Chapter 47: The backup paper that made countless people cry [Seeking follow-up reading]

"Put your admission tickets on the upper left corner of the table. Do not whisper or make small movements during the exam. If you are caught, you will be disqualified from the college entrance examination."

A male invigilator in the examination room gave a stern warning, then put the metal detector in his hand on the table, and then went down to check again with the admission ticket on the candidate's table.

Even before the test papers were distributed, I could already feel the tense atmosphere in the classroom.

Xu Yuanping sat quietly in his examination seat. Apart from his admission ticket, there was only a simple stationery bag on his desk.

There was no sign of tension on his face.

To be honest, my emotions haven't fluctuated as much as my first time participating in the league.

Just treat it as a normal exam.

As for other people around, they naturally would not have any bad ideas. After all, cheating in the college entrance examination is a criminal act.

Moreover, even if you don’t know the candidate sitting next to you, even if you sneak a peek at an answer, it may not be correct.

Eight fifty-five.

The two invigilators unsealed the Chinese test paper on time.

five minutes later.

Accompanied by a rapid ringing of bells, the first college entrance examination of this year officially began.

After Xu Yuan got the Chinese test paper, he did not rush to work on it. After writing down the candidate information, he took a quick look at it. After making sure there were no problems with the test paper, he gradually became highly focused and started answering the multiple-choice questions at the front.

He has not done many Chinese examinations, or even pitifully few.

But thanks to his super memory in the state of deep learning, he has stored a wealth of knowledge.

Read the question once.

You will find the correct answer in your mind.

The following classical Chinese translation and reading comprehension was not stressful at all.

Time passes minute by minute.

Just after ten o'clock, Xu Yuan saw the topic of this composition.

……

“Fables in Han Feizi.”

"Write an article on the topic of emotional closeness and the perception of things..."

Xu Yuan silently recited the essay topic in his mind, muttering to himself while thinking about the entry point.

The topic of the composition is a fable from Han Feizi, which tells the story of a rich man in Song State whose wall was damaged by rain. His son and an old man from the neighbor's house said that if it was not repaired, someone would come to steal at night. Sure enough, many things were lost in the rich man's house at night. The rich man thought his son was very smart, and suspected that the things were stolen by the old man from the neighbor's house.

Obviously, this is a composition topic with a strong philosophical nature. If it is simply about the facts, it is basically a medium to low level article.

The key lies in the level of understanding of the closeness of feelings and the cognitive relationship between things.

Make sure you have a good idea.

Xu Yuan quickly came up with an idea for the article.

Just start writing.

His handwriting was not very good when he was in school in his previous life, and it was only after graduation that he decided to practice hard.

Nowadays, using it to answer exam papers and write essays is a definite plus point.

It took him nearly fifty minutes to finish writing the last word. He put down his pen and slowly exhaled.

The font is neat and beautiful.

There are no typos.

Looking at the work he had completed, a smile appeared on his face and he praised it with satisfaction.

"not bad."

It can be said that Chinese is very friendly to both poor students and students with good grades.

No matter whether the answers are correct or not, the test paper will be filled with answers when it is handed in.

There is not much pressure.

Xu Yuan waited until the bell rang and handed in his paper with other candidates. When he walked out of the examination room, he could see that many people had smiling faces. It seemed that they were all satisfied with their performance in the first Chinese exam in the morning.

Yang Bin and Wang Yongjie's exam site is at No. 2 High School, and they may not be back at noon. Xu Yuan didn't wait for anyone in particular.

I left the examination room at 11:30 am and went straight to the cafeteria.

According to the exam schedule, you can normally take a short nap in the afternoon to recharge your energy.

After all, it's easy to feel sleepy at this time of year.

However, out of caution, very few people actually sleep.

I was afraid that I would accidentally oversleep and miss the afternoon exam.

Xu Yuan stayed in the dormitory until almost two o'clock, then washed his face, carefully checked his things, and set off for the examination room.

Compared with the Chinese test in the morning, the math test in the afternoon was undoubtedly the easiest for him.

It is equivalent to a max-level character returning to the novice village.

But after finishing a few questions on the test paper, he couldn't help but frown.

Subconsciously, he murmured, "The level of this year's math test is a bit high."

First of all, the entire test paper was not difficult for him, but it was much more difficult than the high school exam questions he had done before. There were many question types that were almost as difficult as those in the mathematics competition.

It is easy to imagine how an ordinary high school student who has not received any training in this area would feel when faced with this math test paper.

Just as he was expressing his sympathy for this year's candidates, dusty memories from his previous life suddenly emerged in his mind.

His expression suddenly became a little stunned.

He recalled that a vicious incident occurred in 2003. Someone stole the test papers the day before the college entrance examination, resulting in the risk of missing questions in mathematics and the need to urgently use the spare papers.

Because the spare test papers are not used under normal circumstances, the questions will inevitably appear somewhat arbitrary, which leads to the difficulty of the entire test paper being extremely high.

I remember that many people walked out of the examination room crying that year, and the average score in many areas was even less than 60.

Because he signed up for the mathematics league again and did not follow the old path, he forgot about this matter.

"It looks like a lot of people are going to shed tears again this year."

Xu Yuan figured out the situation, shook his head and sighed to himself before putting his energy back into the test paper, in which he actually developed quite a bit of interest.

In just over half an hour, he had already solved the last and final question.

"Let {an} be the sequence of all the numbers in the set {2+2|0≤s＜y, and s, y∈Z} arranged from smallest to largest..."

……

"Write the terms of the sequence {an} into the following triangular number table according to the principle of small at the bottom and large at the top, small on the left and large on the right."

"Write down the numbers in the fourth and fifth rows of this triangular number table;"

"Seeking a"

-

"It's worthy of being the final question on the math test that has made countless students cry. It's really quite interesting."

After reading the title and two questions of the finale, Xu Yuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the questioner. So much mathematical knowledge was ingeniously involved in one question. Putting aside the difficulty, this finale question was indeed very well-posed.

After organizing his thoughts on the problem, he picked up his pen again and started answering the questions directly on the test paper.

“2+2＜—＞（y，s）”

“a=2+2=3”

……

In the end, even though I didn't speed up on purpose, the clock on the wall only showed four o'clock when I finished writing the last mathematical symbol.

When Xu Yuan had finished the test and didn't know what to do next, the other people around him were shrouded in despair. Faced with a test paper that was far more difficult than the usual simulations, their entire mentality gradually collapsed.

Especially as time goes by, the progress of answering questions remains stagnant and there is no change.

His face turned pale.

Some girls even couldn't help sobbing quietly.

Eyes are red.

The key point is that this situation did not only occur in one examination room. Even the invigilator was dumbfounded. He had never seen such an outrageous situation in all his years of invigilation.
