At exactly nine o'clock, as the invigilator began the exam, the only sounds left in the classroom were the rustling of test papers and the rustling of answer sheets being marked.
Some people have the habit of doing the composition or looking at the composition topic first. When they turned to the last page, they all looked surprised. This Chinese test was unusual. The Chinese test score was the highest in history, completely crushing other subjects.
Originally, Chinese and mathematics were the two giants, but now Chinese has become the only one. This undoubtedly makes people who are good at science explode, and makes people who are good at liberal arts revel. A difference of 50 points is enough to decide whether you go to Teikyo or other key universities, whether you go to a first-tier or second-tier university, and whether you go to an undergraduate or a junior college.
Now it seems that the liberal arts students were happy too early. They found that they could not get the extra 40 points for a 100-point essay, and they were not even sure they could write the original 60-point essay well.
Proposition 1: Grasp the pulse of the times, keep up with the spirit of the times, and keep up with the current spiritual revival... What do you think of the extraordinary...
Except for the words "spiritual" and "supernormal" which are very eye-catching, it is essentially a normal argumentative essay. The college entrance examination questions have been advancing with the times, and often use recent current events as topics.
Many people had already guessed the topic of Reiki Revival and had made adequate preparations.
But the problem lies in proposition 2. Unlike the long introduction in proposition 1, it only has one short line of requirements. The shorter the requirements, the narrower the scope, making it almost impossible to think of any possibility of getting around it.
Proposition 2: A strong nation is built on a strong people, and a rich nation is built on a rich people. Please hypothesize how to write a book on how ordinary people can also practice cultivation, so that everyone can be like a dragon, and there will be billions of Yaos and Shuns.
Seeing this requirement, the candidates were silent at first, then frustrated, and some even cried because of the huge pressure. The tiny crying sounds kept rising and falling, and a huge sense of grievance surged in their hearts, and some candidates' extremely tense strings broke.
This is obviously not a question that will appear in the college entrance examination, and it is not something that a normal person can do. Asking them to come up with a method that allows everyone to practice is no less than asking them to write a method for controlled nuclear fusion.
After all, only a few people had emotional breakdowns, and the vast majority of people continued to answer the questions normally. At most, the 40 points for question 2 were ignored, and the final total score of Chinese was still 10 points higher than that of mathematics, so overall they still had the advantage.
It’s just not as big as I imagined.
The decision to increase the score of the Chinese language test and change the composition rules in the college entrance examination was not made on a whim. After several months of planning, the Ministry of Personnel finally finalized this plan with the least impact.
A score of 200 in Chinese looks like an advantage, but in fact only one person can get the extra score, and the others still have to do 150 in Chinese. As for the few people who have a mental breakdown, there may be reasons for the change in the rules, but the essence is that their psychological quality is not good enough.
If it weren't for someone's personality, the questions the Ministry of Personnel would have set would have been even more perverted. Even if it meant screwing up this year's college entrance examination and causing countless candidates to fail.
The images of the examination room were transmitted to Gaojing through the surveillance. In the spacious and solemn room, wooden tables and chairs were placed from left to right, and the six ministers, the current prime minister, and some leaders of special functional departments were sitting there. Of course, there was also a representative of the monks who were very important at the moment. The person who came this time was Qingxuzi, the Jindan elder of Shangqing Palace.
Qingxuzi was extremely bored and had no interest in this kind of thing. Even knowing that immortals in the world also took the college entrance examination only aroused his interest a little. He had no idea why such a person took the mortal examination and he was not qualified to ask.
Mortals like to make a fuss about nothing. The immortals may be fulfilling their wishes. Since there are no special instructions, everything should proceed as usual. Too much care will make people dissatisfied.
After all, immortals in this world do not need special care from mortal officials.
Sitting next to him, Yang Lichuan, the Minister of War, had a completely different attitude, sometimes drinking water, sometimes wiping sweat, and his breathing was unusually irregular. He was in a state of extreme excitement and anxiety, and his demeanor became a little nervous.
Qingxuzi was somewhat familiar with him, and he used a wisp of his magic power to appease him, saying, "Master Yang, there is no need to be like this. As long as everything goes on as usual, the Immortal will not blame you no matter what problems arise during the period."
Yang Lichuan showed an awkward smile: "Unfortunately, we did a lot of things this time."
Very few people knew in advance about the changes to this year's college entrance examination essays, except for those present, Taoist Master Qingxuan.
"What did you do?" Qingxuzi became slightly interested. "You didn't tamper with the test paper to open various backdoors for the immortals? If so, you will most likely be disliked by others."
Yang Lichuan said: "We have indeed made many changes, but we have not opened any backdoors. This year's exam is the most difficult in the past 10 years."
They were not fools, so they naturally understood that excessive special treatment might annoy the other party. Moreover, with the computing power of the great cultivators, which was comparable to that of a computer, the questions in the college entrance examination would not be difficult for the other party. But they understood that they could not do nothing, otherwise they would be the ones who would suffer when something really happened.
In order for the immortal to pass the exam successfully, the questions should be as difficult as possible.
"So what did you do?" Qingxuzi became even more interested when he saw their expressions. "You didn't want to persuade the immortal to retreat by giving him difficult questions, and then use the back door to sell him favors, did you?"
This was the most dangerous method he had thought of, and it was basically the same as highway robbery. If they were not careful, they might be struck to death by lightning, even if they were powerful figures in Zhoudi.
The modern times are different from the ancient times. The government can still function without them. It's just that for various reasons, as long as these people don't make mistakes, even Jindan has to give them some face. Society emphasizes order, even in the immortal era, it emphasizes a legitimate reason.
