There is such a thing in the college entrance examination every year, no matter how beautiful the inspiration is, "routines!!! Routines!!! Routines!!!"
After reading this article, those who have been in college or have children now will fall into the aunt's thinking...
At the end of the college entrance examination these two days, Gong Gaofeng's Weibo became popular because he chose his article "A Delicacy" in the Zhejiang college entrance examination papers. Moreover, the title is more difficult: please appreciate the ending "a weird light."
Therefore, 290,000 Zhejiang candidates rushed to Gong Gaofeng’s Weibo with a knife...
Someone complained: I reposted so many koi, but lost to a grass carp.
Gong Gaofeng himself responded improperly: "The standard answer has not come out, how do I know what I want to express?..."
In fact, this kind of complaint is repeated every year after the exam. It is said that many years ago, Han Han's article "Seeking a Doctor" was used as the test section. He carefully completed the 8 questions but only got 3 correct. He even chose the wrong "what the author wants to express".
This sounds absurd, how can authors not know what they want to express? And how can the experts of the examination institute say that the answers they give are the standard answers?
Today the college entrance examination is over, and the hard days of the high school seniors are finally over, but the final exam for ordinary middle school students is still coming. When I was in class recently, I was asking the students to repeatedly scan the mock test papers of various districts and counties. Frankly speaking, many of the essays selected in the test paper can’t be read, and some of the questions simulate the two, but I don’t know how to understand them. But when explaining, you have to understand that the article itself is not important. , What the author wants to express is not important, even your understanding and thoughts after reading the article are not important. What is important is that you have to figure out the intention of the questioner, and then answer the questions according to the answering norms we usually train.
Every time before the high school entrance examination, we will let the students try to make their own questions on a certain language segment, and let the students try to think from the perspective of the questioner.
Yes, the modern essay reading questions of Chinese in the middle and high school entrance examinations are never your true understanding of the article, nor is it your inner thoughts after reading the article. No one cares about these, we care about it. , Is the answer specification and the intention of the question maker.
After all, everything is a routine. After you understand the basic routines of answering questions, you will be like a fish in the water if you start the Chinese question. If you don't understand the Chinese answering routines of the high school entrance examination, it won't work if the king of Lao Tzu comes, whether it is Han Han or Gong Gaofeng. You have to honestly admit: "The standard answer has not come out, how do I know what I want to express?...
Moreover, not only is modern text reading like this, but there are also routines in classical Chinese answers.
In 2008, I took part in the examination papers of Shanghai high school entrance examination. Frankly speaking, it was an unpleasant experience: Many teachers from various districts and counties were gathered in the computer room of a school in the urban area and crowded together. At that time, the stool was the simplest plastic stool. It was rigid and could not be adjusted in height. The screen of the computer was locked under the tabletop. Therefore, many times we craned our necks like ducks fighting for food and stared under the glass plate of the tabletop. Computer screen.
And because the school is located in the most remote suburbs, I have to get up at five o'clock every day, and when I return to the dormitory, there are already thousands of lights.
Fortunately, I was young, so I didn't feel bitter. Because it was the first time I participated in the examination papers of the high school entrance examination, I was arranged to approve classical Chinese. In the afternoon of the first day, it was a trial batch. During the batch, I found a little problem. One of the questions is to explain the word "tang" in "Liang Xiaoer Debate Day" and its Japanese-Chinese Rutangtang.
The explanation of soup is hot water. But the problem is that during the review process, I found that some students wrote "boiling water", and some students wrote both "hot water" and "boiling water" to be safe.
The person in charge of the classical Chinese group was a middle-aged woman. I asked her and she told us clearly that it was written as "Boiled Water" and no points were given.
"What should I do if both hot water and boiling water are written?"
"Two points are deducted." She said, "Soup can only mean hot water."
**I said: "Sometimes the word soup does have the meaning of boiling water, such as raising soup to stop boiling."
She glanced at me, noncommittal, and left.
I stayed for a while, no one responded to what I said. Everyone started to criticize the test papers according to the person in charge. It was all wrong to write boiling water, and it was all wrong to write hot water and boiling water.
In this way, we approved one afternoon, and another one morning the next day. In the afternoon, the person in charge suddenly ran to our classroom, let us stop, and said: "The expert group gave advice, and those who wrote boiling water were also given points."
"What about the previous?" A teacher asked.
"It doesn't matter, are we going to approve twice?"**
At that time, the city had just implemented computer marking. For the sake of fairness, each test paper will be approved twice by a different teacher. If the difference between the two teachers' approval exceeds a certain value, the question will be re-rated. If the difference is within the range, it will Take the average of the two.
At that time, I looked at her without speaking. I can only sigh in my heart that children who wrote "boiling water" would really suffer if they were approved on the first day. Even if the teacher behind them gave two points according to the standard, they would only get one point on average. And if unfortunately both test papers are approved before then, he will innocently be deducted two points.
Randomly shuffled the order of review, so that everyone may become the unlucky one.
In fact, I think that most students who can write boiling water in the explanation of "soup" should be good students, because the explanation of soup in our textbooks only has the meaning of "hot water". Those who can write boiled water have probably thought of the idiom "to raise soup and stop boiling".
Just in front of the language test, such expansion and association will not help you, but will become a drag.
From then on, I told my students that the answers in classical Chinese must be based on the textbook, and a single word or stroke will not work. Moreover, you can only write one, write the one you think is the most certain.
In normal language classes, I always encourage them to talk about their opinions-real and not fake opinions. In my usual composition, I always let them show the true side of their hearts. Whenever I encounter the kind of text that touches me, I am like a treasure, and then I leave a lot of interaction with them.
But the closer I get to the exam, the less I can do it. Every time I talk about the test paper, it is a subversion of my previous practice.
Based on this, some people say that the most objective language test is probably the composition.
**Actually, the composition routine is still serious.
Almost every Chinese teacher understands that there are two systems for test composition and usual essays. In order to cope with the exam, I have developed three writing routines, which I summarized as: cultural heritage, seeing the big from the small, and thinking about the person by seeing things. **
I remember that for several years, the "cultural heritage" category has been very useful, and its routine is very simple in the end: you need to show your cultural skills in your composition as much as possible, and try to suggest to the reader: I am a book reader Wanjuan, a good student full of cultural heritage. A relatively low-level approach is to quote a lot of ancient poems.
As for the high-level approach, certain skills are required. You need to use some beautiful sentences to write music, calligraphy, Chinese painting, Peking opera, and Go, as long as the handwriting is neat and beautiful, and a proper Type A roll.
If you don’t believe it, buy a few copies of "Comments on Shanghai Junior High School Graduation Unified Academic Examination Compositions" published by the Shanghai Education Examination Institute. They are not thick, with more than 100 pages, and they are all samples of ABCD essays for the high school entrance examination that year. In the early years, there will be a large number of "cultural heritage" type A volumes.
I told the students that the A-type paper in there is the best template for your training test composition. This thin composition material is more helpful to your composition for the high school entrance examination than all the composition books you buy elsewhere. Looking through the A-type papers for a few more years, you will roughly know what kind of composition the teacher likes.
I remember that when I was scoring the papers in 2008, on the car that returned to the suburbs after the examination papers were approved in one day, the faculty members read an article that surprised them, and they wrote Peking Opera. Later, that essay was also selected into the "Composition Analysis" of that year, and it was really beautifully written.
Only more than a year later, when I read the "Composition Review" of the next year, I found a category A essay close to full marks, the first paragraph (I remember it was four lines, it should be about six or seven crosses) , It was exactly the same as the one about Peking Opera the year before. I forgot whether I wrote Chinese painting or calligraphy. Of course, it doesn't matter at all.
But this did not affect it as a category A composition, and achieved close to full marks.
After that, I was deeply inspired and started to train students to write "cultural heritage" in the third year of that year.
As a result, in 2009, our school's Chinese language scores have never been better. That record has not been broken yet. Although the overall ranking of my school has been very low.
By the way, I remember that before the college entrance examination last year, a student who had previously taught approached me and asked me about the wording of "cultural heritage". He said: "I found your method is very useful." Then give me I sent a screenshot of his latest test paper composition. For a 60-point composition, he scored 56 points.
Two months later, he told me that he was admitted to Tongji.
Later, you will find that all the true feelings, all the heart-wrenching sentiments, can't be worth two words-routine.
I saw a piece of news a few days ago, saying that an artificial intelligence company in Chengdu developed a robot for the college entrance examination that had scored more than 100 points in the math test.
As early as a few years ago-in the year Google's AlphaGo defeated Li Shishi, I heard an industry insider talk about the fact that a robot can only take a college entrance examination for a book in a few years.
Yes, the college entrance examination is difficult, but after the analysis, it is just a routine. Since there is a routine, it is naturally easy to be cracked by artificial intelligence. In comparison, the writer’s thoughts about the text itself and what he wants to convey to the reader are not important at all.
So, "The standard answer has not come out, how do I know what I want to express?..." In this case, it is not just a joke at all, but also a reality.
Of course, I think that in the future, smarter experts should not use living articles for exams. Just as some people questioned that Beijing's undergraduate entrance examination line was actually much lower than Hubei's scores, so a year later, Beijing withdrew from the national unified paper and started independent propositions.
The problem is solved perfectly!
