except Chinese. They had to fight for it! They had to fight for it. It would be a stroke of luck if they didn't secure such a talented student!

"Teacher Duan, Teacher Chen, we're talking about a young girl who, while we were invigilating, handed in her papers almost halfway early for every subject except Chinese. We took a quick look at them and saw they were pretty good, so we're wondering if those perfect-score papers belonged to that girl. If so, congratulations to our school in advance!"

With grades like these, domestic universities are vying for admission, and you're begging for awards to enroll! It's no problem to directly reserve admission to the top two universities.

Obviously, all teachers understand this.

"Open the papers!" Duan Hong, the grade leader, made the decision immediately. The answer was yes or no, verified on the spot. There was no time for speculation.

They practiced each monthly exam in the same format as the college entrance exam, with the papers bound and their names covered. After the grading was complete, the papers were opened and the scores for each subject were entered, and finally the final tally was compiled.

Normally, the grading would begin with the first exam room. This time, all the teachers moved in unison, first opening the papers from Room 11 and pulling out the papers with perfect scores. It was then that the papers belonging to the same class were revealed to everyone.

Teacher Zhang specially found Wu Tong's Chinese test paper. The bright red score of 133 was already a rare high score in Chinese and a very excellent result!

But compared with the excellent results in the other five subjects, which all had full marks, the Chinese result can only be a foil!
